Advanced Tips
The less skill you have at something, the more fame you will get by doing it. example if you have NoSkill on survival you will get more fame for crafting stuff than if you had advanced survival
The difference between Advanced rifles and medium rifles is huge, i highly recomend you put advanced rifles.
- By having NoSkill pistols you get more fame by shooting at robots with pistols.
- By putting Con on 5.0 you get more Health – HP.
Endurance is way easier to level up thats why i put running on advanced, also endurance helps with the weight and gives your character more stamina overall but you also need to spend more time sitting to get that extra stamina so it doesnt really help.
You really need stealth in scum, the element of surprise is a huge advantage so i highly recomend you put advanced stealth, as for driving if you are solo dont put points in it, since you need to lockpick if you wanna raid bases. if you are in a group someone will be the driver and someone the robber.
Visibility in games is more limited than most players realize. Even with low awareness skill, you won’t be able to spot an enemy at 200 meters if they’re using full camouflage and lying prone. However, it’s worth considering whether you’d notice them anyway, even if they were properly rendered on screen. On the positive side, when you use your scope, you can see enemies up to 400 meters away, so having a lower awareness skill isn’t a major disadvantage in most situations.
Camouflage and snipping synergise really well with each other since you will be prawning most of the time while sniping, you shouldnt put camouflage on advanced its kinda of an overkill and sniping advanced doesnt make that huge difference.
You MUST put survival on NoSkill, the first 20 minutes you will be chopping down trees, in 20 minutes you will have more than 150 fame and your survival skill will be at basic already.
This needs an update because some crucial skills have been added eg. engineering
