Status Effects are a Mechanic in SCP: Secret Laboratory that are used to change the stats of a player. Status Effects can be applied from various in-game Items, or SCP attacks. Certain SCPs can spawn with a Status Effect as well.
Currently, certain Status Effects can only be applied via Remote Admin.
List of Status Effects
There are four classifications for Status Effects:
- Positive - These effects will benefit the player.
- Negative - These effects will provide a drawback.
- Mixed - These effects will benefit the player, but also have drawbacks.
- Technical - These effects are not displayed in the Remote Admin Menu but can be applied with text-based Remote Admin. They soley exist for technical purposes.
Positive Effects
Bodyshot Reduction
Bodyshot Reduction is a positive effect that reduces damage taken from shots to the body, SCP-939's claw and SCP-049-2's swipe (Shots to the head and limbs will deal normal damage). Bodyshot Reduction will ignore a weapon's penetration, meaning the damage is directly reduced.
The amount of damage reduced is based on the intensity of the effect. An intensity of one is a 5% reduction, two is a 10% reduction, three is a 12.5% reduction and an intensity of four is a 15% reduction. Any further amount is capped off at 15%.
The effect is applied when consuming Rainbow Candy with an intensity of one and last until the player dies. The effect is also removed upon escaping as a Civilian. The effect can be stacked by consuming additional Rainbow Candies.
Damage Reduction
Damage Reduction is a positive effect that reduces any damage the player takes. The amount of damage reduced is based on the intensity of the effect, with each intensity adding a 0.5% reduction. An intensity of one is a 0.5% reduction, two is a 1% reduction, three is a 1.5% reduction and an intensity of four is a 2% reduction and so on.
The effect is applied for 15 seconds when consuming Purple Candy with an intensity of 40, meaning a 20% Reduction. Consuming Purple Candy will override the intensity level of a currently active Damage Reduction if its intensity is less than 40. The timer will not be overridden and is simply increased by 15 seconds.
Invigorated
Invigorated is a positive effect that prevents the Stamina bar from draining, allowing constant sprinting for its duration. It will also increase the contrast of the player's screen for the duration of the effect. The Amnesia Status Effect will be blocked while Invigorated is in effect. Additionally players under Invigorated can not be seen by SCP-106 while they are using Stalk.
Using Adrenaline or consuming Yellow Candy will apply the effect for eight seconds. Consuming Rainbow Candy applies the effect for five seconds. All three items will stack when using multiple in a short succession. The stack is not item specific, allowing players to stack the effect by using different items.
Invisibility
Invisibility is a positive effect that makes the player unable to be seen by most classes. While the player will remain invisible to most classes, SCP-079 and SCP-096, are still able to see invisible players.
The effect is applied by using SCP-268, and will last 15 seconds, but will end early if the player equips any item or interacts with any object, such as doors or SCP-914.
Interesting, if the Invisibility Effect was applied by Remote Admin, players can equip items without the effect being removed, but are still unable to interact with objects.
Movement Boost
Movement Boost is a positive effect that increases the player's speed by a defined amount. Each level of intensity is a 1% increase in speed, with 255% being the max. It should not be confused with SCP-207's effect, which increase the player's speed at the cost of health. The two effects will stack if applied together.
The effect is applied for eight seconds after consuming Yellow Candy with an intensity level of 10. Consuming Yellow Candy while already under the effect will increase the intensity by ten and add an additional eight seconds to the timer.
SCP-1853
Main article: SCP-1853
SCP-1853 is a positive effect that increases motor function, including weapon draw time, reload speed, item pickup speed, and medical item use time.
Multiple instances of SCP-1853 can be stacked, but for each additional instance, effectiveness is halved. If combined with the SCP-207 or SCP-207?, the player will also receive the Poisoned effect.
The effect is applied by using SCP-1853 and is removed by using SCP-500.
Spawn Protection
Spawn Protection is a positive effect which will prevent a player from taking damage and being affected by SCP-244's fog. The effect is granted upon spawning in at the start of the round or from respawning as MTF or Chaos and last a short time. Preventing players from being spawn killed. Spawn Protection can be enabled by server configs, but it is off by default. Other settings exist to make spawn protection only apply to certain teams, how long it last and if players who have this status effect can deal damage to others.
Rainbow Taste
Rainbow Taste is a positive effect which will reduce the severity of several negative effects, including
Asphyxiated,
Bleeding,
Burned,
Disabled,
Hemorrhage,
Hypothermia,
and SCP-207.
These effects are dampened further by stacking the Rainbow Taste Effect.
The effect is applied for ten seconds after consuming Rainbow Candy. Despite Rainbow Taste becoming stronger when stacked, Rainbow Candy does not allow the user to stack the effect.
Rainbow Taste uses multipliers when reducing the severity of negative effects. The multiplier used is based on the intensity level of Rainbow Taste. This is capped at an intensity of three.
The multipliers are the following:
- No Rainbow Taste Effect: No reduction is applied
- Intensity of one: The effect has a 0.6 multiplier applied. (40% reduction)
- Intensity of two: The effect has a 0.4 multiplier applied. (60% reduction)
- Intensity of three: The effect has a 0.35 multiplier applied. (65% reduction)
Vitality
Vitality is a positive effect that makes the user completely immune to certain negative Status Effects. It will also block the downsides of both the SCP-207 and SCP-207? effects, but will keep their benefits. Once Vitality ends, the SCP-207 effect will resume its health drain.
The effect is applied for 30 seconds after consuming Green Candy.
Vitality does not grant immunity to the following negative Status Effects:

The effect is applied for 20 seconds when attacked by SCP-049 (The attack itself also deals 8 damage ontop of the effect). Players currently under the Cardiac Arrest effect are instantly killed when attack by SCP-049. The effect is removed by taking Adrenaline or SCP-500.
Concussed
Concussed is a negative effect that applies extreme blur while turning. The intensity of this blur is dependent on the speed at which the player turns.
The effect is applied for ten seconds if the player is hit by the explosion of the 3-X Particle Disruptor, Jailbird, High-Explosive Grenade, Pink Candy, SCP-018 and mixing SCP-207/SCP-207?. The effect is applied for ten seconds when hit by SCP-096's charge attack. This is lowered to four seconds if the player was not a target. It can be removed by using Adrenaline, Painkillers, or SCP-500. The Rainbow Taste effect has a 40% chance to block the effect from being applied.
Corroding
Corrosion is a negative Status Effect that deals damage over time to the player. It is applied for 20 seconds after being initially hit by SCP-106 and deals 2.1 damage per second. If a player is attacked again by SCP-106 while they have Corrosion they will be sent to the Pocket Dimension. The damage can be blocked with the Vitality Status Effect, though it does not prevent the effect being applied to the player. Allowing SCP-106 to still send that player to the Pocket Dimension.
Pocket Corroding
Pocket Corroding is a negative Status Effect that teleports the player to SCP-106's Pocket Dimension and drains their HP. The drain rate of HP increases the longer they remain in the Pocket Dimension. The effect will also disable the player's sprint. The effect is applied when attacked by SCP-106 while under the Corroding Effect. The Vitality Status Effect is unable to block the damage.
The effect goes away once the player successfully escapes the Pocket Dimension.

This effect can only be applied by Remote Admin.
Flashed
Flashed is a negative effect that makes the player unable to see for a short amount of time. SCP-079 is immune to this effect.
The effect is applied for three to five seconds when the player is hit by a Flashbang Grenade based on the distance to the grenade and if the player was looking away or not.

The effect is applied while inside the fog generated by SCP-244. It can be removed by leaving SCP-244's fog.
Poisoned
Poisoned is a negative effect that deals damage every five seconds. The damage starts at 2 HP/5s but over times increases to 20 HP/5s.
It can be applied by having either the SCP-207 or SCP-207? Status Effect active alongside SCP-1853 Status Effect. The effect can be removed by SCP-500 and the Rainbow Taste effect has a 40% chance to block the damage.

