• Adjusted damage calculations for vehicle collisions.
  
• Added new Christmas present packages.
  
• Buffed melee damage dealt to puppets.

• Added server setting disable timed gifts to disable Christmas presents.
  
• Setting_EncounterGlobalZoneCooldownMultiplier
  After the encounter ends it starts global cooldown until the the new encounter can appear in that zone. If it happens in the MTZ encounter and cooldown is set, that cooldown is not influencing HTZ and LTZ. This multiplier is added to based number.
  
  In most cases base values are like this:
  
  
  • HTZ - 300.00 - 600.00
    
  • MTZ - 0.00 - 0.00
    
  • LTZ - 0.00 - 0.00

As is tradition, make sure you have Christmas tree up in your base or else Santa will not come along to leave presents.

• Setting_MaxAllowedCharacters:
  Maximum number of alive characters on the server. Takes into account players, mechs, animals etc. Only the encounter manager entities are currently taken into account, and HTZ are excluded.
  If number is below 0 it goes to default value 128.
  
• Setting_EncounterBaseCharacterAmountMultiplier:
  Takes into account the base value of entities to be spawned on encounter trigger (ex. entering POI). The set value multiplies the base value. Current base values for puppets are:
  
  • HTZ - 4 minimum - 5 maximum
    
  • MTZ - 2 minimum - 3 maximum
    
  • LTZ - 1 minimum - 2 maximum
  
  Actual entities spawned will be a value between (multiplier * min base value) and (multiplier * max base value)
  
• Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPerPlayerMultiplier:
  Affects the base value of the characters in the encounter, it depends on the amount of players located in the encounter area.
  
  Base number (3 - 4) + (number of players - 1) * number of extra entities per player (1) * multiplier
  If there is 4 players in the HTZ area it would look like this:
  Between 3 or 4 + (4 -1) * (1 * 2(multiplier))
  The number of puppets would end being 10
  
• Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPlayerCapMultiplier:
  Sets the maximum cap on players taken into account. Example: Setting is set to 5. From 5 players on the numbers of puppets will remain the same.
  
• Setting_EncounterCharacterRespawnTimeMultiplier:
  Sets the time needed between entity respawn:
  
  Formula goes:
  Base value * multiplier
  
  Base value:
  
  • HTZ - From 0 to 0.5sec
    
  • MTZ - From 60 to 120 sec
    
  • LTZ - From 60 to 120 sec
• Setting_EncounterCharacterRespawnBatchSizeMultiplier:
  Sets the size of respawn waves for entities:
  
  Formula goes
  Batch size * Multiplier
  
  Batch size:
  
  • HTZ - 0
    
  • MTZ - From 1 to 2 entities per wave.
    
  • LTZ - From 1 to 2 entities per wave.
  
  note: For some of you that want to set the POI to be clear once cleared till everyone leaves the POI try setting this to 0.
  
• Setting_EncounterCharacterAggressiveSpawnChanceOverride:
  Sets chance to spawn an immediate aggressive entity which will attack the player:
  
  Value is expressed in percentage and goes from 0-100
  
• Setting_EncounterCharacterAINoiseResponseRadiusMultiplier:
  Sets distance between the alerted entity (ex. screaming puppet) and other entities that can hear it. In other words the distance that the alerted entity be able to alert others.,
  
  Formula goes:
  Base radius*multiplier
  
  
  • HTZ - 20 meters
    
  • MTZ - 20 meters
    
  • LTZ - 30 meters
• Setting_EncounterHordeGroupBaseCharacterAmountMultiplier:
  Sets the size of a horde wave. Other words how many extra puppets there will be spawned at any single time once the horde is triggered until max size of the horde is reached.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeGroupExtraCharacterPerPlayerMultiplier:
  Same as Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPerPlayerMultiplier, but for horde wave size
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeGroupExtraCharacterPlayerCapMultiplier:
  Same as Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPlayerCapMultiplier, but for horde wave size
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeBaseCharacterAmountMultiplier:
  Total horde size. Sets the maximum amount of puppets in a horde.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeExtraCharacterPerPlayerMultiplier:
  Same as Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPerPlayerMultiplier, but for total horde size.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeExtraCharacterPlayerCapMultiplier:
  Same as Setting_EncounterExtraCharacterPlayerCapMultiplier, but for total horde size.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeActivationChanceMultiplier:
  Each action has it's own percentage chance to activate a horde ex. firearms, fireworks etc. This sets the multiplier that will either reduce or increase those chances.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeNoiseCheckCooldownMultiplier:
  Sets multiplier on how often the encounter manager checks for trigger (this case noise) to activate the encounter.
  
