Gamepires has pushed a new hotfix for SCUM, labeled 1.1.0.2.99989+99754, that tackles a stack of in‑game glitches and brings back the seasonal Halloween content players have been waiting on. The update lands as a tidy midweek pick‑me‑up for servers and solo runners alike.
The list of fixes reads like the sort of clean‑up you do after a house party went sideways. Sentries that were floating in midair have been grounded, MAC 10 magazine animation and loading are now in sync, and a handful of item icons and animation bugs have been addressed. The update also corrects outposts loading too early, which was causing performance drops. It fixes several level design glitches and placement problems for base-building items like the BB oven and gas lantern lamps.
There are gameplay quality‑of‑life wounds sewn up, too. Players can no longer eat while wearing the K6‑3 helmet. Drinking from water sources through the interaction menu now works again. The hotfix also fixes cases where players could spawn in the air even when “enable spawn on the ground” was set on servers, and it resolves teleporting through walls when exiting vehicles and random paint changes on painted vehicles.
On the systems side Gamepires tweaked damage for CRAP ammo against sentries and adjusted common cold and influenza so they do not produce symptoms during incubation. Radio and boombox items will now persist in bases. The update also restores the seasonal Halloween content — Ritual, Ghost, and other Spooktober bits are back in the game. If you want a refresher on the major 1.1.0.0 update that preceded this, see our coverage of SCUM 1.1.0.0 which laid down encounter fixes, armor rework and a new disease system here.
