Finaly a SPREADSHEET! These other YTubers are just lazy or drag a video for 30min, this is amazing! Love your work! Insta Sub

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!! 😊😊 Really appreciate it!!

[@tomaswolf970]

​@@ballisticthreatcame to say the same. most scum youtube videos are a drag and you learn close to nothing. this one was informative and succint

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much@@tomaswolf970 I really appreciate the kind words!

[@Luthais]

Nice video. I will have to check but I think the temporary charges only last 30 mins and you can increase it by 30 mins but well done on all the numbers ; ]

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate it! :) I haven't tested the time, I remember I just read in the patch notes about the 1h timer and 1.5h if use 2 of the same level. Please let me know if you find it's 30mins :))

[@cloner-st5vd]

Thank you for spread sheet of xp. I had to make one myself when it came to skills but that took lots of testing and time before I could even apply it. Thank you so much for a complete spreadsheet, I couldn't even make this sheet.

[@ballisticthreat]

You're welcome! I'm glad this could be useful for you :D Thanks for watching!

[@JuniorGR7]

For schienceee!! That was helluva work. Parabens, Barristic!

[@ballisticthreat]

Scienceeeee!! :D Yes, it was, specially when I was going for the medium and advanced skills cause I could only choose a few, then create a new char xD Thanks Junior!! :D

[@FrankDawsonTV]

Fantastic video. Thank you.

[@ballisticthreat]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! :D

[@13onze]

Another awesome video dude please keep it up!!!

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! I've been away from SCUM for a while, didn't liked the last updates, and waiting on some bug fixes.

[@smarft]

I´m in love with these statistics

[@ballisticthreat]

Awesome!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the numbers :D Thanks for watching!!!

[@tsp6467]

i did not even know that was a feature ty man

[@ballisticthreat]

It's new. INT was the only stat that wasn't possible to up, or down. Now we have these options :) And it matters to skill gain.

[@sleepshot]

Great vid!!!

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!!

[@DreamReaperGaming]

Well done bro nice job

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!! :D

[@evilmonkeygaming7200]

very nice

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you :)

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

Informative video, very detailed. Do the memory modules expire or decay?

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!! So far I did not noticed a big drop in the % of the modules I found. They seem to degrade slowly, the same rate as a weapon you leave in a box, for example. The fuses on the other hand, degrade much faster. (These were observed on a private server tho, so I don't know if it is possible that they reduced or increased the degradation of items in there, compared to single player or officials)

[@user-jy5wn8hk8q]

Very good vido man

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it :D

[@bashmahs]

Now you can get zombie impersonator suit, regular zombies wont notice you if you do not attack.

[@ballisticthreat]

True! I did a killbox back when it first came out and it was like cheating haha :D

[@atomelektrostacija]

Nice video! Very informative. Just managed myself to do my first INT upgrade few days ago. Does INT upgrade increases other skill upgrade %(like STR)or only for INT branch skills? Thanks!

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much! It works on every skill. For example, the thievery I used in this video is from DEX. :)

[@g4b1tz]

Great stuff man, for science! Is this pre-bayonet nerf?

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you very much!! No, most of it was recorded last week and the final part was recorded yesterday. But I did noticed the M1 Bayonet is horrible now :(

[@otmanasker7689]

nice

[@ballisticthreat]

Thank you :D

[@FakinkWorlt]

Medium level of medicine. Advanced engineer level. The doctor's upgrade button is not active. I can’t do it myself either, the button is also not active

[@ballisticthreat]

What's your current INT level (5 is max)? And the module has all the uses filled? (for example, the gold needs 2/2 charges). Unless devs added a setting that blocks INT upgrades, I can't think of any other reason why you're not being able to upgrade your INT.

[@FakinkWorlt]

@@ballisticthreat Yes, the intelligence level is 5, I thought that it could be raised to 8 using modules. But the developers said that "Only boosts" For gold you need only 1

[@ballisticthreat]

@@FakinkWorlt I see, 5 is the max you can reach with modules. You can get to 8 only temporary with the purple ampule (+3). So if you create a character with already 5 INT you will have no benefit from any modules, just from the ampules.

[@alphawolffestudios1169]

How did you do the rifle bashing? Like what button you pressing for PC to use that bayonet

[@ballisticthreat]

It's the scroll click on my mouse

[@alphawolffestudios1169]

@@ballisticthreat custom control or default by any chance?

[@ballisticthreat]

@@alphawolffestudios1169 That's default. The only control I usually change is to set aiming to toggle instead of hold :)

[@oStreeet_]

Toop, ate hj queria saber como funciona os outros lv tirando o 1

[@ballisticthreat]

Valeu mano!! :D

[@alexprist2345]

Is it 6 game hours or irl? ...great vid btw I was waiting for som1 to make an accurate one

[@LadislavDolinka]

6 hours IRL

[@ballisticthreat]

It is IRL, like @LadislavDolinka replied :D thank you very much!!

[@alexspicer1149]

Does higher intelligence affect all things being leveled like str and dex or it only some skills

[@ballisticthreat]

Only the skills as far as I know, not the stats. But it affects the skills under other stats, like rifles being under STR for example, rifles will level up faster with high INT even tho STR itself won't level up faster with high INT, hope it makes sense. :)

[@karanindiba0114]

What button do we turn on the flashlight of the weapon? 5:48

[@ballisticthreat]

Shift + E And now it needs to have a battery inside the flashlight, it doesn't charge the flashlight anymore.

