Thank you dude, I've had this for along long time laying in my steam, spotted it the other day, installed, and i am lost. Running around with a shovel screaming, that's basically my game plan.

[@theurbanhermit365]

Hahaha, tbh that tactic kinda suits the mayhem of the island so keep it up, if I see a dude running bare foot screaming with a shovel in hand I’ll be sure to say hello 🤣

[@-Jakob-]

nice tutorial for absolute beginners, many others aren't patient enough to show this with such a depth of detail 👍🏻

[@theurbanhermit365]

Thanks for the kind words. Hope it helped in one way or another.

Yes can stack them in stacks of 12 so potentially 36 arrows in a military quiver 😊

Just started last week and I can’t stay alive!!😭 Thnx for the vid, this is gonna help so much

[@theurbanhermit365]

The first time I played scum I had no clue what to do haha, before you know it you’ll be Scumming it up with ease. Glad I could help in some way, there’s plenty of guides over on the channel with a new one every Sunday! Amazing profile pick btw. Love the impractical jokers 😂

[@greggfridline4260]

they have solo play in this game? Hmmm, i suck at the PVP side of games but I didn't know you could play solo. I may have to give it a try.

[@theurbanhermit365]

They do indeed ! Have fun in Solo and if you want an extra challenge then head over to a PvP server, you can also join PvE servers so you can play with some player interaction without the killing side of it 😊

[@jonathonpults-nd7lk]

With scum backing 18k Dailey players right now hopefully the game gets the support it needs. If it doesn’t already!

[@theurbanhermit365]

it really isn't spoken enough in the gaming area, its still a quite unknown title as its early access, it'll be huge by the time 1.0 come around for sure

[@jonathonpults-nd7lk]

@@theurbanhermit365 definitely is very underrated atm. I bought it when it first came out and only had 13 hours as the launch was kind of rough. But now I’ve been diving in a lot myself. 1.0 will be great hopefully

[@theurbanhermit365]

Yeah I’ve been playing for the last 4 years, tbh I took breaks throughout development but I’ve been playing since 0.8 non stop 😅 0.9 onwards will be massive for scum

[@calebjohn6811]

get ready my friend

[@theurbangamer9076]

Great guide, was thinking of buying the game in summer sale, couldnt decide between rust and scum, kinda new to this genre, i m more leaning towards scum but its got a steap learning curve, which do u recommend.

[@theurbanhermit365]

Personally I would recommend scum over most survival games but come in with the understanding that you’re a tester for this game essentially, it’s in live development so things can and do change. It’s not perfect but imo has the most to offer in the long run, for £16 it’s a steal for the base game imo also. I’ve not really played scum so can’t comment a whole deal on comparison.

[@theurbangamer9076]

@@theurbanhermit365 thanks mates, will join your discord if I purchase it

[@theurbanhermit365]

More than welcome even if you don’t. It’s for everyone on the community regardless if you play scum or not 😊 Take some time to watch a few vids, read a few reviews and forums and make a decision from there. As much as it seems there’s a big learning curve, it’s relatively easy to pick up 😊

[@wacakmazsola254]

Very useful TutVid, thank you for the help, Hermit, keep up the good work, bro!

With this being on your own private server, do you have the loot drop turned up? Noticed the puppets were dropping much more than I'm used to when I've played solo Great tutorial btw, helped me a lot since having a long break from Scum

[@theurbanhermit365]

I'm on SP so everything is vanilla when I do guides, just so its on an even playing field. Glad it helped, there is an updated series on the channel as well as plenty of other Guides for you as well. Glad I could help.

[@ChaosMoon]

Nice video man really enjoyed, I just bought scum and can’t wait to play it but when I load it up it doesn’t let me click anything sucks to be me

[@theurbanhermit365]

Run a check. So verify the game files, if that doesn’t help then double check the game requirements against your hardware. Make sure your graphic driver is up to date also. See if any of these help you 🙂

[@ChaosMoon]

@@theurbanhermit365 thanks man will try them iv ran a performance check and everything surpasses what’s needed

Yeah also, me andmy friend were strugglinf for like 5 minits just figuring out HOW TO PEE (I guess it's every scum player most important question), and when finally found it, it felt like the best of achivements lol Cheers, oh, and take that yt algorythm : )

[@theurbanhermit365]

Haha, yeah took me a while to realise when i first started playing as well, hotkeys are a great thing in scum, would advise looking through them as there are some not so well known ones, ill be going through weapons handling and more in depth medical on Sunday.

