SCUM Weapon Damage: Every Gun and Round | Ribbon Gaming

Ribbon Gaming › SCUM wiki › Weapons and damage

Weapons and damage

Damage in SCUM belongs to the round, not to the gun, so two rifles chambered for the same cartridge do the same wound, and what decides a fight is what is in the magazine. A bow is the exception: every bow shoots the same arrows, and the game's own tip is that the heavier bow delivers more powerful shots. The two Blackhawk crossbows send their bolt 4.6 and 5.6 times its own speed. The hardest hitting is the M82A1 at 400 per shot with .50 BMG.

Every SCUM magazine and the guns it goes in

Most magazines go in one weapon and nothing else. 29 of them in all, and the biggest is the M249 Ammobox at 100 rounds. The M16 Magazine is the one that travels furthest: it goes in M16A4, M16A4 Apocalypso, M249, MK18, SCAR-L. Which gun takes which is worked out from what each weapon will actually accept, not from the names, so the shared ones show up rather than being guessed at.

Why a SCUM gun jams, and how to clear it

A firearm in good condition cannot jam at all. Below a figure the weapon sets for itself the chance starts climbing, and at scrap condition it is 6 shots in 100 for almost every one of them - the HS-9's round not loaded is the one that reaches 10. Three separate things wear out and any of them can stop you: the gun, the magazine and the rounds. There are 6 kinds of jam: Bad Round, which the condition of the bullet brings on; Stovepipe, which the condition of the weapon brings on; Round Not Loaded, which the condition of the magazine brings on; Double Feed, which the condition of the weapon brings on; Stuck Bullet, which the condition of the bullet brings on; Partially Ejected Clip, which the condition of the weapon brings on.

When it happens, press Reload to bring up the wheel and 1 to 4 to pick the fix. If you cannot tell which jam you have, choose Bad round - it clears any of them where the option is offered - and watch what comes up next, because clearing one can leave you with another. Repair a firearm with a weapon cleaning kit, or take a toolbox to a second gun of the same model and repair it with the parts. Bows and attachments take a toolbox instead. Below 20% condition a repair only reaches 50%.

SCUM suppressors: how much quieter each one is

Every can states how much of the shot still gets out, and they are a long way apart: the Hunter Suppressor leaves 15% and the M82 QDL Suppressor leaves 70%. Lower is quieter. A suppressor changes nothing about what the round does to whoever it hits - the damage belongs to the cartridge - and the improvised cans quieten about as well as a mid-range factory one while wearing out an order of magnitude faster.
