What does this setting do?
At 0.5 the loss is five times that of an ordinary death — half your accumulated fame. SCUM thereby makes a clear statement: being killed by another player is the most expensive way to die.
Together with the killer's reward this creates a transfer: fame moves from victim to attacker. On PvE servers, where PvP is more accident than intent, such a high value is hard to justify.
Which value suits my server?

0.1 to 0.3.

What to watch out for
Amplifies power imbalances
A strong group repeatedly killing the same players pushes their fame down permanently and strips them of respawn options too. On small servers that can drive people away.
