Stealth and Evasion Tactics — SCUM Guide

Master SCUM stealth and evasion: use crouch/prone, line of sight, sound management, nighttime, and distractions to avoid detection.

Stealth is often more effective than direct confrontation, especially against multiple puppets or armed players.

• Crouch/Prone: Significantly reduces your visibility and noise.
• Line of Sight: Use terrain, buildings, and foliage for cover. Break line of sight to lose pursuers.
• Sound: Movement speed, weapon type, and even your clothing affect noise levels. Avoid running on hard surfaces.
• Nighttime: Use the cover of darkness to your advantage, but be aware of other players doing the same. A flashlight can give you away.
• Distractions: Throwing rocks or shooting a distant object can divert puppet attention.
• Puppet Pathing: Learn common puppet patrol routes and avoid them.

Improving your Stealth skill further enhances these abilities. Evasion is key when outnumbered or outgunned.
