💡 SCUM: Unreal Engine 5 since 1.0 - dense forests make Foliage the biggest lever; very low foliage is also a PvP visibility trade-off.

At 1080p expect around 145 FPS, at 1440p about 87 FPS, and at 4K roughly 66 FPS with optimized settings. SCUM doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
