Just started playing Scum for the first time today. I have 20k hours in Ark so I know my way around survival games but Scum certainly has a steep learning curve for a noob. Decided i needed some words of wisdom from an experienced player on RUclips and I think I lucked out finding this brilliantly produced New Players guide. Many thanks Luthais
@silverpandaws6230 ngl, I never got into it once when it was big. Now looking at the game so glad I didn't spend an hour on it. But I got 2k hours in other survival games soooooo. I mean, PZ is phenomenal
You would have had to play ark for 7 hours 50 minutes a day, every single day since release, to have 20k hours by now, and your comment was 6 months ago... either you need a life or are lying
NO matter how long I've played or how many videos I've watched of your I ALWAYS seem to learn something new or some small detail I missed before with each video. Thanks for all you do in the SCUM community!
Thanks for the tutorial! I came from 7 Days and figured out how to make a knife and axe head, but couldn't hold both and couldn't figure out how to craft anything beyond that. After a few hours I got frustrated and quit. Thanks to you making this video, I can have another go at it, and hopefully make it further. Not much for multiplayer, definitely not PVP.
very interesting! Im used to the UI of Dayz & it took me some time to get used to it. I've had this downloaded, but never really gave it a good go dispite it looking like the perfect survival game it worries me about all the buttons it takes to be able to play well... Watching this gives me hope however. Very well paced, voiced is nice & clear, to the point. Keep it up man! You've made a sub outta me!
Being a fan of the CROTEAM games I bought SCUM when it first came about, but, I failed miserably and got disappointed. Now I have watched this and I deliberately searched for a tutorial after all these years, I am ready to have another go. Being retired means I have a lot more time on my hand to get to grip with it. Cheers. On to episode 2.
What it looks like is they finally giving us what they said they would 2 years ago when puppets opened doors/entered windows 2 years ago for the whole half a weekend it was implemented on live. Same bugs though and if the hot fix today don't correct it then, sorry not sorry, wack. If it the hot fix does correct it plus the comical puppet spawn/despawn then, sorry not sorry, good job. Periodt
You have to look at the durability of the items you use when crafting something. Use the clothes that you start with for rags instead of puppet clothing
Great tutorials no feedback to you personally but some for the developers; Toilets no longer work as toilets, same goes for fridges, some toilets show up as fridges :D improvised bow stabilizer does not craft ( disappears after crafting… great game!
So 3-3-3-3 is the best starting setup mate? I see many people suggests like 4-3-1-4 or 5-2-1-5 since agility level up quickly and STR and INT seems to be the hardest ones to lvl up. Thank you for the great videos!
It gives you 4 440 000 Skill Points from the start so changing any of those numbers wastes a lot of skill points that you can get for free. Taking any skill at medium is a waste because you can get there in game easily
@@Luthais thank you a lot for the explanation! Also, in previous videos you opted to put adv stealth instaed of thievery, you think it is still a valid option or no more?
I stopped playing scum for a bit than felt like playing again... A solder broke open a door and floored me... That there was like a Terminator robot in the bunker in another run... Things have changed in this game...
Do feathered arrows with either stone or metal tips make any difference or not cause dont usually see scum youtubers make arrows like that mainly the wooden ones with no bird feathers or scrap metal tips or stone
Stone and metal arrows do more damage but also take more materials. Feathers can be hit and miss to find enough to make sufficient number of arrows. Also, archery levels up quicker with wooden arrows as you have more overall hits than other arrows.
The new Zombie dynamics are stupid and unrealistic.....Z's jumping on roofs, through windows and breaking down doors wtf? The Devs are making this game so unenjoyable for solo's imo. As soon as you trigger a horde in any town, unless you are looted up there's simply very little escape! You end up having to sneak around every town and its so painfully slow to loot that it becomes boring. There was so much they could have done- Like boats, rafts, other vehicles. This update could be the end for me!
So its difficult for you to run away about a 100m as soon as you trigger a Horde ( so as soon as you hear the horde sound ) and come back 2 mins later when they are gone

Stay tuned brother. Ill show you everything and there is a lot.
I have also moved to scum from Ark, after playing over 18k hours on ark it’s time for a change 😂
Idk how you fools can play that soul sucking game ark for that long. I think I had over 1k hours into it and I just couldn't go on.

The last time I played Scum was 3 years ago. I felt completely lost when I came back on it yesterday. Very good guide, thank you my friend !
We should play together, I'm fixing to get it again
Glad I could help
I was in my late 40's when I first tried it. Failed terribly lol. I am ready for another shot too.
Thank you, I can't wait for the next video. I was just watching the old guides but I love it when a creator listens to his viewers and adapts
Love this shorter style video. Easier to watch while im doing chores. Thanks for continuing to be an awesome content creator!!
My pleasure bud. Wanted to make it 20 mins but future lessons will take at least 30 mins but at least it doesn’t feel long
NO matter how long I've played or how many videos I've watched of your I ALWAYS seem to learn something new or some small detail I missed before with each video. Thanks for all you do in the SCUM community!
My pleasure ;]

Im glad I could help. Be patient. After 7000 hours I still learn new things.
Thanks for this! Ive been giving single player a go for a few hours and i was struggling at first when respawning 😂
Im glad I could help. The more you know about Scum the easier it gets and then you have way more fun.
very interesting! Im used to the UI of Dayz & it took me some time to get used to it.

