Our guide breaks down the essential elements of SCP: Secret Laboratory, offering observations that help you align your play style with each class, zone, and emergency tool without relying on hidden mechanics.

01 / THE GUIDE

Class Role Review

Compare the starting equipment and objectives of each class. Note how scientists rely on cooperation, while Class‑D must improvise, shaping distinct tactical approaches.

  • Coordinate with teammates of complementary classes for better chances of escape.
  • Watch the class description to understand what resources you start with.

02 / THE GUIDE

Zone Navigation Drill

Map out a route from the Entrance Zone to the Surface, marking where bulkheads and Tesla Gates sit. This visual aid clarifies safe corridors versus high‑risk passages.

  • Learn the layout of each zone to plan escape routes.
  • Use zone boundaries to your advantage when evading pursuers.

03 / THE GUIDE

Emergency Measure Timing

Practice triggering a bulkhead when pursued. Observe how the temporary block alters enemy movement, giving you a window to regroup or escape.

  • Trigger bulkheads to buy time when being chased.
  • Avoid Tesla Gates unless you intend to use them against opponents.

04 / THE GUIDE

Objective Prioritization

Set a personal goal matching your class—escape, containment, sabotage, or elimination—and measure success across several matches to refine focus.

  • Focus on your class’s primary goal rather than trying to do everything.
  • Watch for opposing players attempting to sabotage your objectives.

05 / THE GUIDE

Multiplayer Settings Check

Verify Steam Cloud, Achievements, and Anti‑Cheat are active. Consistent settings reduce unexpected disconnects and keep progress visible across sessions.

  • Enable Steam Cloud to keep your progress across installations.
  • Check the achievement list for optional challenges.
