Radios are a type of Item found in SCP: Secret Laboratory.
In Game
Radios allow for long range communication between other players who have Radios, regardless of what team they may be on.
Radios start with 100% charge, which will slowly deplete if the Radio remains active. Higher ranges will drain power faster.
Holding down V will allow the player to use the Radio. The Radio does not need to be equipped in order to use it.
One can change the channels by equipping the Radio and pressing Left Click. There are currently 4 ranges: Short Range, Medium Range, Long Range and Ultra Range (SR, MR, LR, UR).
The Radio can be turned on or off by pressing Right Click.
While the Radio is turned off, battery will not be consumed.
Spawning
- Standard Lockers [5%]
- Weapon Locker Type 21 (Drawer) [22.2%]
- LCZ Armory [100%]
- HCZ Ammunition Armory [100%]
- Spawns on all MTF Operatives and Facility Guards.
- The Radio will automatically be turned on upon spawning and set to the MR range.
Range
- Short Range - 112.5
meters
- Medium Range - 187.5
meters
- Long Range - 1125
meters
- Ultra Range - 7500
meters
One hallway is about 15.45 meters.
If two players are using different ranges on the Radio, the range the players can communicate with each other is the average of both ranges. So "(Range1 + Range2) / 2". For example, the default range, Medium, is 187.5m while Long range is 1125 meters. So, (187.5 + 1125) / 2 equals 656.3. So a Radio on Medium Range can communicate with a Radio on Long Range if it is within 656.3 meters and vice versa. Below is a chart showing the distances for each range combination.
High enough ranges can be used to communicate with players on other levels of the Facility.
Keep in mind, Light Containment Zone is above Heavy Containment Zone, so a Radio on Surface will have an easier time reaching a Radio in Light Containment Zone than a Radio in Heavy Containment Zone. Warhead Silo and SCP-049's Room are also located above Heavy Containment Zone, but are closer to Heavy Containment Zone than they are to Light Containment Zone.
| Short Range | Medium Range | Long Range | Ultra Range | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short Range | 7.3 hallways | 9.7 hallways | 40 hallways | 246.4 hallways |
| Medium Range | 9.7 hallways | 12.1 hallways | 42.5 hallways | 248.8 hallways |
| Long Range | 40 hallways | 42.5 hallways | 72.8 hallways | 279.1 hallways |
| Ultra Range | 246.4 hallways | 248.8 hallways | 279.1 hallways | 485.4 hallways |
Power Usage
The Radio has a limited and short battery life that it uses up over time before dying. The power usages depends on range and if the radio is idle or currently being used to broadcast. Receiving a message does not deplete the battery faster. Depleted Radios can be recharged in SCP-914 on the 1:1 and Fine settings.
According to the back of the model, the battery the Radios use are: LI-Ion Battery Model Bat-420/J. The back also tells the user to not recharge the Radio in SCP-914, despite this being the only way to do so ingame. Despite not being ingame, Radios do have an official branded charger.
| Range | Idle | Talking | Total Idle Time | Total Talk Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 0.01% per second | 0.7% per second | 166.67 minutes | 2.38 minutes |
| Medium | 0.02% per second | 1% per second | 83.33 minutes | 1.67 minutes |
| Long | 0.08% per second | 2% per second | 20.83 minutes | 50 seconds |
| Ultra | 0.23% per second | 4% per second | 7.25 minutes | 25 seconds |
