How to Prepare for the Hordes and New AI Mechanics in Scum 0.95

[@ivyfoo502]

Thanks for the tips, looking forward to the update even more now.

[@Luthais]

Me too

[@Bob.Jenkins]

Puppets can jump onto any single story building roof if it has a small outbuilding or railing - however, if it's a row of houses and one of them is a single story they can jump from side building or railing to the single story roof and then to a two story building roof, not often, but it's something to be aware of. Puppets may also use any other object that gains them height; Garden Fences, Waste Bins, Nearby Walls, Seats, Log Piles, Benches and, of course, each other! The important thing is - don't relax too much... because you might not be as safe as you think!

[@Luthais]

Thanks for the tips bud ;]

[@Oni1975]

Great tips, my man! Thanks for this, will have to implement these techniques.

[@Luthais]

Will help you a lot

[@MattMeatbag]

Awesome tips as usual 👀👍🏻thanks Luthais 🤗

[@Luthais]

[@ronan1223]

You got your left rights wrong 😂😂

[@dilldoe8036]

imagine xD

[@Luthais]

Lol. Yes I realize that now

[@hartley9958]

The issue i have with the game right now is the puppet respawn in buildings if you clean out a town it should stay cleaned out unless some walk in from outside...

[@Luthais]

I feel that got worse

[@igorbida1562]

And sometimes they spawn right next to you, lol

[@nomesobrenome1062]

Luth, glass bottles make a lot of noise too. I use them to gather puppets and farm fame with a compound bow It seems cans make same noise as rocks. The bottles and frypans make almost the same noise, maybe there is other noise itens in the game

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

Good knowledge!!!

[@Luthais]

Thanks for the tips bud ;]

[@NightNurse3711]

The left right got me😅

[@connorC6]

I like the rock method because it reminds me of your miscreated server where you up the zombies to do more damage and the brute in miscreated on your server will 1 shot you so it was real dangerous looting a town so you had to improvise and use rocks

[@mrwpg]

Can also jump into deep water, they like to walk off the pier at the fish factory as standard...

[@thiagoclauter2683]

Your game looks so nice and neat, any possible way that you could share your settings? I having a hard time to setup my graphics

[@Luthais]

Just come into one of my streams and ill share it with you

[@GoonerAccount]

great stuff per usual!

[@Luthais]

Thanks. Glad you found it helpful

[@nutztierchen4482]

I died more often from drowning than from puppets. So no way i'll ever try that water Trick. 😅

[@Luthais]

Lol. You only drown because of your gear. Drop everything and then float. Go back a few times and place gear on dry land and youll be fine

[@nutztierchen4482]

@@Luthais way too scared of the water :D

[@macakborbeni1142]

Thank you for your awesome work that you are doing for he community. I know that u are not Santa but i have idea/request for the video after the update. It would be nice to make the video about graphics settings optimal for seeing people on low/mid range machines. Thank you in advance !

[@Luthais]

Will see what I can do. Will be very busy with the update

[@macakborbeni1142]

​@@LuthaisThank you for even considering it. I play on low end machine for 5-6 years now (I7 3770k - bottlenecking my RX 5700xt) I lockpick, demo, with 40fps :( on lowest settings possible and my PVP is decent. I tried to find a good guide about settings that influence cpu/gpu usage ... I think that there are a lot of people in my position because lets be honest game is bad optimized .. so a comprehensive graphic settings option video(like the best you are doing) would be amazing at some point. Thank you !

[@NEXIS981]

I think i will try the following: If i see a horde in distance, i set an improvised mine on the ground and arm it. Then i go away and throw a can near to the mine. 😅 Will maybe funny, like flesh into a ventilator 😂

[@Luthais]

Thats expensive to deal with a few puppets lol

[@ianwauters1659]

Brilliant!

[@masklessninja]

Can’t wait for the more advanced AI :)

[@Realassmf]

yeah that left right shit needs to be removed they got to be able to hit you if your that close, would like to see some grabbing Mechanic

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

@@Realassmf NO ANIMATIONS!!! :_: I played Dead Island. No thx.

