Getting your facility off the ground
Step
Your entire goal in SCP Tycoon is to build out your Foundation facility. The game saves automatically while you play normally, so your progress carries over between sessions.
- Find a land plot press its start button to begin construction on your facility.
- Unlock the Armory this lets you access weapons and sets up the backbone of your base.
- Open the Control Room work toward this alongside or just after the Armory.
- Expand into Light Containment once the core rooms are done, push into the containment zones.
- Push into Heavy Containment this is where the most dangerous SCPs are housed.
Gear and how much health it adds
TableAll gear re-equips automatically after every respawn. The maximum health you can gain from gear combined is 1,125 HP.
| Item | HP added | Walk speed change | Cost | Rebirths required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTF Uniform | +25 HP | None | $1,000 | None |
| Guard Uniform | +100 HP | None | $1,000 | None |
| Helmet | +25 HP | None | $10,000 | None |

| Juggernaut Armor | +900 HP | -8 speed | $1,000,000 | 10 rebirths |
Weapons worth knowing about
TipsWeapons split into ranged, melee, miscellaneous, AOE, and a moderator-only group. You can pick them up in the Armory, receive them via the give command, or find ones dropped by other players. Pressing Backspace drops your current weapon, and SCPs can pick up dropped items.
- The AA12 costs $3,000,000 and 5 rebirths, holds 20 rounds per mag with 2 spare mags, and can kill a Juggernaut in a single full magazine.
- The Bazooka costs $5,000,000, fires one rocket at a time with 5 spare mags, and takes three rockets to kill a Juggernaut — it is considered the weakest AOE option.
- The Baton costs $5,000 and knocks players back on hit.
- Four ammo types exist: standard, fire, super, and ice.
- AOE weapons include the Rocket Launcher and M202, both restricted to SUPER VIP players.
- Dropped weapons on the floor can be grabbed by SCPs.
Playing as or against the SCPs
TableThe SCPs you can buy or encounter each play very differently. Whether you are controlling one or trying to take one down, the approach changes completely.
| SCP-173 (as) | close the gap fast and use your high speed and damage before players can react. |
| SCP-173 (against) | aim for the head first; AOE weapons pass right through early in the fight, so hold off on them until his hitbox normalizes. |
| SCP-096 (as) | chase enemies down using your top speed, health, and reach; most players cannot outrun you. |
| SCP-096 (against) | use the ice gun or ice ammo, avoid the flamethrower entirely since its range is too short, and triggering SCP-173 nearby can handle him for you. |
| SCP-457 (as) | pick on targets who lack a fire extinguisher and are not heavily armored. |
| SCP-457 (against) | grab the fire extinguisher from beside his chamber for close range, or stay at distance with a high-damage automatic weapon since his walk speed is low. |
| SCP-682 (as) | use your massive health, damage, and hitbox aggressively, and stay away from players carrying the ice gun or ice ammo. |
| SCP-682 (against) | position on the stairs where he cannot reach you, then rotate between multiple explosive weapons so you are always firing while others reload. |

Common questions
FAQCan free players enjoy most of the game?
Yes. Without spending Robux you can build your facility up to 89% completion. The remaining 11% of facility completion and a handful of vehicles and AOE weapons require VIP or SUPER VIP.
Why did my progress disappear after a rebirth?
Rebirthing stops the game's auto-save, so anything you do afterward without rejoining can be lost. The fix is to leave the game and rejoin immediately after every rebirth before you continue building or spending money.
What is the best way to kill SCP-682?
Get to the stairs, where SCP-682 cannot reach you, and attack from that position. Bring multiple explosive weapons and switch between them while each one reloads so your damage output never stops. The Warhead and the Barrett sniper rifle are especially effective against it.
Can SCPs pick up weapons I drop?
Yes. Pressing Backspace drops your currently held weapon onto the ground, and SCPs can pick those items up.
