Craft specialized capture devices and study how Deviations appear across the world to successfully secure each one you encounter.

How to Capture Deviations in Deviation: SCP Scenario

Awaken Deviation Abilities

Having broken free from the Cradle, Deviations will now travel and fight alongside you as lively companions! Whether in exploration, combat, or territory work, each Deviation has unique abilities that you must unleash to their full potential!

Deviation SCP Tips and Tricks to Do First

Engage in Deviation Battles

Challenge the NPC-run arenas, or go head-to-head with other Metas in thrilling real-time matches! The key to victory isn't strength, but your bond with your Deviations!

Deviation Fusion

How to Fuse Deviation: Deviation Fusion Explained

New Combat Deviations

Once Human - New Deviations Deviants
New Combat Deviations: Whalepup, Soul Summoners, Zapamander, and Director Fox are now available.

Optimizations Based on Early Access Feedback

Optimizations Based on Early Access Feedback
1. The Symbiosis Level cap has increased from 5 to 10, and early level progression now requires far less Deviation Value. Memetics now unlock based on Symbiosis Level rather than scenario phase.

2. Updated how Deviation Value is calculated. Deviation Value now increases with Deviation Level, and the base value for Grade S Deviations has been reduced.

3. Updated the names and levels of Gyms in Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve.

4. Improved icon display for Gyms and Arenas on the world map; added a new details screen that allows you to view enemy lineups and rewards.

5. Added an icon above Deviations summoned through wishes at the Wishing Statue.

6. Added a new side story task, Call of Chaos. After completing the side story task Mastery of Securement, you can accept this task by entering the Wish Arena.

7. The store functionality for each leader will be unlocked after successfully challenging the respective leader.

Adjustments to Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve Vision Mechanics

Vision Tag S2 Lunar Revelry will be adapted for Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve. The rules are as follows:

Optimizations Based on Early Access Feedback
In this scenario, the mod system is disabled. To ensure Metas can still obtain mod rewards related to the vision gameplay, the following changes will be made:

1. Lunar Loot Crates will no longer yield Lunar & Crescent Mod Selection Crates. They are replaced with a fixed amount of Lunar Whispers.

2. Metas can go to Events > Visional Wheel > Lunatic Medley > Redeem to exchange Lunar Whispers for the Lunar & Crescent Mod Selection Crate. This exchange is available only in the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario. The Lunar & Crescent Mod Selection Crate can be used in other scenarios.
Visional Deviations Adjustments
Due to the high rating of original Visional Deviations, the previous acquisition methods negatively affected the pacing of the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario. The following adjustments have been made:

1. Visional Deviations with the Lunar Oracle attribute will no longer appear in Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario. The original acquisition channels, including Lunar Loot Crates in the wilderness, Lunarspawns, and Lord of Moonlight drops, are replaced with Lunar Oracle Mutagens corresponding to each deviation.

2. In the Visional Wheel > Shop of the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario, the original Starfall Inversion Visional Deviation Selection Gift Pack has been replaced with a Starfall Inversion Attribute Mutagen Selection Gift Pack.

3. Metas can use Mutagens in this scenario to fuse Deviations, allowing them to obtain the Lunar Oracle attribute or the Starfall Inversion attribute.

4. Lunar Oracle Mutagens and Starfall Inversion Mutagens cannot be taken outside the scenario. The Lunar Oracle attribute and the Starfall Inversion attribute cannot be transferred through fusion.
Visional Combat Adjustments
Special enemies in the visional mode Lunar Revelry, including basic visional enemies in the wilderness, Lunarspawns, and the Lord of Moonlight, have had their difficulty adjusted to fit the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario.

