SCUM is Gamepires' ultra-realistic survival game, set on a prison-island reality-TV deathmatch — with body metabolism, nutrition, skill decay, crafting, vehicles, and 64-player PvP. Released in Early Access in 2018 and still receiving regular content drops, SCUM rewards communities that build around its ruleset: PvE servers, RP servers, strict-PvP wipe servers, and everything in between.
SCUM dedicated servers support up to 64 players with a deep admin toolset: whitelist, bans, teleport, spawn control, weather control, and full logging. Our template surfaces these as form fields. Steam Workshop modding isn't a thing for SCUM (Gamepires doesn't expose official mod hooks), but server config covers extensive gameplay tuning — loot rates, fame points, raid schedules, character limits.
SCUM is CPU-hungry: dozens of NPC puppets, zombie AI, animal AI, and vehicle physics all ticking server-side. Our Ryzen 9 nodes keep 64-player PvP stable. 16 GB RAM is our recommendation for 64-player servers; smaller communities (20 players) run comfortably at 8 GB.
