Details for the next update for the popular multiplayer survival game SCUM have been revealed! Developers Gamepires and publisher Jagex have shared the details for the v0.9 update, nicknamed Smokin’ Hot, which include an overhaul for the male character models, alongside dangerous new enemies, a brand-new weapon type, and some significant changes to the game’s skills and attributes.

The danger within increases as there are two monstrous enemies that can now be found in the bunkers. The hulking Brenner, equipped with a scorching flamethrower; and the nimble Razor, who’ll close in on players and cut them down with knife-like limbs.

Alongside the addition of Brenner and Razor, bunkers have been overhauled to allow players to increase their Intelligence attribute for the first time. New puzzle mechanics found within the bunkers allow players to gather important data, which can then be traded in for an Intelligence increase at the Doctor. The Intelligence attribute is more important than ever, too, now influencing the experience (XP) gain on all player skills.

SCUM is available now on PC via Steam’s Early Access. For a short time, they are hosting a sale on the game and it’s DLCs to celebrate the latest update!
