As you venture through the puppet-filled territory of Scum, you’ll discover a wide range of loot. Some items, like metal scraps, are quite common, while others, such as a mobile phone, are rather rare. Once you get your hands on a phone, you’ll unlock a significant game mechanic.
However, finding this item isn’t easy, and even if you manage to snag one, getting it powered on takes some effort. Here’s what you need to know to handle its battery properly.
How to Obtain a Phone
A smartphone is one of those unique items in Scum that can’t be purchased at any outpost, making it even harder to find due to its low drop rate. Just like other loot in the game, you can discover smartphones by rummaging through various containers or spotting them on shelves.
The most reliable method for finding them is by defeating non-player characters (NPCs) or other players. You’re likely to come across smartphones after taking down NPCs like puppets; just check their bodies afterward. Once you’ve searched them, press Tab to view the items lying on the ground to see if a smartphone is among them. The higher its durability, the better it is for your use.
Note: A smartphone’s durability is quite impressive, so you can hold onto it for a long time, even if it’s not at full capacity.
How to Use the Phone
Unfortunately, your quest for items isn’t quite over once you find the smartphone. You still need to track down a smartphone battery, which is a thin, square-shaped brick. After acquiring the battery, drag it to your smartphone and click on the insert button.
Once the battery is in place, keep the smartphone in your quick access tab and press the designated button. This will generate a sound confirming that the device is now on. Press the button again, and the phone will be ready for use. The primary function of the smartphone is to allow you to take on quests remotely.
Tip: After you finish using the smartphone, it’s a good idea to remove the battery to prevent it from draining unnecessarily.
Depending on your level, you can take on multiple quests through this phone and add them directly to your tracker.
