Subsection-05 of Site-02, also known as the Heavy Containment Subsection, or Heavy Containment Zone, is one of four zones found in SCP: Secret Laboratory. The zone contains several important features such as the Micro H.I.D., the Alpha Warhead Silo, as well as the three Emergency Power Stations.

Operational Guide Overview

The Heavy Containment Subsection, also known as Subsection-05, is one of Site-02’s most secure subsections. Dedicated to the secure containment of numerous dangerous Keter and Euclid class anomalies, such as instances of SCP-939 and SCP-106. The Heavy Containment Subsection contains many tools that security may utilize in the containment and security of anomalies.

Subsection-05 is composed of P-S-3 electrostatic tesla gates and additional subsections. These include Subsection-05-1 and Subsection-05-2, both with various uses ranging from dedicated SCP-containment to the on-site nuclear warhead.

“Another log. May as well keep some of my thoughts collected at least. Termination tests for 096 are going nowhere. Nobody can figure out how to snap, chip, or otherwise break its bone structure. Project Segmentum isn't getting any better, it's still locked up in its service locker. Techies are still trying to figure out some new method of delivering its energy supply. The only thing that does happen on the regular is 106’s containment breaches. Either I'm missing out on the fun stuff or our work here is entirely pointless.”

Description

Heavy Containment Zone (HCZ) is one of four zones in Site-02.
Placed below Light Containment Zone and located right next to Entrance Zone, it is considered one of the most dangerous zones, as it is the spawn location for all the playable SCPs.

Heavy Containment Zone is also the only zone affected by the Overcharge event, which is used to re-contain SCP-079. This event occurs after all 3 Emergency Power Stations have been activated, and the button in SCP-079's Containment Chamber is pushed (this will also occur when SCP-079 is the last SCP alive).

Heavy Containment Zone contains a few important rooms that contain items that can aid a player in escaping or re-containing certain SCP.

Unique Areas

Unique areas include containment chambers or other rooms of interest that spawn only once. These areas may include valuable items, weapons or have an important gameplay role.

Elevator Systems

Elevator System A
Elevator System B

The Elevator Systems are two separate rooms that contain two elevators that connect Heavy Containment Zone to Light Containment Zone. Players can use the elevators to go up to Light Containment Zone.

Above each elevator is a timer showing how much time is left until Light Containment Zone gets Decontaminated.

Tesla Gate

An inactive Tesla Gate
An active Tesla Gate.

Tesla Gates are straight hallways equipped with high powered tesla coils.

After the player steps far enough into the a room, the Tesla Gate will activate its sensors and prepare to fire. If the player approaches close enough to the Tesla Gate, it will quickly wind up its coils before firing out a wall of electricity. This eletrical wall deals massive damage to anything it hits, instantly killing humans and SCP-049-2. Tesla Gates only deal damage for three ticks, allowing most SCPs to not die in one blast. The amount of damage for each tick is a random number from 200 to 300.
Tesla Gates are quite loud and can be heard from several rooms away when operational.

If SCP-079 viewing a room containing a Tesla Gate, the tesla coil will begin to charge itself even if no player is nearby.


Server Room

Top of the room with an Emergency Power Station against the far wall, and a Bulletproof Locker №7 at the closer wall.
Bottom of the room.
Stairs that connect one of the entrances of the room to the bottom of the servers.

The Server Room is a two-level room full of servers. It is a straight hallway variant. This room is mainly used for hiding.

A Scientist Keycard can spawn either on the top or bottom floor behind the servers.
Up to two First Aid Cabinets or Emergency Power Stations can also spawn on the top floor.

2 common hiding spots in this room include behind any of the servers or in a small area under the stairs.

The Alpha Warhead Silo is the location of the Alpha Warhead. It is located above HCZ, and can only be accessed via an elevator system. An Emergency Power Station can spawn along the wall opposite of the elevator that leads up to the silo.

In the center of the area, is the silo itself, with the Alpha Warhead seated in place.
Opposite of the elevator system is a small control room, which contains a control panel. This panel is used to activate or deactivate the warhead.
The control room is covered by a wall with openings that face the elevator system. These openings make great cover when shooting enemies coming up the elevator.

Beside the control panel is an armory which does not require a Keycard to enter.
The armory will always contain a Workstation, and either a MTF-E11-SR Rack or Weapon Locker Type 21 as well.

Behind the gates is a medium sized room that contains SCP-079 behind a cage.
There is also a side room that contains lots of loot and a button to terminate SCP-079. Pressing the button will cause the Overcharge event to occur, and will allow the gates to be open/closed with any keycard with Containment Tier 2. Near the upper right of the button, one of the five hidden Hubertballs can be found. It is nearly impossible to see without noclip.

A plaque can also be found in SCP-079's room for the ARG event held in December of 2019. The plaque has a list of the main people who participated in the event.

SCP-939's Containment Area is a corner hallway that acts as the spawn location of SCP-939. The area contains an entire laboratory of equipment and chemicals for the studying of SCP-939. SCP-244-B can not spawn in this room.

The room is divided into three parts, the entrance, the laboratory, and the Cryo Storage. The entrance area has nothing of value and simply acts as the connection to the rest of Heavy Containment Zone via two doors, both of which have green pipes near them. The laboratory is marked by a sign warning individuals the area is used for the containment of a Keter level SCP.

The laboratory itself contains spawn points for structures such as Standard Lockers and First Aid Cabinets. The outer walls of the laboratory contain various unopenable storage containers, counters with lab equipment, unopenable cabinets and a whiteboard. The middle of the room contains an island with various lab equipment on it. The scale found on the island is interactable, any item or ragdoll that lands on top of it will have its weight measured. If multiple objects are on the scale all at once, the scale will add up all of their weight. This includes the second scale in the room that has an unmoveable prop on top of it.
Interestingly, the weight of items displayed by the scale is not 1:1 with the item's actual weight in the code due to rounding. Any item that weighs 5kg or more will display "Err" on the scale. Putting the Micro H.I.D. on the scale will display "Next time eat a salad".

There are five possible map layouts of Heavy Containment Zone. Special Rooms are randomized in these layouts, HCZ/EZ Checkpoint are marked via the orange room labeled EZ, this room is two hallways long.

Trivia

  • The Testroom servered as SCP-939's spawn before the 12.0.0 Mimicry Update.
    • The room did not have a death pit like it does now. Instead, the side area contained a series of ramps that led to the bottom of the room, which is where SCP-939-53 and SCP-939-89 could spawn.
    • The side area was replaced with a small office and the bottom became a death pit. The small office was an idea suggested by a patron (Dan∞#9999), who even created a mock up render.