  Formula goes
  base value * multiplier.
  
  Base value is set in seconds and is different for each location type.
  
• Setting_EncounterHordeSpawnDistanceMultiplier:
  Multiplier that sets how far from the player normal puppets will start spawning (name is a bit misleading will be changed).
  
  Formula goes
  Base value * multiplier

Now for the community update. We are glad so many of you are enjoying the 0.95 and we want to thank you for leaving your feedback for us. We went through it over the weekend and there was so much of it we decided to address the main things this way.

We are looking into puppet spawning directly to players in a horde situations. We can confirm this is not intended and did not happen during our testing. So any and all details you can send us would be appreciated and a tweak will come soon.

And good news for the private server owners and Single player enthusiasts. We will be adding the settings you requested that will let you tweak the hordes a bit more so stay tuned.

As for the server settings already added, you asked for a better explanation of how it works and some concrete numbers. We are working on a better document to provide to you guys on base values and how it works. There is a lot of data to go through though but you asked for it. ETA for the document will be tomorrow on the 19th of December. Apologies we could not provide it sooner and we promise to give out proper punishment to people responsible. Like eating raw frog legs or something, still thinking about it.

Note: Due to huge changes, we will unfortunately need to execute a partial wipe on all servers. All of your skills and gold will remain.





To start off we have done a lot of optimizations on both the server and client. You will see an increase in server performance and it allowed us to implement the new features and prepare the groundwork for future additions. This does mean that there were cutbacks on some things though such as puppets and vehicles no longer trigger mines as it ticked the server way too much. Unfortunately one of the features that took a hit are bunkers. Since there were so many of them active all the time we made some changes to them so listen up:

Abandoned bunkers have been reworked.

Now only 2 out of 17 bunkers are active for 24 hours. The rest are inactive and can be activated with the appropriate keycard.
You can find keycards in police stations and in the radiation zone police station that are regulated by the server settings.
Cards found this way only last 24 hours, after you have found a card from this location you can't find a new one as long as the card you've found exists.

If you manage to find a keycard for your bunker, after opening the main door the bunker will be active for 3 hours.

You can also get keycards from sentries and cargo drops that last for 48 hours. Keycards from sentries and cargo drops are not regulated by server settings and they do not count towards max possible number, you can always get them.

As long as the bunker is inactive, there are no puppets and there is no loot inside.

If you log in to a bunker that is inactive, you will be teleported outside without any loot on you.

If you stay in the bunker that is closing (alerted by SFX) you will be teleported outside and you will lose all your gear.

Below you will also find server settings that can adjust all of this for private servers.



A big thing coming in this update is the Codex. We all know that SCUM is a huge game with a lot of features added throughout the Early Access. And we see the increase of new players getting overwhelmed with it all. So after a long time we updated the tutorials.



On your TAB menu, you can now open up the Codex where you can now easily go through everything you need to know to survive and thrive on the island. It will even take into account if you change any keybinds. Speaking of which, keybinding has also been reworked. Before all of the binds were hard coded and changing them did not really work properly. With the rework it now works like a charm AND gives you more options to change your binds. Go nuts!

But that is not all:



At the start, you can choose what level of survival tips you want. For those already familiar with the game feel free to turn it off. Everybody else can adjust it accordingly on how much help they need.

This can be changed in the Options menu as well.




YES! FINALLY! The pickup is back, in all of its 6 seated, now modular glory!







Now called the Rager, it will be familiar to all of you who have been with us for a while now. For those of you who are not, you have something to look forward to. This massive gas guzzler can fit 6 people and so much load in it, that it can open a new streaming meta.



You have asked, we have teased. Now it is finally here! The crafting rework is here! Bringing with it all the biggest QoL additions requested.