Server Launch Schedule

Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve Server Launch Schedule
1. Added Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve - Visional Wheel S2 Lunar Revelry Server. After this update, scenario servers with the Visional Wheel S2 - Lunar Revelry tag will open. You can view the server launch schedule on the Scenario Sign-up interface to plan ahead.
2. All existing early access scenario servers for Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve are automatically converted to official servers. Scenario progress will continue without interruption.
3. The Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario server will remain active for 28 days. After the scenario concludes, the server will remain online for an additional 14 days before Metas transfer to the permanent server.
4. The first batch of permanent servers for Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve will launch across all regions on November 3 at 8:00 local server time.

2. The occurrence of a Dream Zone Invasion depends on the number of Dreamers defeated.

5. Explosive Tactical Items are especially effective in invasion zones.

Optimizations

Combat
1. Added new Blueprint Collection rewards and increased the maximum rewards you can earn. Some earlier rewards will move into Mitsuko's Mark Shop for exchange.

2. We continue to roll out planned balance updates. The October 29 update (PT) includes the following adjustments:
1) Savior Set improvement: When the shield amount stays above 40%, landing shots will refresh the shield and damage buff duration without reducing any HP.
2) Outer Space enhancement: Upon hitting a target affected by Power Surge 12 times, summon lightning on the target to deal Shock Elemental DMG of 500% (previously 300%) Psi Intensity (40% DMG to players).
After these adjustments, we will continue monitoring each build's effectiveness and usage rates to assess whether further adjustments are necessary.
To ensure a smooth transition, we will issue Blueprint Conversion Attempt ×3 to all players after this update.

3. Bullet Trajectory Improvements: We updated bullet behavior. Long-range shots still travel and drop over distance, while short-range hits feel faster and more responsive.
1) We added a new instant-hit range to almost all guns except shotguns and a few special weapons. Within this range, bullets hit the target immediately and ignore bullet speed or drop. The range is about 15 meters, although the exact distance depends on the weapon type. (Shown as the blue straight line in the image below.)
2) Beyond that instant-hit range, bullets continue to fly as physical projectiles, so they still take time to travel and will drop over distance. Long-range shots remain challenging, but bullets now drop slightly less than before. (Shown as the green curve in the image below.)

4. Jumping while aiming will no longer trigger climbing, so your firing rhythm stays smooth during combat.
5. You can now swing melee weapons while jumping.
Vehicles
You can now use medicine, drinks, and food while sitting in any passenger seat of a vehicle.
Social
Improved private chat to make it much easier to reach your friends:
1) You can now start a private chat instantly by @mentioning any online friend in Chat > Private. After receiving a message, you can reply directly or @mention them again.
2) You can now pin up to 6 friends using the Pin button on their namecard. After that, open a private chat instantly through the Enter interface or by pressing their avatar, whether they are online or not.
Squad recruitment messages now show across your entire scenario, not just within the same server.
Shop
1. Improved the color of some parts on the female version of the Dreamsilver: Nocturne set.
2. The cosmetics screen now includes a catalog for weapons and vehicles.
3. Photo mode now includes new character lighting options.
4. Character facial expressions look more natural during idle animations.
5. A cooldown display now appears for Steam purchases to prevent repeated orders during network delays.
Events
We optimized the event tab organization to improve navigation. Your event participation and benefits will not be affected.
Squad Sign-up
1. Added a new squad recruitment screen:
1) It shows squad sign-up information and suggests squads that match your preferences.
2) You can browse and join other squads.
2. Simplified the squad creation process. After creating a squad, a dedicated squad group chat becomes available so communication is easier.
Deviation
1. After you defeat or obtain a Deviation, its distribution shows directly in the Symbiosis Field Guide or on the World Map.
2. In Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve only: hold E during summoning to select and recover specific Deviations using the radial menu.
Report
Improved the search function in the report screen. It now supports fuzzy name search with even a single character or letter and shows matching report entries.
Other
1. Improved material and dismantlable item info so you can directly see what materials you get after dismantling.
2. The item info screen now includes a quick button that jumps to chat and lets you @V to ask about how to acquire that item.
3. The custom material list now pins owned materials at the top by default and supports filtering and sorting.
