SCP-939 Changes

Claw Changes

• Adjusted how Claw’s area of effect (AoE) is calculated.
  
  
  
  • The target closest to the crosshair will always receive 100% of Claw’s damage.
    
  • Further targets within the AoE will take 100% of Claw’s damage, split across the number of targets.
    For example, if five players are within Claw’s area of effect, the closest target will receive 100% of the damage, whilst the other four targets will each receive 25% damage.
    
  
  
• SCP-939 is now able to damage players under the effects of SCP-268.
  Note: Lunge does not affect invisible players at this time. We are aware of this issue and will be correcting this error soon.
  

Focus Changes

Ultrasensitive Changes

• Players revealed by SCP-939 in close proximity no longer produce sound blips.
  
• Humans that are jumping, sprinting, or firing a weapon within four metres of SCP-939 will now be revealed. Being revealed persists for a slight time after the action(s) ceases. This effect ignores SCP-939’s reduced visual radius from running low on stamina.
  
• Humans within the SZ who fail to produce a sound blip naturally within 20 seconds will now begin to emit a sound blip every ten seconds. This effect will last until a sound blip is produced naturally.
  
• Once the Alpha Warhead is detonated, all humans will be permanently revealed to SCP-939.
  
• SCP-939 will no longer see sound blips from a user underneath the effects of SCP-268.
  

Amnesia Changes

• Amnesia, the effect caused by Amnestic Cloud, will no longer prevent humans from reloading or healing.

• Increased SCP-939’s base speed from 4.3 to 4.6.
  
• Increased SCP-939’s stamina to a total of 15s (from ten seconds).

  • All other instances of receiving a Containment Engineer Keycard from SCP-914 have been replaced by a Facility Manager Keycard.

SCP-079 Changes

• Reintroduced SCP-079’s intro cutscene with improved graphics.
  
• Doors locked by SCP-079 now produce a loud whirring noise.
  
• Locking a closed door now costs a fifth of SCP-079’s maximum AP. Maintaining this lock will then drain AP exponentially.
  
• Locking an opened door will now only cost 10 AP. SCP-079 will no longer drain AP to maintain this lock.
  
• SCP-079’s door locking cooldown is now universal. Instead of being door-specific, the initial cooldown before SCP-079 can lock another door is three seconds, plus however long the last door was locked for, divided by two (e.g.: if a door was locked for ten seconds, SCP-079 would have to wait eight seconds (3s + 10s/2) before he can lock any other door).
  
• Termination EXP rewards have been rebalanced.

  • SCP-106’s attack now requires two hits to send a target into the Pocket Dimension, with a cooldown of 1.5s per attack.

• When using Stalk, SCP-106 sinks into the floor 0.6s slower, and emerges 0.6s faster.
  
• SCP-106’s Stalk/Hunter’s Atlas shared cooldown recovers twice as fast while moving.
  
• Vigor now regenerates during Stalk/Hunter’s Atlas cooldown as long as SCP-106 is actively moving.
  
  

More SCP-related Changes

• SCP-049’s containment zone has been overhauled. This includes new hallways, armoury loot, and now a spawn point for SCP-173.
  
• SCP-018 now has a slower acceleration, requiring more time to reach maximum velocity.
