— Jailbird sometimes when equipped.

O-2536-2, also known as the Jailbird, is a Melee Weapon found in SCP: Secret Laboratory. It is a shock baton that can be charged up to hit other players.

Operational Guide

A strange shock baton of anomalous origin, brought to Site-02 for further research. It enhances the user's capabilities, allowing them to propel themselves forward at great speeds and deal significant damage with a direct swing.

Its unstable power core, however, renders it extremely hazardous after sustained use.

“It speaks', they said. I initially wrote it off as nonsense -- a typical rumor that spreads about these types of mysterious objects. But now, I sense something. A presence. There is this feeling within myself when I get near it, both intriguing and baffling to me. I will continue to observe the Jailbird to gather more information, and maybe it will sate this itch when I am away from it.”
-Dr. Lawrence Cain, Researcher, Site-02

In Game

The Jailbird can be found in an Experimental Weapon Locker located in Heavy Containment Zone, which requires a Keycard with Armory Access 3 to open.

The Jailbird can be swung with Left Click, dealing 50 damage to anyone it hits. This will bypass Armor, Artificial HP and Hume Shield. The Jailbird can be charged by holding Right Click. After a few seconds, the weapon is fully charged and ready to be used. Upon releasing Right Click the player charges forward at 17 m/s, with a blue streamer trail effect. The charge will end after the player hits something or after a short amount of time. The charge speed is a set value, overriding both positive and negative movement speed multipliers. A charge attack will deal 200 damage upon hit, and like before, this bypasses Armor, Artificial HP and Hume Shield. Targets who survive this attack will be given the Concussed Status Effect for four seconds and the Flashed effect for one second. The Jailbird also does quadruple damage towards SCP-049-2, making it an incredible weapon against SCP-049.

The Jailbird will malfunction after dealing a total of 1000 damage with its swing, or after using its charged move five times. The item is then removed from the player's inventory. The Jailbird's lights will change from blue to red to warn a player it is about to break. The weapon will violently exploded if it breaks from a charged attack. This will instantly kill the user and deal massive damage to anything nearby, similar to a High-Explosive Grenade. This explosion has an armor penetration of 50%.
