Ribbon Gaming SCUM Wiki: Damage, Raiding, Items and Maps

Ribbon Gaming SCUM wiki

Why this wiki exists

Most SCUM guides are out of date, or written for one server and wrong on the next. We kept answering the same questions in our own Discord and could not point anybody at a straight answer, so we wrote one. If a page here says a wall takes four charges, that is what the game does.

Who is behind it

Ribbon Gaming, a SCUM server that has been running since 2 March 2022 with players on it around the clock, admins who answer daily, and an English, Russian and Lithuanian community. The wiki costs nothing, needs no account, and is about the game rather than about us.

Our partners

Want to explore the SCUM community? Go check out SCUM Central, the best place for players, server owners, partnered communities, and content creators to come together. SCUM Central is working hard to bring the entire community together and show off what everyone has to offer. At SCUM Central, anyone is welcome. We hope to see you there!

Who it is for

Anyone who plays SCUM, on any server. Wall health, puppet health, bullet drop and how long a crop takes to grow are the game’s own and do not change from one server to the next. Our prices and our loot rates are ours, and they stay on the server pages where they belong.

Where every number comes from

Nothing here is remembered or copied out of a patch note. The figures are read straight from SCUM’s own files, so when the game changes one the page changes with it. And where the files state nothing, or two figures that disagree, the page leaves the number out rather than guessing.

How to use it

Every page starts with the short version and then the detail. Weapons, vehicles and puppets can be turned around in 3D, and the calculators work with your own numbers: pick a wall and see how many charges it takes, pick a rifle and a range and see the drop. Missing something? Tell us on Discord.
