Movement / Character Tips and Secrets

You can Control your crouch hight to make yourself less visable/vulnerable

• By pressing Control + Mouse Scroll Wheel to move your character up and down between standing and crouching and anything in between!

You Keep Overdosing on Medicines and Don’t Know Why?

• Well the simple answer is you should simply make sure you are full/have eaten before you take any medicine or drugs will give you a overdose debuff (Is that even the proper way to refer to that in this situation?) because they can’t metabolise properly without food in your system.

Oh No! I Ate Something Bad/Took To Much Medicine!

Hidden Controls / Tips With Snipers!

You Can Adjust Your Zeroing With Your Scope

• By pushing Shift + Mouse Wheel while aiming down sites/scope!

You Can Adjust Your Windage On Your Scope Aswell!

(Not Sure if it’s Needed yet But it’s Pretty Spiffy to Play With!)

• By Pushing Shift + Alt + Mouse Wheel you can adjust to compensate for the wind! (When it’s added well I havent had to use it at all yet).

Finally, Range Finding AH! I hear You asking, Screaming and Pleading! Well, Whats The Point Of Zeroing or Setting The Windage if I Don’t Know the Range of My Target or Which Way The Wind is Blowing!?

• Well first I must tell you to calm down! By just ever so gently tapping the Ctrl button while aiming down sights will intitiate the range finding feature built in as a standard in all scopes in SCUM! Now you can know the Pressure, Tempature, Humidity, Wind, and Range in between you and your target!

You Can Hold Your Breath to Stabilize Your Aim!

• By holding the Ctrl button you can stabilize your aim to take those really long shots!

Sniping Without Zeroing Scope (My Preferred Method!)

This image shows my scope view and where my bullet will land if I fire. The tree is 263 meters away. My scope has markings (ticks) that represent 100-meter intervals, with the scope zeroed at 100 meters. This means the first tick is 100 meters, second tick is 200 meters, and third tick is 300 meters.

Since the tree is at 263 meters, I need to aim 63% of the way between the 200-meter tick and the 300-meter tick (a little over halfway down) to hit my target accurately. This method works when your scope is zeroed at 100 meters. If you zero at different distances, the measurements change.

If I wanted to hit the same area while using zeroing, I would typically round up to 300 meters and aim slightly low. You generally don’t need to worry about zeroing unless you’re shooting beyond 500 meters. I can provide a guide for long-distance shooting and zeroing without a rangefinder if there’s interest.
