April patch is officially live! (1.2.3.0.113582)<\/a><\/h3>
23.4.2026 14:00<\/div>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Hey there prisoners,<\/p>

<\/p>

We've just released our second monthly patch! Let's not beat around the bush and let's dive right into it. We hope you'll enjoy what we've prepared for you! <\/p>

<\/p>

THE BIG ONES<\/div>

<\/p>

THE TRENCH GUN<\/div>

<\/p>

The terrifying and notorious Trench Gun is making a grand appearance in SCUM. Historically, this weapon of war was so devastating that there was an attempt to ban it, as it was argued that it brings unnecessary harm and damage to those unlucky enough to survive its blast. Famous for its slam-fire that allows those who wield it to dispatch their enemies with insane efficiency, it is the ideal weapon for those that want to solve their disputes from up close. To put it simply - it's the last thing you want to see someone carrying in close quarters.<\/p>

<\/p>

THE SKS<\/div>

<\/p>

Hailed as the people\u2019s carbine before it was substituted by the ever-popular AK47, the SKS was one of the testaments to Soviet capability to produce reliable and versatile weaponry. The SKS is a rifle for true aficionados of firearms - durable, built with quality materials, and above all - deadly! Those who want a reliable mid-range, semi-automatic firearm, as well as a penchant for Soviet-era weaponry, will find the SKS a no-brainer!<\/p>

<\/p>

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING OVERHAUL<\/div>

For version 1.0, we developed our own technology to achieve realistic indoor lighting affordably. Now, we are upgrading that same tech to boost realism across the entire island. The biggest change is in the ambiance, where we\u2019ve improved ambient occlusion and reflections. Even though UE4 lacks Lumen, we\u2019ve managed to make all models look \"grounded\" with accurate colors and environmental reflections, technically without any performance hit.<\/p>

With these changes, we also made the bunkers darker and narrowed the light beam of flashlights to create a more frightening and claustrophobic atmosphere.<\/p>

<\/p>

For those that haven't seen, here are some before and after screenshots, with the first being before the lighting overhaul, and the second being after it:<\/p>

If the screenshots aren't enough for you, we've also created a video showcasing these lighting improvements so make sure to check it out:<\/p>

When we're on the topic of lighting, we've also improved the look of night vision to make it look less 'milky'. Here are the before and after images:

PICK UP ALL \/ DROP ALL<\/div>

A continuation of the inventory rework that we first introduced at the end of last year, we have introduced a more streamlined and user-friendly way to manipulate and move items between the player, the vicinity, and the loot containers.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

For instance, you find a bunch of different items lying on the floor near you. Looks like a classic trap, but you are hungry and desperate, and you hope that you\u2019ll find some food. Now, instead of manually looking through all the items and picking them up one by one, you can sort out only the food items and then simply press a button to pick them all up. It\u2019s that simple. Two mouse clicks instead of tens of them or more. Less time out in the open and exposed for someone else to claim your stuff.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

As we have stated in the announcement for the patch, the option to either pick up all or drop all also works for lootable containers, meaning that with a single press of a button you can either store everything in your inventory or drop everything into your vicinity.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Naturally, the question arises whether this also extends to chests and clothing items, or in other words, basically all containers that are not examine containers. Currently, this is a work in progress and we weren't able to implement it for this patch because we ran into some performance issues, meaning that the time is not yet right for this, but we\u2019ll make sure to add those in the future.<\/p>

<\/p>

STACKING FOOD ITEMS AND INGREDIENTS<\/div>

Also a continuation of the aforementioned inventory rework, use stacking has now been expanded to cooking items and ingredients! Have one 2\/10 and one 5\/10 flour? Now you can combine it into one single 7\/10 item! While that doesn\u2019t sound exciting at face value, those that want to keep things tidy, organized, and easier to handle know how big of a deal this change is.Also, this same change applies to canned food items as well!<\/p>

<\/p>

Also, you can now stack cooking ingredients directly from the cooking UI! Just add your partially used ingredients and they will stack in the recipe immediately!<\/p>

Because of this change, we have also implemented a system where the eating action is driven by the eating animation, meaning that there is no more uncertainty whether less or more uses of the food item have been consumed. Instead, when your character takes a bite, this means that a single use of the food has been consumed.<\/p>

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES<\/div>
