The Developers Finally Brought It Back ... SCUM Update 0.96v (Weapon Malfunctions)

[@headshots989]

low durability boolets = bad round low durability gun = stove pipe low durability mag = failure to feed combo of low durability = double feed/failure to extract (2nd bad round) repair your guns and repair your mags too with a tool box and avoid using low durability ammo if you can

[@Bura8225]

Nice! Weapon jams are back and squads lost their personal radar system. Big steps to right direction.

[@GamingCentralGC]

Yeah no more floating manes above team mates, I really like that change as well.

[@thepackable]

Personal radar?

[@GamingCentralGC]

Seeing their team mates names floating around, kind of like dots on a radar. Without it it's gonna be a bit harder to tell who's who.

[@BeefyBacardi]

@@Bura8225 Names above teammates is a server setting. So some servers might still have it.

[@BeefyBacardi]

Keep your stuff above 80%, you'll be fine. If your gun jams and you're in doubt, the double-feed fix fixes all (removes the mag, clears the chamber, and loads the mag again), but it takes the longest.

[@GamingCentralGC]

Yeah we are definitely going to have to keep our weapons in good-ish shape from now on.

[@AndyDufresne86]

Thats sadly not the case anymore as we´ve seen yesterday. The jamming is still in the bugged-out state like it was before they removed the function because to this reason. U can double-feed fix whatever u want, it happened lot of times the weapon stayed unusable, regardless of its state. So Gamepires didnt fix anything, they just brought it back in that unacceptable condition.

[@Zinedamzy]

This and all the other stuff will finally have a big impact on PVE & PVP ! Also that you can’t see the names of your teammates, it will be so good. The movement Re-Work is so nice and makes it finally realistic again !

[@GamingCentralGC]

I 100% agree, really happy with the movement changes as well. But I have a feeling that the movement will be changed up even more or adjusted better said.

[@Zinedamzy]

@ they will keep adjusting for sure. But it’s finally realistic than before. 100%

[@oynlengeymer2434]

@@Zinedamzy Sadly a lot of the bunny hoppers will be screaming in the forums that its a change no one asked for etc and often, devs seem to revert things of mostly revert, The vocal minority often get their way

[@Zinedamzy]

@@oynlengeymer2434 Hey They can cry as much as they want, if the game is supposed to be realistic then nothing much will change. (Movement) It could be that adjustments are made, for example to the stamina etc. but the general movement will not change much, I can´t imagine that the Devs will roll back to bunny jumping or running with heavy weight like Flash Gordon even the hill up. It is more than unrealistic. I can't imagine that it will be changed again just because most people, and usually they are PVP players, will cry about it. There are so many other very very good PVP games, in SCUM PVP is just a side addition that simply makes the game adventure more interesting in everyday life and many people don't understand that.

[@necromicor6533]

I love that devs now doing their steps to realism. I was waiting for a movement rework for years, and now I can finally play on PvP and enjoy it, because bunnyhop and ADADAD lovers now losing their advantage of using not good netcode. I can hit those guys if they had a good ping as well as me, and server performance were good too. But when they just teleporting back and forth, then flying to sky, then also ADADADADs, I with shitty pistol I finally found in police station can't do just ANYTHING to them.

[@SuperSkrullz]

Also the player movement rework will be a big impact on the player.... have to be very careful with the stamina...no more bunny hops 😊

[@GamingCentralGC]

Absolutely, gotta keep an eye on stamina for sure after this update.

This game keeps improving

[@GamingCentralGC]

Yeah some really nice things were brought with this update. I wonder where things will take us with 1.0v.Thank you for checking out the video.

[@immatoll4375]

Love the game, but I personally think the current devs waste their time. Focusing on unnecessary stuff mostly related to remove/add 3d assets (like the chopper or new/old weapons), but then delivering the worst implementation of a quest/mission system. The game needed dynamic events/missions like deadside so people fight over pois and loot. Not fetch quests for every item in the game (oh yeah 150 quests) that creates infinite money and more hoarding. I‘m glad the game actually survived after all that trouble in the past. I‘m sorry for the devs loosing the support of croteam (serious Sam devs) in 2020 and publisher change in 2023, but they should stop adding content and add mod support so community can fix the game. This would also help the team to survive and keep working on scum.

[@AndiKoehn]

Now I only wish they wouldn't degrade so fast.

[@GamingCentralGC]

Hopefully the degradation rate won't be all that fast.

[@headthfc]

My mates and I used to love playing Scum. The exploration, looting and base building were second to none but the server latency was so bad it was game breaking in pvp battles so we stopped. This was a couple of years ago, is it a much smoother experience now? EU servers btw.

[@GamingCentralGC]

I play on EU servers as well, we can still see a bit of lag when the server reaches max capacity or at least we did, we'll see how things are after this new update will be pushed to the main branch of the game. But in my experience when the player population reached high 50s to 60 players we will tend to see some issues. At least on Officials.

[@thomast5659]

I've had the pleasure to shoot an AK version (in this Real Life game forced upon all of us) once and after a few magazines through it it started to jam. It stovepiped a few times and even managed to stovepipe AND doublefeed at the same time somehow. Or maybe it was just my 'competence' handling this beauty. 🤷‍♂ EDIT: Typo

[@GamingCentralGC]

Oh wow that's quite a few "malfunctions". Was it new or a really used one? I've never blasted a weapon IRL so I don't really know much about how they work in the Real Life Game.

[@All_Dead_In_Shimoda]

Question ... If your weapon is under 50% and you use the cleaning kit, does it only repair up to 50% ? But if you repair the weapon with parts it can be repaired to 100% ? ... Is that right?

[@GamingCentralGC]

Both the Weapon Cleaning Kits and the Weapon Parts can fix up our guns to 100% no matter the durability, even if it's under 50% we can still bring it up to 100%. That is of course if we have enough uses in the cleaning kit or enough parts as well. At least that is the case on this test branch that I am playing right now.

[@All_Dead_In_Shimoda]

​@@GamingCentralGCcheers

[@acidgravy1]

I don‘t know the exact percentage, but I think if it‘s below 35/30 you can only repair it up to 50%

[@GamingCentralGC]

@@acidgravy1 I think that's no longer the case, at least on this test branch, I had a weapon at 20% and with a cleaning kit it went up to 100%. But we'll have to see for sure when the update fully releases.

the game wont be a w till they sort out the god awful gun mechanics / movement

[@GamingCentralGC]

They did make some changes to the movement system with this latest 0.96 Update. We'' see how the community /players respond to them.
