Plan your next SCP: Secret Laboratory session
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.
