SCUM Melee Damage: Every Weapon and What Hits You | Ribbon Gaming

Melee and creatures

SCUM keeps melee damage in a table rather than on the weapon, so most guides quote a weapon's range as though it were its damage. These are the real figures for 110 weapons. The hardest hitting is the Sledgehammer at 160.

SCUM melee weapon damage

Whether a weapon counts as a blade or a blunt hit decides which armour figure applies to it, because a vest stops the two by different amounts.
