=Description=
'''SCP-173''' is one of the {{PlayableSCPs}} playable [[SCPs|SCP]] classes in ''SCP: Secret Laboratory''. 
SCP-173 is a sculpture that is able to move at high speeds, but when looked at, will come to a complete stop. 
SCP-173 acts as an assassin class SCP, meant to quickly hunt down and eliminate a single target or small groups.

=In Game=
SCP-173 will spawn in its containment cell in [[Light Containment Zone]]. SCP-173 can't leave his cell right away as it is locked, to allow [[Class-D]] and [[Scientist]] some time to explore. After a short amount of time SCP-173 can leave his cell to begin killing humans in and around LCZ. SCP-173 can be controlled with {{key Press|W|A|S|D|chain=}} to move, and {{key Press|Spacebar}} to jump, though 173's jump height is very low.

When SCP-173 isn't being observed, they can press {{key Press|Leftclick}} to snap player's necks. When being looked at, SCP-173 will cease all movement, a at which point, SCP-173 can use their Blink ability. This is done by holding {{key Press|Rightclick}}, which allow SCP-173 to charge up the ability. After it fully charges up, SCP-173 will see to show where they teleport to. The player then must release {{key Press|Rightclick}} to teleport, this will force humans to blink and kill the nearest human if they are in-range of where SCP-173 teleported to. The charge up time for the Blink ability changes depending on the amount of players looking at SCP-173. By default the time is three seconds, with one additional second added with each player looking at SCP-173. The timer will only factor in players looking at SCP-173 at the start of the countdown. Time will not be added to the timer while it is counting down.

Holding down {{key Press|Shift}} will make SCP-173 move a lot faster and have a large blink distance, but be unable to kill players. This is useful to escape a sticky situation or move around the map quickly. This mode ends when the player let's go of {{key Press|Shift}}. It also ends if SCP-173 is spotted, with a ten second of grace period where the ability is still activated. The ability has a 40 second cooldown.

Pressing the {{key Press|F}} key will make SCP-173 leave filth on the ground. This will give players the Stained Effect which reduces movement speed by 20% and makes players unable to sprint. After leaving the pool of filth, the Stained effect will last for three seconds before going away. If SCP-173 kills someone while they are under the effect, they will gain 100 [[Hume Shield]]. Tesla Gates will destroy nearby filth.

SCP-173 has bullet resistance similar to SCP-106, but unlike SCP-106, the bullet resistance isn't as high and the damage taken is based on the penetration of the weapon. Weapons with lower penetration will deal less damage than weapons with higher penetration.

SCP-173 can talk to the other SCPs by holding down the {{key Press|Q}} key. This voice chat can be heard by all SCPs no matter the distance.

At Tier 2, [[SCP-079]] can Blackout a room for 60 AP, allowing SCP-173 to freely move.
This can be countered with the [[Flashlight|Flashlights]] such as the item or attachment or by using the Night Vision attachment.
