Overview
SCP-173 imports the iconic blink mechanic — move when observed, strike when line-of-sight breaks. In Backrooms maintenance wings this creates high-tension assassin gameplay at hard difficulty.
Guard teams with voice comms and overlapping angles shut 173 down; silent pub stacks feed S-tier kill counts to skilled pilots.
Playing SCP-173

Never engage full stacks in open junctions without another anomaly splitting attention.
Office cluster corners are kill boxes when guards open doors one-by-one.
Guard Counters
Always pair maintenance clears — one watches, one pushes, one flex with stun.
Never blink simultaneously — stagger sightlines on corners.
