Overcharge is a Mechanic in SCP: Secret Laboratory that cause Heavy Containment Zone to be overloaded with power, forcing SCP-079 out of Site-02's systems.

In Game

In order to activate the Overcharge sequence, a player must press a button located inside SCP-079's Containment Chamber. Once the button has been pushed, the Overcharge event will occur.

However, SCP-079's containment chamber is locked shut at the start of the round, making it impossible for players to enter. In order to unlock the chamber, players must activate the three Emergency Power Stations, also known as generators, located around the Heavy Containment Zone. These stations require a Keycard with Armory Access 2 to unlock, and can be open and closed by anyone afterwards.

Once all three Emergency Power Stations have been successfully activated, SCP-079's Containment Chamber will unlock and automatically open. Players must then enter the smaller side room in the containment chamber, and break the glass over the large red button. Once the glass has been broken, the Overcharge sequence will occur, which locks all doors and shuts off the lights in Heavy Containment for ten seconds. After 10 seconds, the power will be restored, and SCP-079 (if present in the round) will be forced out of Site-02's systems and be successfully re-contained.
If SCP-079 is the last SCP alive in a round, the Overcharge event will automatically occur after three seconds.

Anouncements

When the 1st Emergency Power Stations is are activated:

"1 out of 3 generators activated."

When the 2nd Emergency Power Stations is activated:

"2 out of 3 generators activated."

When the 3rd Emergency Power Stations is activated:

"3 out of 3 generators activated. All generators have been successfully engaged."

When SCP-079 Recontainment Process is activated or all SCPs were contained:

"Overcharge in 3... 2... 1..."

When overcharge ends and there was no SCP-079:

"Facility is back in operational mode."

Trivia

Overcharge will not close doors if the Alpha Warhead is going off.
SCPs cannot break the glass over the button.
- In the private beta testing stage of v11.0.0., it was possible for SCP-049-2 instances to break the glass over the button, and re-contain SCP-079.
  - This was later fixed before the public beta was released.

-==Text-Based Remote Admin==
-Using [[Remote Admin#Text-Based Remote Admin|Text-Based Remote Admin]], one can force an Overcharge in Heavy Containment Zone with the overcharge command. The parameters are as follow: ''overcharge <duration> <onlyHeavy>''. The <onlyHeavy> parameter will cause the blackout to happen in [[Light Containment Zone]] if set to false. Forcing an Overcharge with Remote Admin does not kill SCP-079, and is simply only used to blackout Heavy Containment Zone and Light Containment Zone, making this command useful for server events.
