What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Change the head covering in SCP-096 breaches. The way it currently works is that you pick up a bucket from one of the few places it is spawned, go to 096 and place the bucket hoping you wont die. In my opinion sure this works however it is quite unbalanced and not very "realistic", there is a few changes in mind.

First and foremost: Changing the system of placing the cover on 096, create the similar system to elastic restrains by having a person hovering over 096 for 2 or so seconds to actually cover the face. Atm if you look at 096 you would run, get a bucket, stand in a doorway, spam click and pray.

Second of: Change the model for the head-cover from a bucket to some sort of bag, very self explanatory.

Lastly: If the first change is to be denied they should limit the amount of buckets in circulation. Instead of everyone running around haywire with buckets it makes it so people actually cordinate when it comes to 096 breaches.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Possibly, there are three possible changes.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Makes it more enjoyable to play/breach as 096.
- Quite a lot more "realistic".
- Cordination when it comes to 096 breaches (Especially the third suggestion).
- 096 breaches taken more seriously.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- The difficulty in containing SCP-096 will increase.
- On the third suggestion there might be people hogging the "face mask".
- 096 could go on an endless killing spree in D-Block.
- 096 players activly avoiding getting their face covered be crouching or strafing.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
When it comes to lore accurate 096 it would be impossible to cover its face when enraged without using foresay a massive blanket or something, that obviously wont work but as it currently stands 096 breaches are treated as a walk in the park, you go grab scrambles and a bucket then it's dealt with. For a person waiting hours upon hours to breach just for it to end in mere minutes isn't fair nor fun. If you add a system to make it harder and more lore accurate it would inturn make the role quite a lot more enjoyable. There is a system in place to disable immediate bucketing of 096 however if a blast door is closed the timer would have already ticked down inbefore 096 even got remotely close to its target, which could be like two people that accidentally looked at its picture. If 096 gets bucketed within the time of reaching their target the breach would more or less already be over.

Suggestion Partially Approved



Hi @Alex Bones ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to partially accept your suggestion for the following reasons.

We don't think the 2-second hover is a good idea to implement with the current 096 However, we did decide to change the system regarding putting on a bucket on 096, this being done by implementing a Chance system.

Refer to the ticket for a more in-depth Look. Keep in mind that all of this is still subject to change for balancing etc

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as partially accepted.​