[@pallegantzhorn3742]

hey how do i find the memory modules? are they looted from the bunkers

[@ballisticthreat]

I found them in the depositories in the abandoned bunkers. Just need to power the sector they're in, then try the keypad minigame. They're not very common loot tho. So far I only found a blue one (8 charges) and a gray one (16 charges), haven't seen the purple or the yellow (gold).

[@pallegantzhorn3742]

thx gonna be alot of work@@ballisticthreat

[@devinaisaican2133]

How to upgrade your character. Simply devote over 60 hours of time to go to the bunkers

[@ballisticthreat]

Upgrading INT is the easy part. I've seen people doing in less than that, and on the server I used to play there's a guy that would sell charged modules if people wanted to upgrade their characters. CON is the worst to upgrade, you can run the entire map and will get like 0.2 or less. STR and DEX are not hard, but lot of afk time, which I don't like, devs should think about making people wanna play their game, not to set their character on automatic and go do something else.

[@devinaisaican2133]

@ballisticthreat Con is the easiest imo. Hop onto a bike you get 1.08000 per day more than double then you get doing the wheel barrow thing. Sure it's easy if your lucky and find the gold Module. But you get the Grey module 9 times out of ten. Then you gotta wait for the recharge timer which is like 7 hours. You have to do that 8 times. You gotta find a card. Highly recomend going in finding a card and then putting your 48 hr card inna stash or car. Traverse the death trap of the bunker Then risk the setting off of that alarm. You only find those modules in the depository rooms The two on the lower levels. But, You set that alarm off then in comes that unkillable zombie. Meaning you gotta leave the bunker. That in turns respawns every zombie and you gotta traverse it over again. This ofncourse is assuming that Brenner zombie doesnt lock the doors on you. That place is death As for the Con Stat Carry a rod with you and ensure you can bake bread. Get a few loaves like 7 or 8 of em and start doing laps around the map. One lap is one point. Sure it takes some time. But think of it this way Your exploring the island. This also works out your strength and dex Stat plus your not standing in one place. The dex Stat will not go up if your calorie % is over 100 you want it at about 70% for that sweet spot of 0.24000 Also ensure your not over weight. This will burn less calories for this task which again will take a while. Going up hill. Any incline is a maximum of 1.08000 for constitution Stat. Theirs 10,000 Per point. So in less than 2 hrs 43 minutes you get a point to constitution. My stats are 3.9 3.4 3.9 3.0 in that order kg 68% fat 20% Started off as 3.0 even Basically to maximize this. When you start a new server USE A BIKE Don't bother with a car until you are satisfied with you're Con stat. The zombies will leave you alone. Just ensure your not crashing into objects or trees and try to avoid going down hill. But on a bike none of your stats will ever go down. They go blue never red. Except for dex and only if your calorie intake is over 100% BTW you can paint your cars now For the price of $9.99

[@ballisticthreat]

@@devinaisaican2133 For me CON never worked, bike, walking, it was always going green, then red, then green, never constant, so I never really bother with it. For my character needs, it was never priority anyways, I always build my characters with 3/1/5/3 cause I do solo killboxes so I need thievery to waste as little screwdrivers and lockpicks as possible. For STR I only start with adv. melee, cause it's faster to recover from attacks, specially since I like to use the M16+bayonet. Some people like to go adv. archery but if you play on a server without the dot only the compound bow is useful with that skill. INT I used to go adv. engineering but since it's not required anymore I rather go basic, not worth it put adv. engineering just to have a discount on craftables/blueprints. LOL, I just saw that, well, I put that suggestion long ago on their Twitter, I can1t complain about it now, but I can't afford it atm. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate it.

[@devinaisaican2133]

@ballisticthreat Well They fixed Con Stat this update. But they ruined the fxkn bike as well, so I can't ride the bike anymore with depleted stamina. You have to stop and recharge, basically rendering the bike utterly useless. Still caps at 1.08000. I'm just going to do the wheelbarrow exploit. I assume you're aware of what that is. Also, I put all my stats into medical. Archery is meh. Always advanced, Melee. I run everywhere, and endurance is the biggest aspect of this game. I need that 3 constitution. As for loot, I couldn't be bothered to get enough of that in the weapons factory. Pistol, in particular, the HS SF19 3 mags and a sword good enough for any situation. What I need is being able to survive. I've killed fully kitted players with a stick. Best kill ever. If players approach well, know your surroundings. Doors, you can always make a cheap lock as well. Buys time at the least. What rooms have windows to jump out. What's your reaction time. A pistol may not be ideal for pvp. But a gun is a gun. If you get the drop, it doesn't matter what weapons they have it will do.

[@ballisticthreat]

@@devinaisaican2133 oof, that sucks :( the entire point of having a bicycle is that the stamina required should be lower than running around and it's faster (like IRL - specially with the mountain bike). Never bother too much with the bikes cause in the server I played they were not very common (very low spawn rates for them). Yeah, I saw some other youtubers using the wheelbarrow exploit, I just didn't used it cause when I played SCUM it was with my gf and friends so I wouldn't be AFK, or if I was in single player was to work on a video. I tried PvP in SCUM, got kills, got deaths, but it's not for me, I came from games like the old Counter Strike 1.5, then Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Battlefield 3 and 4, fast paced and chaotic where camping is very frowned upon, just the deathmatches in SCUM I like, cause we all agree on not using buildings to make it more dynamic. In all my hours of SCUM I helped more people than I killed people, that's for sure xD

[@kblskables2877]

let's talk about how shitty the programming is that you just showed in the first 10 seconds?

[@ballisticthreat]

The Razor's hitbox/clipping is very broken, I hope they fix this :/ Specially on those stairs, they love to bug there. Even saw a streamer getting the Razor pounce outside the bunker, on ground level.