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

But i agree, f that Bob n weave stuff. Unless we get some 'Dodge' skill or mellee-training-guy or a "Dojo" at outposts im not taking Z's seriously.

[@johnwicks4936]

Scum videos are always more entertaining then the game itself. I hope that changes one day.

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

... i regrettably could not agree more. Until then, hey! Enjoy the shennanigans lol

[@Luthais]

If the video are more entertaining then the game then your not focusing on the right things. If you just want to PVP like my son then yes a survival game wont give you what you need most of the time but there are servers that remove the survival element and use bot shops or you can play on battle royal servers.

[@johnwicks4936]

@@Luthais I don’t PVP at all! Gave up on that years ago. I’ve been waiting years for this game to provide the solo content it promised. All they do is re-do past work over and over, The game has become a chore now. I enjoy your content though :). Cheers!

[@janovmi2]

do mines work with pupets ? i remmebr that they didnt but idk if it was changed

[@Luthais]

Not anymore

[@AndyRides2]

Will the puppets be able to open locked doors/base gates with locks ect. ?

[@Luthais]

No

[@calid.]

Best intro ever lol

[@Luthais]

If I got my lefts and rights correct lol

[@solitaregames]

Do the bush people. Do the bush. That is how I managed to survive several times in the Meat Grinder. And jumping to the closest river. If they can open doors and jump through windows now, its going to be hard to grind archery skills.

[@Luthais]

They cant attack what they cant see or cant hear

[@Filippenzen413]

Open doors??😬

[@solitaregames]

@@Filippenzen413 "they" as puppets; can open doors now.

[@niaralosusa]

...this will be great if they fix the fact that puppets can glitch through walls and floors. I've almost died many times when a single puppet phased through walls/floors into an enclosed space while I was working in my inventory. Climbing through windows and opening doors is cool, but I can't imagine if dozens of them from a horde are glitching through the walls of a base, for example.

[@Luthais]

Im afraid you right on that one

[@stahl8553]

so...do i go left or right ?

[@Luthais]

First left then right then right again....... Wait which way is right lol

[@andrej4930]

Yo Luth. You got early access?

[@Luthais]

If they have a creator event yes but it will only be 2 days and ill be streaming it

[@dbg4462]

And what happens with our bases? Can get destroy our doors?

[@Luthais]

No.

[@GAHD-f3z]

What is the name of the server please?

[@Luthais]

Just type Luthais in server search and you will see all of my servers

[@BrendonBinko]

hahaha you went left and said right, went right and said left multiple times. That was funny.

[@Luthais]

Yip only realized it from the comments lol

[@Swervin64]

14:13 The most American thing you've ever said lol

[@Luthais]

LMAO. Ok I get you

[@heckytomatoes7628]

Left, left, right 😂

[@dustysmoke4996]

To the left, left, left right left!

[@Luthais]

Lmao. That was funny

[@ivarssuhanovs7637]

Hi! Do puppets still ignore the noise of a firework?

[@Bob.Jenkins]

Yes

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

Great. LMAO

[@Luthais]

Yes lol and radios

[@DARK6IIX]

Friends, why aren't there so many zombies in the server for me? Is the problem with my server or are there so many zombie mods?

[@Luthais]

Its custom settings

[@mikefadeaway8056]

Makin another left turn!!! 😅

[@Luthais]

Lol. Wasn't right lol

[@Master-Wanderer]

The puppets can be 1m away and not see you in a bush yet if youre not in a bush and theres one blocking their line of sight they can see you through that??? That makes no sense whatsoever... Scum is in dire need of a puppet rework before they go ahead and add hordes and their ability to open doors and climb through windows.. This game suffers from too many legacy issues that they refuse to fix(because they dont know how to and wont admit it)... there are problems that are 5 years old and have been brought to their attention 5 years ago! and they have responded in steam discussions that they will address them and they still havent....(puppets still phasing through solid objects anyone? or missing inventory(magazines disappearing when you clearly have inventory slots available.... or pump action shotguns reload animation interruption still occuring when you need to sprint to cover after you shoot or to avoid getting hit thus having to pump another shell in to the chamber and then fire and by that time its too late youre either dead or youre getting stun locked by a puppet thats rushed you.... or WORSE guns shooting completely through puppets and not even registering when they get too close? sometimes weapons wont even fire. and theyre not jammed..theyre jsut plain bugged out) but HEY they will add crop duster planes and Danny Trejo to the game to divert our attention from the games glaring problems.......

