SCUM Raiding Guide: C4, Explosives and Base HP | Ribbon Gaming

Raiding and base damage

How much C4 a SCUM wall takes depends on two things at once: the upgrade tier and how long the piece is. A 5m concrete wall has 1,200 health and a 25cm wooden one has 37.5, so a guide that answers "3 C4" has picked one of thirty five walls and not said which.

Charges to destroy

Charges are ceil(health / (blast damage - explosion resistance)). Resistance is subtracted from every charge rather than scaling with them, so an explosive that does less damage than the element resists will not break it at any quantity. A concrete wall resists 375: a frag grenade at 500 gets through, a pipe bomb at 300 never will.

SCUM traps and what triggers them

16 traps, and every one of them can be defused with a cutting tool. A claymore faces a direction: it trips on anyone crossing the arc in front of it and throws its blast in a cone rather than a circle, so the ground behind it is the safe ground.

Trap	Blast	Reach	Cone	Delay	What sets it off
C4 Bomb	800	30 m	-	-	A timer you set
Claymore	800	30 m	30-80°	-	anyone in the 200° in front
Anti-personnel mine	500	20 m	-	-	Movement in a box around it
Improvised Claymore	400	20 m	30-80°	-	anyone in the 200° in front

SCUM locks and lockpicking

Picking a lock is a ring you turn until it catches. Every lock states the angle you have to turn past and how wide the place it catches is, and that second number is the difficulty: an Iron Lock gives you 0.75 of a degree to stop in and an Enforced Lock 0.2. A dial lock is guessed rather than picked - two wheels is a hundred combinations, three is a thousand.

Lock	Difficulty	Sweet spot	Time	Other way in
Dial Lock	DialLock	3 wheels	-	200 crowbar damage
Enforced Lock	Advanced	0.2 deg	2.75 s	-
Iron Lock	Basic	0.75 deg	2.75 s	-
Silver Lock	Medium	0.5 deg	2.75 s	-
World Owned Dial Lock (2 wheels)	DialLock	2 wheels	-	-
World Owned Dial Lock (3 wheels)	DialLock	3 wheels	-	-
World Owned Lock	VeryEasy	5 deg	10 s	-
World Owned Rusty Lock	Basic	0.75 deg	2.75 s	80 crowbar damage
World-Owned Enforced Lock	Advanced	0.2 deg	2.75 s	-
World-Owned Medium Lock	Medium	0.5 deg	2.75 s	-

A lock protection goes on the door next to the lock and shocks you every time you fail: Advanced Lock Protection 5.7, Basic Lock Protection 2.2, Lock Protection 10, Medium Lock Protection 3.8. Three lockpicks exist and the number is how long each lasts: Advanced Lockpick 1.3, Improvised Lockpick 0.9, Lockpick 1.1.

A door that reads Wired is not locked, it is rigged. You get 5 attempts at the wires and 10 seconds, and failing sets off a frag charge that kills at 10 m and hurts out to 15 m.

Common questions

How much C4 does it take to destroy a concrete wall in SCUM?

A 5m concrete wall has 1,200 health, and C4 planted on it takes 400 off it, so it takes 3 C4. Plant them all and they go off together.

How much health does a SCUM base wall have?

It depends on the upgrade tier and on how long the piece is. For a 5m wall: wooden wall 100, barbed wire wall 200, metal wall 400, brick wall 800, concrete wall 1,200. The same wall at 1/4m has a fraction of that, so there is no single health figure for "a wall" in SCUM.

What is the strongest explosive in SCUM?

C4 Bomb and Claymore at 800 blast damage each. Next is 675: AT4 HEAT, PG-7M and TNT. Against a wall only a planted charge counts, and there C4 is strongest: 400 a charge.

How many grenades does it take to break a wall in SCUM?

Taped to the wall with duct tape, a frag grenade takes 100 off it. For a 5m wall that is 1 for a wooden wall, 2 for a barbed wire wall, 4 for a metal wall, 8 for a brick wall, 12 for a concrete wall.
