SCUM received a small patch yesterday, but it was an important one. The update is small in size and mainly focused on bug fixes while also making some QoL changes. SCUM received another patch a week ago that also brought many important changes to the game. You can read about the previous update here.
The update released today will make the player experience a lot better. You can now equip the flashlight with your sawed-off shotgun. Aiming down sights will not force you into focus mode and now you require more padlocks to craft locks. Descriptions and names of some of the items are fixed and now you can’t jump off a car running faster than 15km/h. Speaking of cars, now you can hear the sound of the radio outside the car if the windows and doors are broken. Talk about realism, huh?
