Surviving in SCP: Secret Laboratory requires knowledge of each class’s strengths and weaknesses. This guide will walk you through the best strategies to escape or survive as a Scientist, Class-D, or Facility Guard.

Scientists

Early Steps

1. If you spawn near SCP-914:
   • Set the machine to Very Fine and upgrade your keycard to an Orange Keycard.
   • This will grant you access to Heavy Containment, where you can upgrade further.
2. If you do not spawn near SCP-914:
   • Search shelves in rooms for a Zone Manager Keycard (Green).
   • This keycard allows you to enter Heavy Containment.

Navigating the Facility

• Avoid SCP-914 for too long. It’s a hotspot for ambushes.
• Once in Heavy Containment, prioritize finding SCP-106’s or SCP-096’s chamber for a Lieutenant Keycard.
• Head to Entrance Zone and use Gate B for the fastest escape.
• Pick up SCP items along the way—they might save your life!

Class-D Personnel (D-Boys)

Early Steps

1. Avoid the crowd – Go in a different direction than the majority to increase your chances of finding loot.
2. Check key locations for items:
   • PT00: Contains shelves and sometimes a pistol.
   • Toilets and Candy Room: Shelves here can hold keycards or useful items.
3. Your goal is to obtain two keycards:
   • Scientist Keycard (Yellow).
   • Zone Manager Keycard (Green).

Navigating the Facility

• Find a way into Heavy Containment.
• Avoid elevators if possible. Anything that comes from an elevator is likely an SCP or Facility Guard.
• If you lack keycards, stick close to players who do and follow them.
• Once in Heavy Containment, check the Nuke Room or SCP-079’s area for a Facility Guard Keycard.
• Escape through Gate B.

Captured by Facility Guards?

• If you are detained, cooperate to reach Entrance Zone.
• If detained upon escaping, you will respawn as an MTF member. If free, you respawn as Chaos Insurgency.

Facility Guards

Early Steps

• Decide on your approach:
  • Option 1: Stay in Entrance Zone to detain or kill Class-D personnel.
  • Option 2: Move into Light Containment to escort Scientists.

Navigating the Facility

• Obtain a Lieutenant Keycard from SCP-106’s or SCP-096’s chamber.
• Use flash grenades! Many Facility Guards forget about them, but they work well against SCPs.
• If an SCP is chasing you in Heavy Containment, hide in rooms SCPs cannot open:
  • Armory
  • SCP-096’s Chamber
• If SCP-079 (The Computer) is active, do NOT lock yourself in these rooms.
• Stick together! A squad of guards can take down SCP-049 in seconds.

Pro Tip:

• If SCPs are near the Heavy Containment elevators, take System B instead of A to increase your chances of survival.

Final Tips for All Classes

• Doors are your best defense – always close them behind you.
• Always listen for SCP movement sounds.
• Stock up on healing items and ammo whenever possible.
• SCP-914 is useful but dangerous—get in and get out fast.
• Cooperation increases survival chances. If you can’t escape alone, work with others.

By following this guide, you’ll significantly improve your survival chances in SCP: Secret Laboratory. Whether you’re a Scientist, Class-D, or Facility Guard, knowing what to do in each situation is key to survival.

Good luck in the facility, and stay safe!
