First things to do when you spawn
Step
The moment you load in, resist the urge to run straight into the facility. Take a few seconds to get your bearings, confirm what you are carrying, and study the rooms closest to you before pushing deeper.
- Open your inventory check what weapons and items you have equipped before you move anywhere.
- Explore nearby rooms first work outward gradually rather than charging into unknown areas.
- Watch SCPs from a distance observe how they move and patrol before you get close enough to trigger them.
Fighting and avoiding SCPs
Tips
The facility holds multiple different SCPs, and they do not all behave the same way. Some are safer to engage at range, while others can be pressured up close. Rushing in without reading the situation is the fastest way to die.
- Never pull more than one SCP at a time if you can help it — fighting two at once almost always ends badly.
- Watch the timing of each SCP's attack before you swing back — a well-timed counter opens up much safer windows.
- Use different weapons for different situations when your loadout allows it.
The leveling system
Summary
Every time you defeat enemies or escape the facility, your character earns experience that pushes you toward the next level. Higher levels unlock better health and attack power, which then opens up the tougher sections of the map. There is no paywall blocking progression, so patience and repetition are your main tools.
- Experience source defeating SCPs and completing escapes both add to your total.
- Level reward health and attack stats climb with each new level.
- Gate higher-difficulty areas require you to reach a certain level before they become manageable.
Escaping the facility
Step
Killing SCPs is not the win condition; getting out is. Keep the exit in the back of your mind from the moment you spawn, and plan your route around reaching it rather than clearing every enemy along the way.
- Search methodically comb each area of the map carefully and memorize where exit routes appear.
- Avoid, don't always fight when a corridor is packed with SCPs, look for a way around instead of forcing a fight.
- Watch for time limits some areas put a clock on you, so don't spend too long looting when escape is close.
