Deviation SCP Mechanics

Capture Deviations

Capture Deviations
The main goal for this scenario is to capture deviations. Unlike other scenarios, deviations roam around the areas and will attack Metas if provoked. You can capture a deviation using Binding Capsules, which can be crafted by unlocking them in the Memetics Menu under Logistics.

You can increase the capture rate by a lot if you damage the deviation down to around 25% of their HP and tracking down their footprints.
How to Capture Deviations in Deviation: SCP Scenario

Make a Wish to Summon Stronger Deviation

Make a Wish

You can make a wish on the Wish Statues around the map to summon stronger deviations. You need to collect Wish Coins to make a wish.

Wish Statue Guide and How to Get Wish Coins

Use Deviations to Battle

Battle Other Players
Deviations can be summoned to battle roaming deviations or enemies around the map. You can also do Gym Battles against NPCs or fight other Metas through matchmaking.

Put Deviations in Isolated Securement Unit to Help in Base

The old mechanic where you can put deviations in Isolated Securement Unit still works in this scenario. This is the only way the deviations can help you in the base to defend and collect resources.

Gym Battles

Gym Battle

There are Gyms scattered across the map in this scenario. You can teleport to them and challenge them to a deviation battle.

It won't be a regular deviation battle as the Metas can fight alongside them, so make sure you are well-prepared as well!

All Gym Locations and How to Beat

Fuse Deviations

Fusion

You can fuse deviations to create a better version of the deviations fused. You will need to use up to three fusion materials, like other deviations and construction materials, to do the fusion.

You won't be able to get the materials back as they will be destroyed in the process. Note that there is also a fusion limit for each deviation.

How to Fuse Deviation: Deviation Fusion Explained

Limited Weapons and Armor Selection

Limited Armor and Weapon

You won't be able to use the usual Weapons and Armor from other scenarios. This might be due to the Metas able to fight with deviations through Gym Battles or Matchmaking.

You can obtain blueprints for winning the Gym Leader battles.

Paradise Island

You can take part in various activities on Paradise Island to earn rewards aplenty! Design custom modes, from racing, parkour, labyrinth, using the Paradise Facility, and add checkpoints, boosters, jumpers, or transformation cards.
