Scp-173

An SCP-173 containment breach occurs when direct line of sight is broken with the concrete sculpture, allowing it to move at high speeds and snap necks or strangle personnel. Mechanics of the Breach • Trigger: Initiated during a site-wide power failure or blackout that cuts chamber lights and forces a loss of eye contact. • Behavior: SCP-173 moves rapidly through the facility when unobserved, tracks the player or personnel via sound and broken sightlines, and opens doors. • Lore / Game Intro: In the SCP - Containment Breach Wiki, the breakout happens right after D-Class personnel are trapped in its chamber during testing when power fails. How to Survive/Counter SCP-173 • Maintain Line of Sight: Never look away without blinking strategically, and close doors behind you to slow it down. • Blink Management: Manually time your blinks before entering open areas or rooms, and listen for its characteristic scraping-stone sound. • Audio Cues: Heavy stone-dragging noises indicate SCP-173 is moving nearby, and vision will blur when it gets extremely close. • Re-containment: It can be captured or re-contained by Mobile Task Force (MTF) units using a large containment box or coordinated observation.
