Description

SCP-173 is one of the seven playable SCP classes in SCP: Secret Laboratory.
SCP-173 is a sculpture that is able to move at extremely high speeds, but when looked at, will come to a complete stop. SCP-173 is able to move when targets looking at him blink.
SCP-173 acts as an ambush class SCP, meant to ambush a single target or small group.

In Game

SCP-173 will spawn in its containment cell in Light Containment Zone. SCP-173 can't leave his cell right away as it is locked, to allow Class-D and Scientist time to explore. After a short amount of time SCP-173 can leave his cell to begin killing humans in and around LCZ. SCP-173 can be controlled with WASD to move, and Spacebar to jump, though 173's jump height is very low.

SCP-173 can instantly kill players with a Left Click. Players can also hold down Left Click to snap someone's neck if they can predict where they will be when they blink. However when being looked at, SCP-173 will cease all movement, leaving it immobile until the enemy blinks, at which 173 gets a chance to either get closer or back off from its prey.

As SCP-173 takes damage its movement speed will increase, making it even more dangerous when low on health. When killed SCP-173 will fall apart on the spot, signalling its end.

SCP-173 can talk to the other SCPs by holding down the Q key. This voice chat can be heard by all SCPs no matter the distance.

Strengths:

• Instant Kill

Weaknesses:

• Stops movement immediately upon being looked at

• It is occasionally difficult to kill a mindful player if SCP-173 is alone and/or on high health.
