We’ve just released the Halloween seasonal update for SCP:SL. Included are new and reworked SCP-330 candies, a new playable SCP, alongside numerous other smaller features for this year’s spooky season. [h2]SCP-3114 — Wouldn't it be Chilly?[/h2] SCP-3114 is our newest playable SCP, added for this year's Halloween festivities. In short, it is an animate human skeleton — capable of inflicting melee damage, as well as disguising itself as the deceased. Spawning in PT00, it’ll often disguise itself quickly; so that it may discreetly blend into the crowd(s) of civilians rushing throughout Light Containment Zone. [i]You’ll never know as to whose face it may be hiding under …[/i] Although we haven’t decided if SCP-3114 is a suitable candidate for permanent implementation, we’ve ensured that SCP-3114 will remain in the Remote Admin menu year-round, allowing modded communities and server administration to spawn the SCP in whenever desired. As such, you can expect to see more of SCP-3114! [h3]Base Stats[/h3] [list] [*]SCP-3114 has a chance to additionally spawn “on top” of the other SCPs in a round. [*]SCP-3114 spawns with 1250 HP. Hume Shield starts at 350, and scales up to 600 when at low health. [*]While undisguised, SCP-3114 has a walk speed of 4.6m/s, a sprint speed of 5.8m/s, and a total of 5 seconds of stamina. [*]While disguised, SCP-3114 will match the walk, sprint, and stamina of a human. [/list] [h3]Primary Attack — ‘Catch These Hands’[/h3] SCP-3114 slaps the area in front of it, in a similar fashion to SCP-939’s [i]Claw[/i] attack. Each successful hit deals 10 damage, and restores 25 Hume Shield. This has an attack cooldown of 0.5s (equating the time-to-kill to a total of five seconds). [h3]Secondary Attack — ‘Strangulation’[/h3] SCP-3114 grabs a nearby human by the neck, locks them into place, and begins strangling them. Victims progressively lose more and more HP — starting from 5hp/s, which is then accelerated by 5hp/s² (equating the time-to-kill to a total of roughly five seconds). Players can be saved from SCP-3114’s [i]Strangulation[/i] if the SCP receives substantial incoming damage. [h3]Primary Ability — ‘Under Their Skin’[/h3] When SCP-3114 walks up to a corpse while undisguised, a message on-screen will display “Hold ‘E’ to Steal Skin”. This action will take five seconds to complete. SCP-3114 will begin to tear off the corpse’s skin, donning it as its own. This results in SCP-3114 adopting the name, model, and class of the recently deceased player. The corpse will then be reduced to a pile of bones — a primary sign that SCP-3114 had been in the area. Holding ‘R’ while disguised will cause SCP-3114 to abruptly tear off its skin — destroying the disguise — re-enabling its primary and secondary attacks. [h3]Passive Ability — ‘Skeletons in Your Closet’[/h3] SCP-3114’s passive ability is focused on helping it blend in with humans easier. The following effects are granted while SCP-3114 is disguised: [list] [*] Spectators will not be able to view SCP-3114’s nickname. [*] SCP-3114 will have the class, model, and name of the person to whom the original corpse belonged to. [*] SCP-3114 can equip, hold, and drop all items in the game. Most items cannot be utilised by SCP-3114. [*] On non-friendly fire servers, a hitmarker will not be displayed when shooting a disguised SCP-3114. [*] SCP-3114’s appearance will be visually distinct from other humans when observed by fellow SCPs. [*] SCP-3114 is able to freely communicate with humans when disguised as one, akin to old SCP-939. [/list] [h2]SCP-330 — Halloween Edition![/h2] As per the yearly tradition, we’ve revisited SCP-330 this year. SCP-330’s bowl now has six new candies, bringing the total to 13.
