SCUM Servers Guide | Here’s How You Can Get Your Own Server

It is possible to have your own server in SCUM – all you have to do is follow the steps provided in this SCUM Servers guide. SCUM’s multiplayer option allows you to join a random server or match-make into one – this is cumbersome because you’ll have to go searching for a server if you don’t already have one.

When you join SCUM for the first time you’ll notice a single player option and a multiplayer option are already available.

When you jump into the multiplayer option, you’re yet to be able to join a random server or match-make into one, meaning you’ll have to go searching for a server if you don’t already have one.

Searching for a server can be a real pain in the a*se because it means you’ll have to go trawling through gamer groups on Facebook social media, or online through any of the media houses that may have acquired one for their own news testing.

How To Get Your Own Server In Scum

If you have a decent sized community or even a few mates who are all joining the SCUM bandwagon, it may be worthwhile investing in a server by the “RENT A SERVER“ option in multiplayer, here’s everything you need to know.

Once you hit “RENT A SERVER“ you’ll be taken to a pop-up box through steam that will give you all of the purchase information.

The server purchase allows you to choose between 20 and 64 player slots for your server at a cost of $1.20 (US) per slot, and promises your server will be online in 3 minutes, will give you Low Ping/High Performance (though those are very generic descriptions), and 24/7 support is also available. I’d be pretty confident in renting server space as it’s being hosted by g-portal.us and they are fairly reputable.

Once you click on “order now“ you’ll be taken to another screen where you actually create your server by the numbers.

We’ve worked out that the initial $1.20 per slot is for a 30-day server purchase, but as you scale up to 90 days, 180 days, or a full year, there’s a sliding scale discount incentive.

A full year will set you back $234.18 – pretty good value for your own server.

As you can see the majority of players on SCUM are coming out of China right now with every server for that region sold out. This is a really interesting find considering that games like PUBG and Fortnite that have similar characteristics had some serious issues with Chinese region players cheating the game, and already SCUM’s developers have released an anti-cheat system. Coincidence?

Anyway, it’s not a bad idea to grab yourself a server because SCUM is really taking off and you don’t want to be locked into having to join other servers when all you want to do is have a weekly session with your best mates.
