SCUM game just celebrated 1 year. Check out what new update is all about!

in #gaming5 years ago (edited)

Hello gamers and Scumers.

Lately, I've been playin SCUM game with my clan from my country and I might be a little bit addicted.

Putting aside how good game is, its developers are from my country and they made the nature in the game to look exactly like in real life. So, the feeling when I play the game is really special and it gives me a feeling no other game can.

However...

It doesn't matter where are you from. If you like survival realistic games with a bit of base building and PvP, then SCUM is for you. A lot of people who played DayZ or Arma, came to play SCUM and they are amazed by it.

Even tho' the game is still in developement, it offers a lot of fun and moments to have laugh, fun and really intense serious situations. With every new update, gamers get a dose of dopamine to get them through to the next update.

This time was no difference.

This time, a few days ago, SCUM game celebrated 1st birthday and devs gifted us with a big update. The update brought various things in the game, like 3 PoI, guns,...

This celebration would be nothing without some flares and fireworks so devs didn't dissapoint us. They added big and small fireworks and flares with a flare gun.

Now you can have a magnificent colorful view during the night or you can use them for a bait. A lot of players are drawn when something happens, especially fireworks.

So, wait for the night, light 'em up, go somewhere nearby, and wait for that curious guy to kill and loot him.


This update brought us more base building materials. We now got spikes that are very small but pointy and they hurt badly. If you're not carefull, you might not see them, especially during the night.

If you like to build big then new cabines will put a smile on your face. Even tho' you need a lot of logs and planks to build those cabines, they will provide a space and comfort you need in this crazy world.


They also added new weapon attachments anf a new weapon, AK-15. Attachments like suppressor for bow and AK will make your gameplay more exciting but you will need to use them wisely.

The new AK-15 is really looking good but unfortunatelly, I still didn't find it and never used it. My friends say that it feels good to shoot so I would want to find it and try it on some enemy.

The new AK-15 is beautiful but the old one, AK-47, got engravings in this update and it is looking good.

I would like if devs are more concentrated to optimise the game instead of creating engravings but I believe they will be optimising game as never before.


This update brought some fency things to wear. We are turning into hipster survivors with a new combat helmet and scarfs. LOL

The helmet is really looking nice. It is smaller than the military one but I am not sure which one is better or if there is any difference between those two except for how they look like.

I know military helmet got in its description that it is camouflaged so I like that one better.

I like that scarfs give you 2 slots in your inventory but also you can wear them to recognize your teammate on big distances. Wearing a scarf really can help with that so I want to see how the gameplay around scarfs develops.


Another great thing added are lights on the vehicles. Now you can turn them on during the night if you are stuck in a dense forest.

Don't think that you will be safe then. Lights can be seen from far away so it is up to you to decide to be a sneaky ninja or a lighthouse in the middle of the forest. Weird.

We weren't able to switch to 1st person mode when in the vehicle. Now, that's possible and it gives u a better feeling while driving. It is a small but very nice detail added in this update.


The best and funniest add on this update is the mighty red Ferrari, khm khm, I mean red Tractor. Even better than Ferrari :)

It is added for fun but I believe devs will be adding some carrier for it so that we can transport more logs at once. We really need that and I can't wait for it to happen.

Until then, you can drive your tractor and be slower than some guy running. Hey, at least you will die happy and laughing xD


The most important things to gamers were those 3 Points of Interest that are added on the map.

One of those ones is the Cheese Factory. I went there and it really looks amazing but it was much laggy buggy, I didn't want to lose my loot due to some glitch so I went away pretty fast.

I am pretty sure this place will be visited a lot but for now, I will wait for some optimisation before I go here again. I got food so I am not much interested in this place but I know the path will bring me here in a next days.


The second PoI is the Radio Station. Unfortunatelly, I still wasn't here and I really don't know where it is on the map.

I just hope we will be able to find a good spot on those radars to snipe and that the place will be packed with military loot.


The third and the last one is the biggest and most exciting place on the map now. It is Air and Military Base. Finally the north is gettings some attention as this base is now situated in D4 sector.

I bet this base was made for snipers to practice long range kills. There are a lot of spots to snipe from rocks and bushes so beware when you approch this location, it might cost you your life.


After this new update, we are able to tie the enemy. This will create a new minigame and I am eager to see how this will be used and what else will be implemented.

So far, you can tie your enemy if he has arms in the air. But, be aware because when you tie him, he can get away so you will need to tighten the rope a bit.



I am really happy with this update and how SCUM game is developing. It is still in early access and so far it feels and looks good. There are clear signs that this game will evolve into something special and hopefully, it will be the best survivial game out there.

It surely goes along that path so it's up to players and devs to bring it up there. I suggest you to buy the game while it's still not expansive and while there is not that much content.
