Hey hey everyone! Surprise! You might be wondering how come there is a lack of regular updates? Well a big majority of the team is working on all the goodies needed for 1.0.

SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Squad Probation
We also have another setting up and running. We've been aware of the misuse of alt accounts and multiple squads to circumvent some of the balancing features. To combat this we have implemented squad probation setting. Leaving a squad will now not go without penalties.
When leaving and then rejoining squad you will be placed under probation. While in probation you will not be able to:Create a new squad.Access squad based assets such as locked chests.Your membership will not count towards squad perks such as increased BB element count.
If a squad members are all in probation and leader leaves, the squad will be disbanded.
Settings located under [Features]scum.SquadMemberCountLimitForPunishment=2Sets the maximum number of squad mates for which prisoners leaving the squad will not receive any penalties.
scum.RTSquadProbationDuration=1.000000Sets the number of real time days for which squad probation will last.
scum.SquadMoneyPenaltyPerPrevSquadMember=0Sets the money penalty prisoner will have to pay per squad member in his previous squad in order to create or join a new squad.
scum.SquadFamePointsPenaltyPerPrevSquadMember=10Sets the fame points penalty prisoner will have to lose per squad member in his previous squad in order to create or join a new squad.
Settings also available on ingame settings menu.
For all settings that influence currency, you can choose whether the price will be in cash or gold. IF you set the value to be 10 it will be 10 cash, but by setting it 10g the price will be in gold.
SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Binocular Changes
We added changes to the binoculars as well. Let us be honest here, the binocs were an item you took if you wanted to sell it maybe, since most scopes had better functionalities for scouting anyway. So we added new zoom levels and variable zoom as well. Making it more viable for those scouting runs, especially when you want to travel light.
SCUM 0.9.520 Mar 14 Update Rager Armor
Some new things for your favorite 4 wheel vehicle. The Rager can now be upgraded with not one, but 2 sets of armor!
That is right you have an option between light or heavy!
Light
Heavy
Your choice: do you wish to have light protection but with better speed and handling, or do you want to go in heavy as a brick but also with handling like a brick. (it is not that bad, bud I still wanted to make that joke)
