statue from SCP-5000

[placid cedar]

Add a statue from SCP-5000, which is mentioned in JOURNAL ENTRY 0001-11.
The description of this statue should also be taken from JOURNAL ENTRY 0001-11:
"They're statues, statues of soldiers - MTF uniforms - with empty sockets for eyes. Their arms are carved into blades, like what you'd see on a praying mantis or something. They're harmless as long as you look at them. But the second you look away, they can move - and they're fast. Saw one cut through an entire crowd of people when a gust of smoke blocked it from view for just a second."
This will make the gameplay and mechanics more interesting for the player.

seems like it would just be a reskin of 173 in terms of mechanics, but i guess there would be more?

[placid cedar]

Yes, there will be more of them.

[lucid garnet]

so pretty much a more annoying version of 173

but this does remind me to reread SCP-5000

i mentioned it before a long time ago, but it would be a very economical enemy to add into the game because 173 is already implemented

the devs could just recycle those elements and make these enemies killable and appear in multiple instances, thus distinguishable from 173

if there was a chapter that required you to look in certain directions (potentially within the 7528 section) while also having to deal with these 173-like grunts, that would be a very frightening experience

this is the end of the game cuz 5K is backstory of the original

[cosmic path]

Likely won't be seeing these guys. The game is but isn't a backstory. It's more of a timeline branch after the original story ends and the timeline resets

And there are differences

[tender lodge]

It's a very good move for artistic deviations from history)

[quick spruce]

They already don't have enough map areas to add 173-B into to make it feel like an actual part of the game, and they have a second variant planned, so it wouldn't be very economical in that sense

Anything like 173 needs to have entire sections of the map to itself

[lucid garnet]

maybe if you could destroy it it might be interesting

keep you on your toes

[next dagger]

in the case of 173 (indestructible) then yes, you need dedicated map segments; however if you could kill these weird MTF things then it wouldn't need to be dedicated

[quick spruce]

It was pretty clear in the article that these were the same as if not more powerful than 173
