The world’s unquenchable need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as entertainment behemoth TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM. This new season moves the contest from the rugged, enclosed Alcatraz sector to the full grandure of Bagne de Cayenne, an island with a sordid history of violent incarceration. Both fan favorites and new prisoners will clash in a ruthless war of survival while battling for the support of viewers, producers, and corporate sponsors for fame, gifts, and a chance of life after death.

Players will balance base level needs with knowledge-based skills to manage everything from nourishment, metabolic rate and body mass to weapons proficiency, combat style and security systems hacking. Dominate the island with your skills, cunning and strategies to achieve higher levels of game and receive powerful gifts from corporate sponsors and, if you happen to slip up and die, get resurrected by the show’s producers with all your valuable skills still intact.

SCUM's Wild Hunter update introduces an intense series of new features catering to the prisoners' most primal urges. The update is highlighted with the introduction of basic bow and arrow skills for both hunting wild game and combat against puppets and other prisoners. Prisoners can put these new skills to use by tracking and striking new boars and goats roaming the island, and then crafting their trophies into intimidating headwear or decorative spiked heads. Slow things down around the campfire with new musical instruments to play including a banjo, guitar, and harmonica.

Though the hunting game mode and subsequent clothing/attire you can make out of each animal you kill is the ‘meat’ (pun intended) of the update, there’s also a new attribute feature we think fans will like: penis size attribution.

When customizing a character, players can now use the same valuable attribute points used to assign strength, stamina and intelligence and put them into making their penis bigger, if they so choose. Owners of the SCUM Supporters Pack get an additional but important two inches to their penis length by default. The opposite is also true: you can take points away from your penis size and assign them elsewhere. I don’t know what you plan to do with this information, but now, like me, it is stuck in your head and sadly will likely never be a category on Jeopardy.

Bows and Arrows

• The recurve bow (Right) its a basic bow that can be found through the island, and it offers bigger durability than the improvised bow.
• The improvised bow (Left) is the most basic type of bow in the game its durability is its weakest point, and it can only be crafted.
• Carbon arrow is the most durable arrow, and can only be found
• Wooden arrow can be crafted but does not offer much durability and can only be crafted.

Important note - this is the first version of the bow and arrow mechanics we will expand on it and introduce more as time passes as we upgrade the skill.

Primal Crafting

• More cool headgear so you can have matching outfits with your buddies. Goat cap and boar cap!
• Never enough Halloween decorations. Those heads on spikes send a clear message to people who wander into your camp. Also, these are crafted through the blueprint system so you can get creative with them.
• Everyone asked for a tooth necklace, so here it is. We also added an ear necklace, and both necklaces come in 3 possible variants depending on how much you like hunting.

Let it Hang!

• One of the core features that we added to the Wild Hunter is the fully nude body in character customization. Also, we added a slider for your phallus. The default size is 4 inches and you can increase its to maximum 8 or decrease it to the lowest at 1 inch. As with everything in SCUM, this attribute is connected so if you add points into length it will reduce available attribute points and if you reduce the size you will gain more attribute points to be used elsewhere.
• Also, we respect people who do not want to have such a visual experience thats why we also have a concealed mode. Owners of the SCUM Supporter Pack start with an extra 2 inches.

Musical Instruments

• You have a guitar, banjo and harmonica.
• All musical instruments can be played with keyboard starting with C note on "R" key on the keyboard when in Play Instrument mode. We can't wait to see what music the community will create with these new additions.
  
  R = C
  5 = C#
  T = D
  6 = D#
  Y = E
  U = F
  8 = F#
  I = G
  9 = G#
  O = A
  0 = A#
  P = B
  
  P.S. You can rebind them to your liking - note that when you play an instrument all functions are disabled besides moving.
  
  Here you can hear them in action!
