Question 1

How do I join the Ribbon Gaming SCUM server?

Accepted Answer

Search for "RIBBON GAMING" in the SCUM in-game server browser, or connect directly to 139.28.17.146:7002. The full server name is "RIBBON GAMING - PVP/PVE - 2x/3x LOOT + MODS + EN/RU/LTU - QONZER". Joining is free - you just need SCUM on Steam. You can check the server live on this website before you join: player count, events and the island map update in real time.

Question 2

What makes Ribbon Gaming one of the best SCUM servers?

Accepted Answer

Twelve custom features on top of boosted rates: 2x global loot with 3x rotating high-loot zones, 90% of vehicles spawning drive-ready, base building at half the material cost, reduced mech patrols, NPC-guarded cargo drops and crash sites, secret bunkers and instant BCU upgrades - run by active admins since March 2022. And something few servers have: this website shows everything live - the island map with events and high-loot zones, the killfeed, leaderboards, and a personal player panel for your own character.

Question 3

Is Ribbon Gaming a PVP or PVE server?

Accepted Answer

Both, with a custom zone system. Anyone can register as a PVE player with /pvejoin and is then fully protected inside PVE zones - no lockpicking of player chests, no vehicle theft, wrong-zone flags are deleted automatically. Switching back has a 7-day cooldown. PVP raiding is limited to set windows: weekdays 17:00-00:00 and weekends 12:00-00:00 UK time.

Question 4

What are the loot multipliers on the server?

Accepted Answer

Loot spawns at 2x globally, and 3x inside three rotating high-loot zones drawn from 21 enhanced points of interest. The zones rotate every 4 hours, and the currently active ones are always visible on the live island map right here on the website - open the map and the gold circles are where the 3x loot is now. Items also decay 50% slower than vanilla SCUM, so your gear and your base last longer.

Question 5

Is the server good for new SCUM players?

Accepted Answer

Yes - several of the custom features exist exactly for that. Every respawn comes with a survival kit instead of the bare orange suit, 90% of vehicles are drive-ready so you are mobile from day one, bases cost half the usual materials, and the BCU system can max your attributes instantly instead of weeks of grinding. Active admins answer questions daily, and the community speaks English, Russian and Lithuanian.

Question 6

Can I track my SCUM character online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sign in with Steam on this website and the player panel shows your own character live: position on the island map with GPS navigation, markers you and your squad drop on it, squad chat that delivers into the game, health and injuries, inventory, vehicles, skills, deaths, a custom respawn loadout and your places on the public leaderboards. You only ever see your own data and your squad.

Question 7

Where is the server hosted and how many slots does it have?

Accepted Answer

The server runs in London, UK on dedicated hardware - AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, DDR5 memory and NVMe storage - with 128 slots. It restarts every 4 hours to stay smooth, and this website shows its live status around the clock.

Question 8

Where do I sell loot and car parts for the best price?

Accepted Answer

Two dealers pay well over the normal rate while their rotation is hot. The Pripyat Dealer in Sector C0 buys gear and weapons; the Track Mechanic in Sector Z3 buys car parts and only ever buys, never sells. Both stand on PvP ground, which is exactly why they pay more - you can be shot where you are standing. Three safe traders in Sectors A0, B4 and C2 take anything at the normal rate with no PvP inside. This website lists what each dealer is paying right now, what the same item is worth off-peak, and a countdown to the next rotation, so you can see what is worth carrying before you set off.

Question 9

How does base raiding work on Ribbon Gaming?

Accepted Answer

Bases can only be raided during raid windows: 17:00-00:00 UK time on weekdays and 12:00-00:00 UK time on weekends. Each squad gets one flag, up to 1000 base elements (600 base + 400 expansion), and flag overtake takes 24 hours. Mines are allowed in the flag area only, never on roads. If you link a Discord account in the player panel, the bot DMs you the moment somebody lockpicks your base, sets off a trap, sets off an explosion nearby or starts overtaking your flag - the alerts themselves are an in-game purchase.
