Status Effects

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.

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.

Invigorated

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 effect lasts eight seconds after using Adrenaline and will last eight seconds after consuming Yellow Candy.

Invisibility

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, SCP-096, and SCP-939 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, ranging from 1% to a maximum of 255%. 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.

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.

Vitality

Vitality is a positive effect that makes the user completely immune to certain negative Status Effects. It will also cause the SCP-207 effect to stop dealing damage, but will continue to allow the player to have infinite stamina for the duration of the effect.

The effect is applied permanently after being captured by SCP-106 and can be removed by SCP-500.

Mixed Effects

SCP-207

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.

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.
Mixing both the SCP-207 and SCP-207? status effects will cause the player to 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 SCP-1853, the player will also receive 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 she enters 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.

Inverted Controls

Inverted Controls was a negative effect that would invert all mouse movement for a short amount of time.

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.

Slow Metabolism

Slow Metabolism was a mixed effect that would lower a player's current speed by 20% and make the model appear fat.
The Purple Candy applied this effect for ten seconds. The candy would also add 330 AHP upon consumption, but that is not apart of the Slow Metabolism effect itself.

The Status Effect was removed after the end of the Halloween 2021 Event.

Sugar High

Sugar High was a mixed effect that would multiply the player's jump power by 1.5 for a short time. The v11.0.3 [Rebalance Patch] changed this to a multiplier of 2. After the effect ended, the player would be given the Disabled Status Effect for [2 × J] seconds. Where J equals the number of jumps performed. The v11.0.3 [Rebalance Patch] changed the time to [1.5 × J] seconds.
The Green Candy applied this effect for 15 seconds.
The Status Effect was removed after the end of the Halloween 2021 Event.