From the start, you can see that UI is much more pleasant and intuitive. Starting from the search bar at the top of the list. The ability to choose from items in inventory and vicinity while crafting to categories and favorite options for quick access to most crafted items. Not only that but you have 3 highly important buttons on the bottom as well.

Let's go from left to right.

1) Will give you the materials needed details. This will put you on the screen that used to be on the left. But different.



From here you can see something new here as well. Just like at traders, you can now immediately choose how many you want to craft. That is right, no longer do you have to click for every single arrow. Do you have 10 sticks? Craft 10 arrows immediately.

2) Autocraft. Self-explanatory, this will continue to craft the item for as long as you have the materials to do so.

3) Confirm craft button. When you choose what and how many you want to craft just press that button and do whatever you want while your character crafts it.

To favorite your crafting item on this screen you can see a little star on the top left of the icon.

A big note is we also changed how skill requirement works. As of now all of the items craftable are available to all players. What changes depending on your skill level are the materials needed to craft.
So a character with a higher Survival/Engineering skill (depending on the item) will use fewer resources to craft the same item compared to what a character with lower skill would need.

All that and much more, crafting will now be a much more pleasant experience!



Let's talk about the feature which named the update. The horde. A lot of changes hit puppets and their behavior, all of them making a major impact on the flow of island exploration.



On the island, there are now 3 types of zones everywhere.

• High threat zone (HTZ) - Encounters with puppets are imminent. Not being careful will all but certainly trigger the horde to come down on you.
  
• Medium threat zone (MTZ) - Encounters with puppets are common. Caution is still advised and horde chance is still a big factor.
  
• Low threat zone (LTZ) - Encounters with puppets are rare. Chance of a horde is low as well.

So depending on where you are you have a higher chance to trigger the horde.

But what is a horde? Silly question but will answer it anyway my hypothetical imaginary friend. When you enter a POI you will find roaming puppets just as you have before. There is a kicker though, IF you are not careful and silent you will attract the horde. There are 2 ways to trigger a horde:

1) Gunfire, explosions and other loud sounds.
2) A puppet spots you and screams for backup.

When the horde is triggered puppets will come for you from all sides with numbers depending on how many players are in the area.

So you might think ok, no big deal, I will just get inside and wait them out. Nope, not a viable tactic anymore.





Puppets can now vault through windows and bash through doors. Do not say you have not been warned. And yes do not worry, they can not open locked doors and will even ignore BB doors.

And of course, we have added server settings to tweak all of this from horde probability to the number of puppets. Go nuts.

All of this is possible due to our new encounter manager. This great system is managing hordes for now and another spawn which I will let you figure out as a nice surprise. In the future it also allows us to finally add more NPCs as well.



Good news for all of NVIDIA GFX owners as well! We have implemented DLSS 3.5 and NVIDIA Frame generation! So all of you who have your cards that support it, give it a go you should see a massive boost in your framerate and we all know more frames means more gamer points.

Note: there is a current known issue if you are in ALT+TAB menu (when you hold ALT+TAB) and your character is in animation it can cause a crash.




Hey you! Yes, you! You ever wanted to set something on fire, but it was over there and not here? Well, guess what, now you can! Introducing the flamethrower, yep it throws flame!



As the name suggests you will need to craft it and once you do just add some fuel to this bad boi and go nuts!




Been a while since we released a new firearm but here we go. And not just any but a new DMR!



Chambered in .308 caliber this crisp Belgium made DMR will make short work of any foe at any distance.


Something for the history buffs. Up to this point the ZF scope originally made for the Kar98 rifle was compatible with the Mosin Nagant rifle as well. This was more of a placeholder. But now we have a proper scope for the Mosin, PU scope. Now you can deal with any enemy at the gate.




In the same way, 45 ACP weapons used a 9mm suppressor as a placeholder. Now we do not have to explain to you guys why firing a bigger round through a smaller hole is not really idealistic, or maybe we do. Nonetheless 45 has its own suppressor now.




We have a flamethrower so we can say you can put fire in firefighting. You still need a proper uniform though. Firstly we have the new item Firefighter helmet



And secondly, we have reworked the work clothes into firefighter uniforms.
