SCUM | Update 1.0 Patch Notes Print

End of an era, and a beginning of a new one. 1.0 is out! Check out what awaits you in this brand-new chapter!

With 1.0 we are also releasing something extra. The Deluxe edition is now also available for all those who wish to add a little bit more to their SCUM Survival experience!









Let's get on with the big one! With 1.0 the whole Island and environment have been reworked, revamped, and optimized. You will find massive changes from revamped POIs, brand new greenery, foliage system, snow biome shoreline, and much more. But do not worry, the POI location layout is exactly as you remember it. Your Zagorje is right where you left it, only different.



Not only are there changes to the environment, but we also have a completely new wetness system. Including how it visualizes on terrain, gear, and other things such as reduced visibility. Giving a whole new atmospheric feel to the island.



It will also take some time after the rain has stopped for the terrain to dry procedurally as well. This might seem like a small thing but when you see it in action your jaw will drop.



Not only that, but with the Island rework also comes so much terrain bug fixing as well, listing them all would be impossible. A major one is that with new optimizations and streaming speed, it means no more vehicles falling through terrain or buildings when driving at high speed.

Another big change are the bunkers, as there is another type of bunkers active!
Secret bunkers are now spread on the island, requiring a keycard to get in. Lower in loot but a safe option to gear yourself up. Do not think you can just linger in them and farm loot though, same exploit security system is in place just like in other bunkers.




This also means reduction in AB bunkers making them high risk high reward end game content they were intended to be.

With all this and so much more, it is truly SCUM Island 1.0.



Get ready to take cover! Armed NPCs are on the island, roaming, just waiting to get your head.



These new NPCs are a game changer on the island in both SP, PVE, and PvP because you never know when they will strike. Including multiple Tiers of NPCs, depending on the Tier, they will come at you with different gear so expect the unexpected.



Well, not just you, as you could also find them fighting puppets, as well as trying to survive.



Keep your head on a swivel, observe everything, admire nothing.



Return of the kings! Mariner and the Tractor are back in thier modular glory!



The Mariner, a well-known Seaplane, capable of taking off/landing on both land and water is the ultimate fast transport to wherever you wish and def choice vehicle for you Island dwellers.



Tractor is back! Not only that but it can now also be configured to be a force to reckon with. You have the standard version.



And naturally, we have a version for reasonable men, forced to do unreasonable things.





With 1.0 also you are able to make your own quests for your server or SP game. We already touched upon that on Saturday releasing the documentation and the tool early to give you time to get yourself familiar. You can find it here:



So get cracking.



Some big news in the weapons department as well. There have been many upgrades regarding them. To start with all weapons have got a fresh new crisp texture work and a really heavy pass of animations.



This includes not only animations on weapons but also shadows, on both melee and ranged weapons.

A change has been made to the way they are presented in the first person as well. We moved the camera around a bit more so that when you are moving around with a weapon in your hands it no longer takes up much of your screen, so you can still see what you are carrying and have good visibility.



This change not only goes for weapons but all items carried in hands.



Massive improvements have been made to First Time User Experience as well. From new tutorials, searchable codex, better tips and tricks everything. SCUM has always been and always will be a complex game to get into. We want to keep that, yet we still wish to help as many people as possible to enter ultimate survival.
Not only that we are opening a new set of Official servers with settings that will suit beginners, so if you are new or a returning player there is no better time to get into it.







And the big one, Server files are finally out for everyone who owns the game! You can host your own server on your own machine and customize it as much as you want. We even included the document to help you with setup. You can check it out HERE.

Chinese instructions

Note: It is always the safest option to boot the server manually through cmd as in document.

We cannot wait to see what kind of monsters you will create playing around with settings.
