Character Builds
What character should you make?
Well, this all depends on if you are playing solo, or with squad/group. It does not matter what you pick to be honest, but if you want to dominate the leaderboards, I will recommend playing with others. However, it is possible to do this solo. (If you are good enough)
Once you have decided what you are doing, I have a list of characters for solo and non-solo players here.

The thing about this game is that you can play however you like. So me giving you these builds are only what I can recommend. I am not saying you shouldn't copy these builds as I have done a lot of research to help you all out. However, be free to use these as a guide, or you may copy these.

Quick note - On the first page of creating your character, the skill attributes are not how many skill points you can spend. For example, if you set your character Strength to 3, you will be able to spend 6 points on any of the options.
Also, make sure your penis/breast size is 1.0. This will increases your intelligence. (Do this to all builds)


Amount of points needed to reach a certain level:
Basic skill level = 1 point
Medium skill level = 3 points
Advanced skill level = 6 points

My recommended solo build:

Advanced rifles are a lot better than medium, and I mean ALOT better. The extra 3 points are 100% worth it.

Having your running on advanced makes you move faster; it is useful for many things like getting in and out of high looted areas that are guarded by Mechs. Quick tip, endurance is more comfortable to level up than running. Having Con at 5.0 gives you more health. (HP)

Stealth is essential in scum. I use to put this up to advanced but, I figured it is best to grind to the advanced level. Furthermore, I put my level to medium as it is still an essential requirement within the game. This allows you to begin to acquire the things you need to survive successfully. (I cover this later on in the course)

This next one might catch some people by surprise, and the driving level is set to medium. Some players say if you play solo, leave it on no skill, but I disagree. To me, I feel you might need to make a quick getaway, and you don't want to stall and make yourself an easy target. Also, just getting around the map is faster; only, all in all, driving is a handy skill.
Thievery is set to medium, although if you like to lock pick/raid, then change this to advanced and set driving to no skill. (Lock picking guide later in this guide)

Awareness is not as important as some people think. In my eyes, you should be more aware of yourself.
Snipping is on to basic mainly because of how big the map is. Being able to defend and attack a base with a snipper is very affected.
Camouflage again is basic snipping, and camo works well together.
Survival I have left blank because you can craft things early on in the game to get more fame points than to say you would if it was on a higher level. (More detail about fame points later on in this guide)
Engineering medium because you don't want people to break into your base with ease.

My recommended PVP build:
This build is for people who purely want to PVP.


Now for non-solo players...
Coming soon

Useful data about how creating your character works:
Weapons
What is the best weapon?
This question is a hard one, as there is number of different weapons for different situations.
To explain this I will one by one of different types of situations that will happen when playing PVP and PVE.

Best weapons against zombies?
Shotguns are close range weapons and extremely powerful up close. You can pretty much one shot every zombie, if you aim for the head. Meaning that you will be saving quite a amount of ammo.

So you may be asking to yourself what shotgun is the best? To answer that, we will have a look at this chart that shoes the damage of each shotgun.

0 stars, snipping should be "sniping"

Is "Snipping" a SCUM specific meme like bitcoin's "HODLing" or are you just orthographically challenged?
