SCUM v0.8 update patch notes

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a happy holiday. But now we are back with some celebrations of another holiday and some fixes for you all. So wait no further the new update is here.

Welcome to the year of the Rabbit. To celebrate, we’ve added a ton of new items inspired by Chinese culture. Clothes, weapons, we have it all. So get ready to live out your John Woo fantasies. But we get it, fashion is secondary, and lethality is primary.
