How to Join Your SCUM Server

If you’re ready to dive into SCUM with friends or your community, this guide will walk you through the exact steps to connect to your SCUM server hosted with GGServers.

✅ Important: SCUM uses a +2 port offset. That means if your server shows port 7010, players should connect using 7012.

🎮 Method 1: Direct Connect (Recommended)

This is the most reliable way to join your SCUM server.

1. Launch SCUM from your Steam Library.
2. Click “Multiplay” from the main menu.
3. On the left-hand side, enter your server’s IP and the port +2.
   • Example: If your server IP is 192.168.1.100:7010, you should enter:
     192.168.1.100:7012
4. Press Enter to connect.
5. Create your character.
6. You are in!

✅ This method bypasses the sometimes-unreliable in-game browser and connects you directly to your server.

🧭 Method 2: Server Browser

You can also try locating your server through the in-game list.

1. Open SCUM.
2. Click “Play”, then choose “Multiplayer”.
3. In the search bar, type your server’s name.
4. If your server appears, select it and click “Join”.
5. If your server is password protected, enter the password to continue.

⚠️ Note: It may take a while for new servers to appear in the list. If it doesn’t show up, use the Direct Connect method above.
