Are you afraid of fire in SCUM? If not, you should be! Patch 0.8.530.70162 introduced a new mechanic that will burn you to death if you get too close to fire for long periods.
Going through fire or burning ground will now damage your character in SCUM. The wounds that you'll get depend on the temperature of the heat source, as well as your length of exposure.
If not treated properly, you will experience the following:
- C1 (First-degree burns): Reduced DEX stat.
- C2 (Second-degree burns): Reduced DEX stat, weakness.
- C3 (Third-degree burns): Reduced DEX stat, weakness, dizziness.
So, how exactly do you treat burns? Burn Gel is also added and it's specifically meant for treating burnt skin. There's one lootable, but you can also craft some. When you suffer from burns, immediately apply the Burn Gel to the affected area to stabilize wounds quicker.
Another major change in this update is that you can now strip your vehicle down to its bare minimum, and each part now takes individual damage. If the car door gets damaged, for example, you can strip that off and the vehicle would still be usable.
