Hunting and Fishing — SCUM Guide

Master hunting and fishing in SCUM for sustainable food. Craft bows, spears, and fishing rods. Skin animals and cook meat.

Hunting and fishing are excellent ways to secure a sustainable food source and improve your survival skills. For hunting, craft a Bow or Spear, or find a firearm. Look for deer, boars, rabbits, and birds. Stealth is crucial for getting close to animals. Once killed, use a Knife to skin and butcher them for meat, fat, and hides. Meat can be cooked over a campfire to prevent food poisoning. For fishing, craft an Improvised Fishing Rod (long stick, rope, safety pin/hook) and find bait (worms, insects). Fish in rivers, lakes, or the ocean. Different fish types offer varying nutritional values. Both activities contribute to your Survival skill.