[@ToxicGamer-ui7fs]

I just got the game. I fall to my death before it loads, respawning and chute didn't open. Respawn press F but land too hard and I started hurt. Interesting game. All I want to know is how to change camera to fight in first person. I don't normally use M&k.

[@theurbanhermit365]

Hitting enter key will switch between 1st and 3rd person view. You want to check your keybinding for the chute just to make sure it’s on F. If it’s still not working I would go back to main menu and then back in again. You want to open your shoot above the trees but with enough time to slow down. Once you do it a few times you’ll get the hang of when to pull it.Hope this helps 🙂

[@ToxicGamer-ui7fs]

@@theurbanhermit365 thank you. What's better, Scum, Scum direct12, or the 3rd? My game loads slow, and I'm dead before the screen catches up. On the 2nd life I actually have a chance to press F, now. I need to learn how to map a controller because M&k (inverted camera) is hard AF for me.

[@ODST626]

Im trying to get into scum but keep running into the same problem. The moment i reveal my existence to the chat i get kicked. Its like these jerks host public servers but expect it to be private or friends only and cant be bothered to make it actually private or slap on a password. Im giving up if it happens to the next 3 servers i try to join

Dude why do you need a spear if you've got a bow already? It takes too slow to kill puppets with melee weapons

[@theurbanhermit365]

Never know when those arrows may run out, then I’m left defenceless, it’s just as a precaution till something better comes along.

[@whanethewhip]

Also a spear takes no effort to make and its good to have choices and sometimes a puppet pops up without notice and it takes much less time to poke him with a spear than to draw a bow to strike.

[@RobertBurik]

What is engineering skill good for? What are all the other skills are good for? What to aim for when setting up multiplayer characters? When dropping with the chute what should we be looking for to drop towards? ... I probably would have even more questions but i couldn't watch any longer than 10 minutes sorry. I might be more needy than others, but this amount of information is not too helpful for beginners i would say... "I set it to medium, others might set it higher" ok but WHY? I am afraid to look for other vids, if your's is considered "in depth"

[@theurbanhermit365]

This is just the basics of getting started, plenty of other vids on the channel that go through different aspects of the game, I am also in the process of making another one of these. this was one of the first I did haha.

You'll find the wells in towns, there are also blue water pumps you can drink from, most churches have a water well of some kind at it. i find it harder to get water in the Z sectors than anywhere else, you can eat cactus and aloe plants in small amount to give you water also, Snowballs you can find by searching rock piles in the snow biomes and then eating them. Search gas stations, small shops and houses in towns for bottles of water also, Hope this helps 🙂

[@Cryptorocker2000]

wow it takes insanely long to craft or shop stuff

[@theurbanhermit365]

You can get from no engineering skill to advanced in 3 hours of gameplay with 5INT If I remember correctly. You can spend skill points at the start to lvl these up a bit but survival and engineering are very easy to get up if you put a little time in. Crafting things can take a while but all depends what it is you’re crafting, arrow can take a second or two where a big backpack will take much longer. When you play and get use to the system it doesn’t seem long at all. I’ve been playing for 4 years so seems like nothing to me as I’m use to it I guess 😆

[@Cryptorocker2000]

ya but does the game actually get Fun once you get past this beginning stage? cause its just painful right now@@theurbanhermit365

[@coreypearl5506]

I don't have the patience for this game. Once you finally start to get going, something or someone will kill you, resulting in you starting all over again. The challenge seemed fun when I bought the game, but now I find it boring.

[@theurbanhermit365]

I get it, it’s not for everyone. Again depends on what sort of time you have to play game in the week etc. I played SP for a while but then went to PvP for more of a challenge so it didn’t get boring. Just the way it is with these types of games, you’ll never survive forever, especially as a solo haha