Silent Walk
Silent Walk is a negative effect that decreases the volume of the player's footsteps, making it harder to hear. The strength of the effect is determined by the intensity level applied, with each level of intensity reducing the footstep volume by 10%. So an intensity of two is a 20% reduction in volume, intensity of six is a 60% reduction and an intensity of ten is a 100% reduction. Despite having no downside, the effect is listed as a negative effect.
Silent Walk can only be applied by Remote Admin. SCP-939's silent footsteps while walking does not use this effect.
Sinkhole
Sinkhole is a negative effect that slows down player movement by 30% and sprinting is disabled. The amount the player is slowed down by can be controlled by config. It should not be confused with the Stained effect, which has a very similar function.

Mixed Effects
SCP-207
Main article: SCP-207
SCP-207 is a mixed effect that blocks stamina drain and increases the player's movement speed but will slowly drain HP. The effect can be stacked up to four times, increasing both the positive and negative effects. The Rainbow Taste effect has a 40% chance to block damage every tick, and the Vitality effect will fully disable the drain. If combined with the SCP-207? effect, the player will violently explode after 1.05 seconds. This explosion acts similar to a normal High-Explosive Grenade and will bypass the death save effect of {StatusEffectsColor|name=SCP-207?}}. If combined with the SCP-1853 effect, the player will be given the Poisoned effect.
The effect is applied by consuming SCP-207 and is removed by using SCP-500.
The Rainbow Taste Status Effect will dampen the damage dealt by the SCP-207 effect. Depending on the intensity of Rainbow Taste, the SCP-207 effect will be dampened further. This stops once it reaches an intensity level of three. More specifically, the Rainbow Taste Status Effect changes the damage multiplier for each SCP-207 stacked.

SCP-207?
Main article: SCP-207?
SCP-207? is a mixed effect that lowers a player's speed but grants a permanent HP regeneration. The effect can be stacked up to four times, increasing both the positive and negative effects. The HP regeneration speed scales based on player movement, with standing still giving the fastest HP regeneration and sprinting giving the slowest. The Vitality Status Effect will prevent players from being slowed down from the SCP-207? effect while retaining the HP regeneration. SCP-207? will save the player from death one time, leaving the player with 1 HP and 0.25 seconds of damage immunity. The player is also granted two seconds of damage immunity to Tesla Gates. The SCP-207? effect is fully removed upon saving one from death, regardless of the amount stacked. SCP-207? will not save the player from death pits, the Pocket Dimension, SCP-173's neck snap, SCP-939's lunge, Chaos Car, 3-X Particle Disruptor or the Jailbird. As an exception, SCP-207? will save the player from the explosions caused by the 3-X Particle Disruptor and Jailbird.
If combined with the SCP-207 effect, the player will violently explode after 1.05 seconds. This explosion acts similar to a normal High-Explosive Grenade and will bypass the death save effect. If combined with the SCP-1853 effect, the player will be given the Poisoned effect. The effect is applied by consuming SCP-207? and is removed by using SCP-500.
Any AHP the player has while under the effect is counted as part of the player's normal HP when it comes to the "death save mechanic". So a player with "35 AHP and 5 HP" is treated as a player with 40 HP, which will prevent the death save mechanic from going off if the player's normal HP takes damage that is less than the collective total of the AHP and HP but great enough to deplete the five HP. This effectively means lower damage sources are more effective at killing a user under SCP-207? that has AHP.
Technical Effects
Insufficient Light
Insufficient Light is a technical effect that is applied to SCP-939 upon spawn. The name of the effect implies it is used for SCP-939's vision.
It can be manually applied to a player with Text-Based Remote Admin by using "insufficientlight" in the effect name parameter.
Mute Soundtrack
Mute Soundtrack is a technical effect that is applied to SCP-939 when they enter Focus mode. As the name implies, it mutes the game's soundtrack. It does not mute the chase theme for SCP-173, due to the fact SCPs can't hear it in the first place. The Decontamination music and Alpha Warhead music are also unaffected by the effect as they are apart of the audio file for their announcements.
It can be manually applied to a player with Text-Based Remote Admin by using "mutesoundtrack" in the effect name parameter.
Item Interaction
Typically, Status Effects can be removed by usage of an item or by waiting it out. The following lists are quick references for what items can cure a Status Effect.
Using Adrenaline will remove the following effect(s):