Very happy to have earned your sub. I have a lot of experience and will keep making guides
you earn a subscriber my friend keep up the good work!!
I will thank you
Thx m8! Fun to watch and I have learned something.
Thinking about slowly starting SCUM now, coming from DayZ and want to start something new!
Nice happy to hear that

Glad you hanging in there
Thank you I just started scum in your server and I have been enjoying it. Happy new year
Happy new year!
I haven't played in over 2 years... looksvlike the game is really progressing nicely
What it looks like is they finally giving us what they said they would 2 years ago when puppets opened doors/entered windows 2 years ago for the whole half a weekend it was implemented on live. Same bugs though and if the hot fix today don't correct it then, sorry not sorry, wack. If it the hot fix does correct it plus the comical puppet spawn/despawn then, sorry not sorry, good job. Periodt
Yes it is
Thx for the tips i just buy the game like 3 day ago ! There are a lot of mechanics involved and there are a lot of things to learn :D
Glad I could help
Thanks Luthais refreshing the catalogue of knowledge share love that you show how to go wrong crafting too;)
My pleasure bud. We will make the best base ever 😁
This is a very good video, I bought the game and got frustrated with the UI and trying to loot. Seems like I needed to do more crafting instead.
Me too… it’s like nothing I’ve ever played before and nothing makes sense
@@Inkinred hahaha, I feel you. Also, the UX is terrible, they need to rethink it at some point
I built a quiver but one of the grids is red so I cannot add arrows. I don't know what is going on.
You have to look at the durability of the items you use when crafting something. Use the clothes that you start with for rags instead of puppet clothing
Did a drinking game. Every time you said ok I took a shot. Stupid drunk 3 mins in... :D
Ok ;]
Been waiting for this since the update dropped
Great tutorials no feedback to you personally but some for the developers;
Toilets no longer work as toilets, same goes for fridges, some toilets show up as fridges :D improvised bow stabilizer does not craft ( disappears after crafting… great game!
Thank you for doing this! subscribed
Thank you for your support 👍🏻
Thank Luther’s your awesome buddy
You too ;]
This game is really fun, I’m surprised it’s not as popular as Day Z
Leke meneer het Baie geleer dankie
Wish I could thank the devs for an awesome game and keeps making it better. Wish they would implement foot prints and barrel smoke
That would be cool for tracking players. Prob for server performance
Any specific reason on why to craft the 20# bow and not the 35# one?
Great job thanks 👍
Any time ;]

after spending 3.3 hours wandering around brainless, i now have a better view and how to do things.
Im happy to hear that ; ]
I stopped playing scum for a bit than felt like playing again... A solder broke open a door and floored me... That there was like a Terminator robot in the bunker in another run... Things have changed in this game...
Yes and they keep changing
hey bro does the loot in bunkers and cities respawn after being looted
If no one is in the area for 30 mins yes
just started playing this game love your guides sub from me thankyou 👍👍
My pleasure
What are your servers?
Just type Luth in server search and you will see all of them.
@@Luthais hey man why did you ban me off your server? I got shot by some random and next thing I know I got banned when I logged back in.
You can craft the quiver from human skin now.
Yes and puppet skin again
this game is so hard, even playing alone
Do feathered arrows with either stone or metal tips make any difference or not cause dont usually see scum youtubers make arrows like that mainly the wooden ones with no bird feathers or scrap metal tips or stone
Stone and metal arrows do more damage but also take more materials. Feathers can be hit and miss to find enough to make sufficient number of arrows. Also, archery levels up quicker with wooden arrows as you have more overall hits than other arrows.
Yes they do make a difference but I usually skip stone tipped arrows and go straight for metal.
Starter Card acquisition = you need to reroll son.
Wdym?
Yo I am new to scum and love pve can I play in ur server sometime?
Just search Luthias on the server list, and you will see all his servers.
All my servers are open to everyone except the True Immersion server
❤❤
Press single play button :)
Okay
The new Zombie dynamics are stupid and unrealistic.....Z's jumping on roofs, through windows and breaking down doors wtf?
The Devs are making this game so unenjoyable for solo's imo. As soon as you trigger a horde in any town, unless you are looted up there's simply very little escape!

So its difficult for you to run away about a 100m as soon as you trigger a Horde ( so as soon as you hear the horde sound ) and come back 2 mins later when they are gone
They changed it it’s only 4 small sticks to make a rope
Still 5. Maybe it depends of Skill Level
Your survival and engineering still determines the anmount of resources you need
what about now-july 2024
Still applies
wodr
7000 hours ?!
Yes
You are a life saver 🫡
