- After finishing up season 3 here are some of my thoughts about the game as a casual solo player. This is out of my comfortzone but i don't think you'll notice, lol 🙃 IMPORTANT: Since recording this, SCUM update 0.96 Fame Seekers was released bringing a bunch of QOL and cool stuff!

Explore, loot, craft and customise your way to dominance - or inevitable death. SCUM is a truly immersive and hyper realistic survival experience where you have total control of your progression.
You start as a prisoner on the super-max SCUM island under the watchful eye of the sinister TEC1 corporation. Roam the rolling fields, lush forests and other rugged terrains of the island, using skills, guts and cunning to survive.
Incredibly complex simulation makes every detail matter. Eat the right diet, keep your wounds free of infection or it won’t just be the physical threats that take your life. Seek to take out other players or join forces while you loot and craft your way to better gear and weaponry. Flex your creative muscles with extensive base building options and reinforcements that will make your fortress impenetrable.
The island is vast and full of ways to die, from fellow prisoners to killer mechs and sinister ‘puppets’ suspended between life and death. All you have is what you’re carrying - everything else is up to you. Inventory space is minimal. Progression will be tough.

Nice review! As a long time SCUM player, a few notes:
- When you tire of the single player experience, going on high population servers solo makes for a very compelling experience. Players are deadly and surviving amongst them is intense.
- Base building is well done and can be a very motivating goal. Bases that can survive high population servers take a lot of work and require resources from distant areas.
- Cooking and farming is deeper than it looks and the benefit is that with high-quality meals you never have to worry about exhaustion. Some servers balance this so that hunting/farming/fishing is necessary to survive.
- Public servers are different. Some make surviving a real challenge. Tougher puppets, disabled maps, expensive traders, etc. Some focus on events or role playing. Find the community you like.
- You can make a business finding, repairing and selling vehicles. You can make a business farming and selling tobacco or cannabis. You have a lot of freedom.
- When you get better at the game, hunt other players. By then you'll know where to find them.
Thanks and great notes about the game 🫡 it is a unique and in depth game for sure. The in depth mechanics might be off putting for casual players (like my self) so i kinda wanted to show off that you can get have a good time and get far in the game playing it "casually".
That said, if one were to get really into the game, with a some friends or on a high pop pvp server, the game changes and you will most def have a good time getting into all the systems.
Thanks again for the comment and i hope you enjoy the latest update 🤘
I will be jumping back on eventually
Using the scum app is the best way i found to get a good experience with the game. You can look for servers that match what you want from it. I like to join servers that are pve with pvp zones, no mechs, a discord with a discord shop ( you start with so much discord server money to buy mats,weapons and stuff. You earn so much for time paying), discord lottery ( you win prizes randomly when on the server), and a discord welcome pack ( start the game kitted out with gear and food). Makes the dying in pvp less of a blow and getting a base easier to set up. Also 9 out of 10 discord servers aren't toxic and easy to get people involved in the cod like modes you can start at anytime.
oh nice, did not even know this was a thing 🤷♂️ but that sounds awesome and i will have to check it out, thanks for the info 🫡
@@f3nn3x you can just Google " best scum servers" and pick from there, but the app let's you pick exactly what you want from the game
We have a really good server that we are trying to populate. It’s called criticalZ the map is PVE with PVP zones and rotational raid zones. There is a bot shop and building mats cost almost nothing to buy so you can build a base. Mechs are on but can be killed with 1 frag or if you get uranium and make ammo you can kill them with 1 mag. We have reworked all loot around the map. When you find a vehicle they will all have engines and to find the rest of the parts just search the wrecked cars around the map. We have written all bunkers and high loot POIs to have custom loot as well. Give it a look. We have a very good community and are looking to always have new people. No need to worry about skills because those have been increased to get new players up to speed with everyone. There is much more to explore with the server.
My issue with this game is that all those complex stats and mechanics are irrelevant and it's just fluff.
As you said after you craft the first few items, not much else to do.
Food water and shelter, the core needs are simply given to you with no work.
There is no reason to hunt, fish, farm build a base etc.
Progression is pointless.
It is a very beautiful demo for unreal engine
Yeah i can agree to a certain point for sure, it is more overwhelming than useful for casual players. But if you really want to get into it, and you are playing on a hardcore server, stuff like that starts to matter. So while i agree i can be a bit to much, it has it's place in the game and it is sorta optional to care or not 🫡
@f3nn3x it didn't overwhelm me, I actually really complex games, it extends the playthrough. I just need a reason to do things, just because they are available isn't enough to make me want to do something.
Like I'm not going to plant crops when a whole farm is right there, or build a base when I'm looking at 20 buildings I can use etc.
After over 100 hours I just felt it is a bunch of disconnected ideas that don't serve as steps toward needed progression.
The game is simply waaaay to easy.
Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Ah, yes, I see your predicament! First, you'll want to feed the seed phrase to a parrot so it can memorize it for emergencies. Then, launch your USDT into orbit using a potato cannon and a Wi-Fi extender to guide it to Binance's space station. If all else fails, duct tape your phone to a boomerang and hope it swings back with a confirmation email. Good luck 🫡