SCP-956
Main article: SCP-956
SCP-956 was a negative status effect that would lock the player's movement in place and force their camera to face SCP-956. The effect was applied by standing within a five meter radius of SCP-956 while under the effects of SCP-559. Players must stay in the radius for 3.5 seconds to be locked in place. This was lowered to 2.5 seconds after the rebalance patch. Any players who were not under the effects of SCP-559 can safely stay inside the five meter radius unless they have pieces of candy in their inventory. In which, those players would get the SCP-956 effect if they stayed within the radius for 20 seconds.
While SCP-956 itself may have not seem like an effect, it was listed as one in Remote Admin and could even be applied to a player. Allowing SCP-956 to "target anyone", including those on Surface Zone where it could not spawn.
The effect was removed after the end of the Anniversary-Christmas 2022 event.
Traumatized By Evil
Traumatized By Evil was a negative Status Effect that applied a greyscale to the player's screen. It acted similar to the base Traumatized without applying buffs to SCP-106. It could be cured by using SCP-500. The Status Effect was removed after the end of the Halloween 2023 Event.
Mixed Status Effects
Metal
Metal was a mixed status effect that would turn the player completely metal for a short amount of time. The effect was applied by consuming the Gray Candy for 30 seconds. Additionally, the Black Candy's could randomly apply this effect due to its mechanics.
While metal, the following would apply:
- The player's model becomes grey and metallic.
- Damage reduction of 20%.
- 75% fall damage reduction.
- Movement speed reduced by 25%.
- Medical Item usage speed decreased by 50%.
- Removes Ghostly and Orange Candy Status Effects if active.
Metal players could damage other players by falling on top of them, often dealing lethal damage to humans. While falling, holding down the C key would allow the metal player to fall much faster, increasing damage and allowing the metal player to deal damage by jumping off tables. The metal player will take fall damage from these short heights.
A loud metal pipe sound will play upon stomping.
SCP-939 Visuals
SCP-939 Visuals were a mixed effect that alters the player's vision. All objects turn black with white outlines and the player could only see other players under certain conditions (Making noise). Players who meet these conditions could be seen through walls, while players who are not making noises were completely invisible unless they are bumped into or are on the Surface.
This effect was used exclusively for SCP-939, but could be applied to others with Remote Admin.

Trivia
- When first added, the Burned Effect increased damage taken by 10%.
- There was also a bug where the Burned Effect didn't increase the amount of damage a player took from firearms. Instead it increased the amount of damage a player dealt with firearms.
- The SCP-1853 Effect was originally a Mixed Status Effect as it applied a 50% penalty to Stamina consumption.
- This was later lowered to a 30% penalty before being removed all together.
- The Rainbow Taste Effect would dampen the effects of the Stamina penalty.
- The Stamina reduction values would be the following with Rainbow Taste:
- No Rainbow Taste Effect: Initial had a 50% Stamina Penalty. Rebalance patch had a 30% Stamina penalty.
- Intensity of one: Initial would be a 30% Stamina penalty. Rebalance patch would be a 18% Stamina penalty.
- Intensity of two: Initial would be a 20% Stamina penalty. Rebalance patch would be a 12% Stamina penalty.
- Intensity of three: Initial would be a 17.5% Stamina penalty. Rebalance patch would be a 10.5% Stamina penalty.
- The Stamina reduction values would be the following with Rainbow Taste:
