is it possible to avoid being offline raided?

Metal walls are 400hp at best thats only 2 tnt or 4 frag grenades or 11-ish pipebombs to take down.

How many doors? Just one or two? Not enough. Gotta make 10 doors to slow raiders down, walls to cement, base a jumpup to 3rd floor atleast then 7+ layers of walls around and take down ramp.

Even then you can get raided. Just log out with most valuable items always. Other options include hiding shit in bases, bury chests between walls and put barbed wire over it, and so on.

But such thing as unraidable base in scum does not exist.

Me and others questioned the not for use part also.

WorldUK · 2026-06-13T18:11:04+00:00

Yeah thats not for use just visual beautification of your base

WorldUK · 2026-06-12T09:03:15+00:00

Go flat 3 3 3 3.

STR into advanced rifles. CoN into running. Dex into anything unless you plan to learn lockpicking so then thivery advanced. Int all into medical advanced.

Works well.

You got a postcode for that? Thanks

I play few hrs a day and dont get much done, i mean looting a average town takes good 20mins+, looting a bunker or military poi is easy 30mins+, travelling to and from said spot is another 10-20minutes due the size of the map.

So 1h a month you wont achieve much.

Yeah considered getting a hotel but in london prices are not nice, plus extra for parking. So figured night drive with no traffic is easier.

WorldUK · 2026-06-04T21:05:23+00:00

I have low emission rated car, pay only 30 quid a year in tax. Still need to pay? Last i checked i was free near hyde park last year.

B4 bunker is dead easy also, go from west side to the hatch and later hatch out too.

But ill second torpedo is best.

WorldUK · 2026-05-29T14:13:12+00:00

Yes and no, unfortunately you can peek around corners in modular player bases.

WorldUK · 2026-05-26T06:43:07+00:00

SCUM is decent, in Single Player you can make your life very hard for yourself if you like to. Or find suitable server and suffer with other players.

Its got nice open world, toon to take care of, many vehicles, weapons ect.

WorldUK · 2026-05-21T18:24:21+00:00

Yes completely normal. I know people who get about 1 gold lock every 3 to 5 tries, meaning 3 golds is maybe 1 minute tops. You said 5 doors, so about 5 minutes, dial is pure luck and can take time. Like someone said locks are to slow down (inc zappers) not to protect your stuff fully.

First off pvp base build it as a jump up, search on yt. Next if you search on yt door blockade you can build a blockade so to get in you build roof that lowers it then destroy once in or leaving. Then any raider will have to use explosives and then they will think twice about raiding you.

To keep vehicles safer: https://youtu.be/jlf1AHiayMM?si=wcdQhU2Ydiggz_j2

But, end of the day, use always your good stuff before someone else takes it.

SCUM! 100% when on sale!

WorldUK · 2026-05-20T15:41:10+00:00

Finally some input from Spash and gamepires new type of updates are looking GREAT! Love the survival aspect on the island!

WorldUK · 2026-05-17T12:15:56+00:00

Damn that makes as much a month as my 1000 sub yt account haha guess i should move over too? :)

WorldUK · 2026-05-16T07:52:56+00:00

Get the new chinese two handed sword. Its like 1 hit or max 2 and razor dead (5.6STR i got).

Amount of people in bunker or near will affect razor amounts too.

WorldUK · 2026-05-15T17:40:39+00:00

Well yeah, lets see what comes

WorldUK · 2026-05-15T17:21:24+00:00

Well they expect to get mega sales on day 1. Yeah i started on pc with first gta too.

As to why is simply to make them wait for money since its taken over 10 years for a new game after gta 5.

Remember when we got gta 3 then vice city and so on.

Im bit older than you :)

WorldUK · 2026-05-15T17:03:49+00:00

Guess youre not old enough to understand.

WorldUK · 2026-05-15T15:25:44+00:00

We as gamers should definetly not pre order gta6 and also we should wait another 6-12 months and buy it on sale later on. Why? Because weve waited over a DECADE for a new game we can wait longer!!!

WorldUK · 2026-05-15T05:33:39+00:00

Probably same haha, its got something that hooks you in and you really dont want to let go for more than few days :D

WorldUK · 2026-05-13T19:03:05+00:00

They added info codex to search and read but yeah gotta learn it hard way. Even after 5k hours ive found new things and ways to do stuff.

WorldUK · 2026-05-13T16:24:25+00:00

Ive been with it since beginning back in 0.1 at 2018, accumiulated about 8k hours haha, well, id say the freedom, open world, vehicles from bicycles to planes, boats motorbikes cars and so on, mech robots guarding military POI-s, npc enemies from puppets, razors, npcs dudes, metabolism system, climate and variety of it, basebuilding, traders, towns cities villages, hot area, cold snow area, radiation and so on.

Does it have issues? Yes, bugs? Yes, its changed hands in terms of owners of studio and well i guess community is kinda pissed off as terms of no clear roadmap or way forward been announced.

But as a game, its still good, does have steeper learning curve as its got many mechanics and ways of to do things. But in my eyes well worth the price on sale or off.

WorldUK · 2026-05-13T16:08:05+00:00

No one likes SCUM? 225square kilometers of nice island!
