PSA: A look at locations of new points of interest.

In this weeks patch you'll get 3 new locations, we aren't spoiling what they are.

BUT the important part is that if you have a base in this areas, remove all your items, gear, vehicles from them as you wont be able to access them after the patch!

New locations are marked with a red circle.

Community Showcase, QA and Comic page #22

Hello everyone, happy Friday!

I know what you all wanna know. Where patch? Patch when? well as said in Development update next week we have a bigger one planned so no patch this week.

How is the progress on the patch?



Pretty good as you can see.

Well since there is no patch, I don't want you all to be sad so have some sweet community showcase and a fan favorite Q&A. Let's not forget the comic as well.

Here we go!



Watch your speed limit round here friend.

The iron throne? Pffffft

Some say you can still hear singing till this day.

Ok,ok,ok,ok! Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea! Abort!

*Record Scratch* *Freeze Frame* "Yup, thats me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation"

What he means is the base is in Early Access.

Moments before some random cowboy starts screaming.
Sippy: Let me chime in for a moment.


God mode or not, that is impressive.

Huh, maybe it is patch day.

Didn't know we added nukes in the game, but hey at least ours work.

And one more extra: Shot out to Dye for making these hilarious videos on SCUM development. Good work ma dude. Make sure to check him out!

Time for some Q&A, there were alot of responses on our latest post so I threw in some extra.

  • It is already planned and in the works.


  • We see you bro. Cheers!


  • Fair enough, 25fps sounds like a problem. But for us to solve your problem we need to know the root of the problem. Now there are 2 possible "roots".

    1. Our game is terrible in optimizations (3.6 not too good not too bad)
    2. Well, your hardware. We kinda need to know on what you play. Example: you play on a integrated GPU and get 25 fps on high/medium? Ill say that's hella awesome, if you get that on a 1080, that's an issue. So when you guys feel like screaming at us for optimizations (we totally have no problems with that) but please let us know your hardware so we know what we are working with here.


  • Yep, more content is on its way. PvE will get its love as soon as we manage to bring the game to a state that can handle it. First we need to finish the planned core mechanics and assets then optimize all of it.


  • No


  • Yes! We are working on it so keep an eye out.


  • The answer is more a PSA: Do not spawn prisoners through commands. They are here for testing purposes only and mess with your game heavily.


  • We will write it down, but can't promise anything on a "when".


  • Good news. Spanish is already supported! Go to your Steam library and right click on SCUM. Go to properties and select the language tab. Then choose your preferred language.


  • As in their ping is over 9000? We are working on a new system that should release the load on the server and help with optimization and desync issues.


  • Yeap. Fuel and refueling are planned issues so prepare everyone! The US military is coming to SCUM island!


  • Aloe vera unfortunately died 2 days ago.


  • Sorry. Gamepires only drinks Lepi Decki brewery.


  • Yes. The legend says the more antennas you have the more your neighbors envy you.


  • Well the island is abandoned. If you mean aesthetically, look up how cities look in Croatia. The answer might surprise you!


  • Rale is already cursing around the office and grabbing his head, so yeah I believe it will sound great.




It is Friday, funday and you know what that means! That is right! New comic page, as is tradition.

Here is an awesome video from OG420 describing SCUM before the Maneater update!!




Oh boy oh boy, we didn't do this one in some time.

There is a good reason behind that. You remember my Aloe Vera that was at the vet from last update? Not sure what it has to do with that but he is a sneaky fellow so you never know.

ANYWAY lets get into some sweet sweet things we have in the works for you!



  • Not much to say here, enjoy the screenshots!!





















  • I promise you this tractor will be in the game and I'll make sure you can do awesome things with it.





  • And a dirt bike so you can do fancy jumps No idea if you will be able to do fancy jumps







  • Here you can see, well I'll let your imagination do the work.





  • Sitting and laying animations are being done, with it you can rest up to gain stamina and health faster!

    This is me on patch day





  • This will be a new location, and you can check the real life replica here





  • A look at one of our new locations, this was also replicated from a real landmark. Find out which one!















  • We are doing some work on our UI to have a better overview of your underwater endeavours, and just how long can you keep your breath!

    • Also you will have a visual indication on the lungs on the little guy in left down corner!




Whooo my favorite part, and let me tell you guys, we have some gems this time!

  • But those updates are my job. :(


  • Wrote it down and forwarded to the crew! Good idea!


  • No worries, we are planning to add much more PVE/SP stuff soon!




  • Go commando or go home!




  • No official support...yet. But in the meantime you can check this thread on reddit. It might help you out!


  • Mate, you should take your dog to the vet, just to be sure the dog is okay.


  • Same, same. But the dude above really needs to do it.


  • Hear NMS got some nice updates, hope you're having fun!


  • Obliged!


  • Okay okay okay here you go:

And this is it for today! Also a quick update, no patch this week because of a legit reason. The reason is that dates matter so check what date it is!

Have an awesome rest of the day, and enjoy some sunshine if you can!

Community showcase, QA SCUM Comic #21

Good Friday everyone!

No patch this week due to many reasons. One is that I had to take my Aloe Vera to the vet, crazy life I'm telling you.

But let's show some awesome things you guys created!



This has a Rocky feeling to it, cant wait to see how he will sled down the stairs.



Damn, base build fighting cages that you can build? Would you like that?



We all know those movies when the underdog comes into the ring and wins?



The movies are wrong this is how it really would end.



No funny, cringy message here. I think its just zen.



It's gonna be just a flesh wound they said, do it for the camera they said.



I vote that every time the drone comes close to you it tells you something wholesome.



I think they are so close to finding out those are just cats.



Lol, get John Wicked.




This is just simply awesome, shout out to Non Official for this work!





My favourite part, where we take some question and answer them...SCUM style



  • As soon as Jesus returns we will look into it.




  • Yes.




  • If you have a group of 20 people and they are searching together they should have more items, as they are 20 people. Balance doesn't mean you have to be equal to 20 people.




  • I'll try this on Monday if I get fired it's on you.




  • Nope, we don't have crocs here. But we also don't have wipes that delete everything you worked hard...wait a minute...

    Yea we could look into adding crocs f it.




  • Gonna look into it but always remember.




  • Hey hey, we don't judge or kink shame here. Let the people play with their grenades as they want.




  • You need to be aware that we are sending the patch to thousands of servers worldwide. And some places like Taiwan, Brazil etc.. take longer times. But ofc gportal and we are always working to deploy it as fast as possible.


We have bad puns? Where is my ban hammer.
