SCUM - Community projects shoutout

Hello, SCUM community!

Hope we didn't get you worried as we were a bit silent for the last couple of days. While some of us are baking in the hot sun and getting those tan lines from swimming shorts, some of us have stayed in the office to make sure that all office equipment is still in place.

Jokes aside - we're bringing you something new that's a bit different from what we've usually done. We want to take a moment to highlight the great contributions our community has done for the overall SCUM experience. While the entire SCUM community is awesome in itself, we'd like to showcase the individuals that really outdid themselves and created tools and features that are now almost ubiquitous to players, server owners and even devs alike.

Here's a short overview of some of the projects:


[h3]SCUM TRADER CONFIGURATOR by Akamai
[/h3]



Are you a server owner or a single player enthusiast that wants to make some tweaks to the overall economy of the game? Have no fear - the SCUM trader configurator is here! This simple tool will ease up the process of tuning specific values at in-game traders and will make your prisoner life easier by allowing you to get more bang for your buck!



[h3]SCUM SERVER MONITORING by Akamai
[/h3]



Want to know where the action's at? With the SCUM server monitoring tool, you have a nice, clean overview of the active servers, as well as their current player count. Just find the server you find most appealing, copy the IP of the server and paste it in the multi play menu in the game and you're set! It's that easy!



[h3]INTERACTIVE SCUM MAP by Jazi
[/h3]



If you need help getting around the island, finding POI's, nearby police stations and other locations useful for TEC9 prisoners, the Interactive SCUM map is your go-to tool! Quickly find exact coordinates of villages, known spawn points for vehicles and building materials - you name it, the map has it! You can also find several other useful tools and information on this website, which makes it a must-visit for all prospective and current player alike!



[h3]CAMO PATTERN CREATOR by JayW
[/h3]



Customizing your favorite boom stick is a deeply personal process and no one wants to botch its look by applying colors that don't match. The camo pattern creator is a simple, yet very useful tool that will help you avoid this problem from the get-go and help players make an informed decision on which color schemes to apply on their weapons.



[h3]SCUM ADMIN HELPER
[/h3]



Once the SCUM admin helper, server owners, admins and single player afficionados released a sigh of relief as this useful tool greatly helps with spawning items that they need in their games for a variety of reasons. It also provides a handy and user - friendly way to see what kind of items are available in the game, which items are paired with one another (like types of ammo and specific weapons, which is helpful for those less versed in caliber sizes)...the list goes on!


___

These fan-made tools are a testament of the sheer passion our community has for the game and it gives us the motivation and drive to continue working on the game and making it as awesome as it can be. While we don't have much to share on the development of the game this week, we'll make sure to brief you with something new next time you'll hear from us. Until then, enjoy your summer and see you on the island!

Usually, the hotfix would be over right about now but this isn't your typical hotfix. We have an announcement and a little something special for you guys so, keep reading below!


A lot of you have been requesting this for some time now and it's finally here! Official solo/duo servers!
For those who want to play as a lone wolf or team up with a single buddy they trust with their life, your wishes came true! These server act identical to official servers, meaning EVERYTHING is the same EXCEPT squad limiting. On "Solo/Duo servers", you can have only 1 squad member with you. On "Solo" servers, it's just you and The Island.

Here is a list of available solo/duo servers with their IP's:

SCUM Server Official #1 - Europe Solo/Duo
178.63.46.178:7062

SCUM Server Official #1 - Europe Solo
178.63.46.178:7082

SCUM Server Official #1 - US Central Solo/Duo
72.9.154.64:7042

SCUM Server Official 1 - US Central Solo
72.9.154.64:7062




We neglected to mention a couple of very important thing about the "Weapon skins DLC" and the "Weapon charms DLC". Unfortunately, that part was miscommunicated and we apologize for the confusion. Here goes:

Supporter pack 1 owners will receive -> 1 weapon skin pattern & 1 weapon charm (wire pattern and the BCU weapon charm)
Supporter pack 2 owners will receive -> 1 weapon skin pattern (psychedelic pattern)

IMPORTANT

If you don't own any of the supporter packs or DLCs, not to worry!
The "Solid color" paintjob (for every color of spray paint you can find) is available for FREE to everyone, so you can apply it to your guns and enjoy!

NO SUPPORTER PACK/ NO DLC OPTIONS FOR WEAPON SKINS

You can find ANY color of spray paint and paint your weapon in that specific solid color, as shown in the pictures below:



SUPPORTER PACK 1 OPTIONS FOR WEAPON SKINS

In addition to painting your weapon in a solid color, you can add the WIRE pattern to your paintjob also,
as shown in the pictures below:


Don't forget about the cool BCU weapon charm you also get with supporter pack 1


SUPPORTER PACK 2 OPTIONS FOR WEAPON SKINS

In addition to painting your weapon in a solid color, you can add the PSYCHEDELIC pattern to your paintjob also, as shown in the pictures below:



Once again, a mistake on our side for miscommunicating that part. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience.

Survival sandbox Scum makes all its men "Smokin' Hot" in today's 0.9 update

Multiplayer survival sandbox Scum has dropped its 0.9 Smokin’ Hot update today to add more of the expected guns, monsters, and balance tweaks. But the update’s called Smokin’ Hot because it makes all the guys in the game, well, smokin’ hot - if you're into men with a Gears Of War workout routine, that is. Following the revamped female character models last year, developer Gamepires continue their early access tour with a refresh for every male character in the game which may or may not include a touch up for the Danny Trejo DLC skin. Take a look at the new beefcakes and beefy mutants below.
