Plan your next SCP – Containment Breach session
Our independent guide expands on the core topics of SCP – Containment Breach, offering structured observations and comparative notes to help players understand each mechanic without promising hidden advantages.
01 / THE GUIDE
Blink Management
Track the blink interval across several runs, noting how quickly the timer accelerates in gas‑filled zones. Compare outcomes to identify safe distances from SCP‑173 during a blink.
- Observe gas‑filled areas before entering; they increase blink speed.
- Take note of document locations early to reduce backtracking.
02 / THE GUIDE
Map Familiarity
After three random runs, sketch the generated layout each time. Look for recurring room types and door placements to improve navigation without relying on memorization.
- Treat each new corridor as unknown; proceed cautiously.
- Keep an eye on the map when it appears to plan escape routes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Keycard Allocation
Record where each security clearance keycard appears in different runs. Assess whether certain keycards consistently open specific door clusters.
- Keep your view on SCP‑173 whenever possible to prevent movement.
- Watch the blink timer and plan safe pauses before it expires.
04 / THE GUIDE
Timer Door Timing
Activate a timer‑controlled door and measure the open window with a stopwatch. Use this data to gauge how much time you realistically have to pass through.
- Collect any keycards you find; they may be needed for doors requiring sufficient security clearance.
- When encountering a timer door, note the open duration before rushing through.
05 / THE GUIDE
Editor Experimentation
Create a simple custom room using CBRE‑EX, then load it via Steam Workshop. Compare the feel of your design to the base game’s procedural rooms.
- Use the editor to experiment with layout changes before publishing.
- Browse the Workshop for maps that adjust difficulty or add new SCPs.
