# SCUM - Patch 0.8.530.70162

**Hello all, happy Wednesday! Break your middle of the week with an update! New damage system, a step forward in the modular vehicles department, and more. Check it out!**

## Burn Damage

We teased it a bit and it's here. In addition to the metabolism system and another thing you will need to be careful of. You can now get burn damage. So do not expect you can pull stuff like this anymore!

Depending on the heat source temperature and the length of your exposure to it, you will get burn wounds accordingly. These wounds can also spread quickly so if you are not careful, you are in deep trouble.

So as with other types of wounds, there are different types of severity and symptoms you will experience if not treated properly.

* C1 (First-degree burns) - Reduced DEX stat.
* C2 (Second-degree burns) - Reduced DEX stat, weakness.
* C3 (Third-degree burns) - Reduced DEX stat, weakness, dizziness.

But don't worry friends, we would not give you another thing you have to worry about without the means to treat it.

Introducing burn gel. There are 2: one lootable and one craftable. When you have a burn injury make sure to apply the gel so your wounds get into stabilization quicker.

Oh also since we added burn injuries now, we can activate one of the weapons on the new sentry, good luck!

A huge leap forward on the modular vehicles front. The modular vehicle damage is now complete. Yep, it is finally here and it is huge news. Needless to say that you can no longer drive your car off the cliff and it would be fine, but the vehicles now have more removable parts since more of them can now take individual damage.

You can now strip your vehicles bare and still drive them around if you want that cool breeze in your hair or want to have that apocalyptical feel to your vehicle. Just keep in mind no door no lock.

So be careful with your car right now and keep an eye out for extra parts. Another huge thing that this update brings, is one step closer to bringing all the old vehicles back. But more on that in the future.

Oh and yes you can yet again run over puppets or other players, rejoice!

## New Items

So we added a couple of new items as well. Here is what you can find, or better to say craft.

### Glass shiv

Yep, it is a prison island after all. And every good prison needs a couple of shiv options. Got some extra glass lying around and no knife options? Well, now you do.

### Medium battery charger

Supposed to release on the previous patch but unfortunately was not ready then. But it is now, so here you go, you have another battery charger available for crafting.
