Lore
SCP-268 is a tweed-wool newsboy cap. The design and make seem to be of Irish origin. Due to the style and fabric, it is estimated to have been created in the late 1800's to early 1900's, though fiber analysis is inconclusive. SCP-268 seems to be a normal hat until it is worn. Anyone wearing the hat, however, becomes suddenly and instantly unnoticeable. Subjects become unmemorable, thoroughly ignorable, or "taken for granted" by all observers. Testing reveals that if a subject wears SCP-268 upwards of twenty (20) cumulative hours, its effects seem to linger, with diminished potency, on the subject even while not wearing the artifact.It should be noted that although capturing SCP-268 through visual electronic means has been difficult, motion-sensing, weight sensing, heat seeking and similar devices all trigger correctly when encountering an SCP-268-wearing subject."

In Game
SCP-268 is a hat that will make the player wearing it temporarily invisible to both SCP objects and players (except SCP-079, SCP-096 and SCP-939). SCP-268 will not protect the player from damage however, so its advised to keep that in mind when using the object.
When equipped, the user can press Left Clickto don SCP-268. Pressing Right Clickbefore the player places it on their head will cancel wearing it.
When used, the item will make the wearer invisible for 20 seconds, after which it requires a cooldown of 2 minutes before it can be used again.
Using any item or opening a door while SCP-268 is in effect will cause it to become unequipped, forcing its cooldown.
SCP-268 will spawn in SCP-Pedestals. Which require a keycard with both Containment Access Tier 2 Containment Access Tier 2
and 
Checkpoint Access
to open.
Only one instance of SCP-268 will spawn per game.
Uses
- SCP-268 is best used for evasion, as a D-class trying to escape the facility becomes much easier with this item. One of the best situations might be when going up an elevator. If the player times it right, they can slip past any SCP or NTF that might be there, allowing them to escape.
- SCP-268 can also be used to ambush other players, making it a potent tool in the later stages of the game.
- The hat can also be combined with either SCP-500 or SCP-207 for extra effect.
Trivia
- Extract from the SCP-wiki - "As of ██/██/████, SCP-268 is missing. Its absence was discovered early in the morning by Agent █████ and research analysts, and in its place was a note reading "Thanks, I needed my hat back. ~ L.S." A full investigation of this security breach has been launched as of ██/██/████. Refer to [DATA EXPUNGED]"