[@maloiik]

omg you absolutely summarized the state of the game. i don't think i like these devs any more after experiencing all of those bugs several times in my 400hrs of playtime so far

[@maloiik]

and let's not forget how the planes are all kinds of bugged atm, and the hugely counter-intuitive measures you need to take in order to move them around while on the ground

[@elJaviFlores]

​@@maloiikits called early access, the game will improve over time lol

[@Ispy10101]

I've got 566 hours played and I have hardly ever encountered any bugs... The only one I can remember experiencing lately is sometimes items disappear. Allot of what you mention could be server performance issues

[@maloiik]

@@elJaviFlores they are letting these bugs stay there for far too long without aknowledgement, I'm with you in hoping they do get fixed, but we'll all have to wait and see. Gotta place 0 faith in game developers nowadays until they actually deliver, imo this game is staying a buggy mess forever unless they start caring SOON instead of giving lame excuses

[@dyllie7123]

okay

[@OnlyUseMeBIades]

Bet you didn’t think making this video, you would absolutely hate the update 😂,

[@Luthais]

I liked the update but didn't like how broken it became

[@BargoEnigmas]

And for all new guys, you spawn in with nothing, maybe after 100h of gameplay you will find a shitty gun, 50% one,then after 200h u will find the mag and bullet, then after another 100 hours u will learn how to load the gun, then u will fire 1 shoot and die from zombies attacking you, God luck.

[@battlefieldP4Fbeta]

Not wrong.. Gotta plan to survive.

[@danielhowe3516]

Lol. If it takes this long, scum might not be the game for those people. It's not that hard.

[@MonochromeChromosome]

One must be really bad to spend that much time for these game milestones:)

[@Luthais]

Not on my servers bud

[@BargoEnigmas]

@@Luthais Is 0,95 live yet?

[@jayrosario3849]

Why call em puppets, they are zombies

[@Luthais]

The game calls them puppets because of the BCU implants

[@tylerlamb4108]

that window and door thing is gonna kill the game for me i fear...

[@Luthais]

There will be servers that turn it off and you can turn it off in single player

[@grumpydave7329]

That Bleeding over every injury needs to stop. Losing 4-6 bandages to stop bleeding because of a sprained ankle is pretty lame. The metabolism needs to be fixed.

[@SouthSeaFriedRice]

Not sure if you're using bandages on C1 injuries as well but just fyi C1 injuries heal automatically. You don't need to use any medical supplies on C1 injuries unless it's an infection.

[@grumpydave7329]

Even if it says I'm bleeding?@@SouthSeaFriedRice Edit... I called my brother, and he says yes... I can completely ignore C1 injuries even if they are bleeding. Fck me I wish i knew that 2 weeks ago when I started playing again lol TY Kind Human!

[@SouthSeaFriedRice]

@@grumpydave7329 Lol np, lots of hidden info in the game.

[@Rantny-9mm]

I stopped playing this game long ago because of the puppets... they are just too overwhelmimg for me to enjoy the game. They run too fast jump too high ..and keep resapwning after you kill them. To me its just dumb that zombies can run and jump so fast.

[@ismaelhernandez951]

Not all zombies run fast. Only certain types.

[@vornamenachname4232]

For me it feels not immersive for them to respawn so fast, but that is just how it is on a online server if you play pve single player you can set their respawn time and the zombie amount in the server settings. If you play Pvp there are probably servers with no or only a few puppets. Also only the small puppets can catch you while running if you are not fully packed the fat ones wont.

[@ItsOnlySTU]

"left" goes right "right" goes left lol
