Be an SCP or Guard Update Timeline

This timeline tracks Be an SCP or Guard from its Roblox launch through major content beats players reference in lobbies. Dates group community-facing milestones; exact Roblox version strings may differ by hours due to platform rollout.

For narrative patch breakdowns, read Patch Notes. For beginner impact, see Getting Started. The experience remains online multiplayer on Roblox with release status: released.

January 2026

31 Jan 2026 — Official release

• Be an SCP or Guard by insanepfgb goes public on place 121461214257813 (universe 9655781693).
• Core playable SCPs at launch focus: SCP-173, SCP-096, SCP-106, SCP-457, SCP-049, SCP-035.
• Guard security roles anchor the human faction with ranged containment tools.
• Facility maps emphasize choke points, vertical sightlines, and round-based PvP.
• SCP-173 zones ship with flashing light environmental cues highlighting blink-rule risk.
• Online public matchmaking becomes the default way to play; private servers follow Roblox norms.
• Wiki tracks no verified promo codes at release—see Active Codes.

February 2026

Early February — Stability and polish week

• Collision fixes near doors and stairs reduce SCP-106 and SCP-096 geometry traps.
• Mobile HUD scaling improves ability button placement for SCP-457 and guard gadgets.
• SCP-096 scream audio gains clearer directional mix for nearby defenders.
• SCP-173 flashing-light timing adjusted for readability and comfort without removing threat.
• No new characters; fundamentals in tutorials and Getting Started stay valid with minor UI differences.

Mid-February — MTF update

• Mobile Task Force (MTF) faction joins matchmaking with distinct loadouts from standard guards.
• Mid-match reinforcement flow changes round pacing—SCP teams adapt to staggered human pushes.
• Utility gear interacts with sightline-heavy metas, especially around SCP-173 arenas.
• Secondary spawn routes open to reduce MTF doorway pileups.
• SCP-106 pocket visuals clarify boundary edges after fairness feedback.
• Community PvP clips shift from pure guard stacks to mixed MTF coordination strategies.
• Patch Notes covers role-specific counters in detail.

Late February — SCP-966 debut

• SCP-966 enters the playable anomaly roster with stealth and sleep-pressure mechanics.
• Darker map wings receive subtle lighting tweaks so legitimate players catch audio-visual tells.
• Guard solo pathing becomes riskier; team play and MTF callouts gain value.
• Performance passes mitigate VFX load when multiple anomalies clash in one round.
• Speedrunners of anomaly unlocks adjust routes because 966 rewards map knowledge over raw aim.

March 2026

Early March — SCP-682 debut

• SCP-682 launches as a durable frontline SCP aimed at late-round pushes.
• Charge attacks telegraph longer windups; tight corridors cap effectiveness to reduce spawn trapping feel.
• Interactions with SCP-173 flashing zones and SCP-049 plague routes reshape team compositions.
• Mobile clients receive hotfixes for ragdoll and large-model stress after big team fights.
• Tank strategies integrate with existing roster—682 anchors while 096 or 457 apply burst pressure.

Mid-March — Live balance and economy pass

• New player progression curves flatten so missing MTF week feels less punishing.
• SCP-457 flame spread respects tighter vent boundaries after community clips showed overreach.
• SCP-035 possession stunlock trimmed on mobile touch inputs.
• Public server anti-stall timers encourage decisive round endings when guards turtle objectives.
• Still no confirmed active promo codes; watch Codes Hub after future events.

July 2026

Late July — Live maintenance window

• Official Roblox page title emphasizes SCP-682 while community trackers still reference the 966 UPDATE branding.
• Live roster confirmation remains eight playable SCPs: 173, 096, 106, 457, 049, 035, 966, and 682.
• Server restart = update or bug fix remains the developer rule of thumb.
• Wiki adds deeper role pages for SCP-966, SCP-106, SCP-049, SCP-457, SCP-035, plus How to Contain SCPs and Facility Map.
• Still no verified active promo codes at the time of this row.

Platform context across the timeline

Roblox engine updates occasionally land independently of insanepfgb patches. If only Roblox maintenance occurred, gameplay may feel laggy without any row above changing—check Roblox status before grinding rank.

Online coop expectations stayed constant: teams coordinate containment or breaches in shared servers, not offline bots. Each content drop tested scalability on high player counts during weekend peaks after MTF and 682 marketing bumps.

What likely comes next

Roadmap hints from community dev interactions—not leaked builds—suggest more anomaly variety, cosmetic monetization aligned with Roblox policies, and seasonal events. Expect balance follow-ups whenever a new SCP skews win rates above fifty percent in aggregated lobby stats.

When new rows appear, we extend this timeline the same week Patch Notes updates. Promo campaigns may coincide with milestones; verify strings on How to Redeem Codes instead of trusting rumor posts.

Using this history effectively

Pick your return date if you stopped playing: pre-MTF guards learn reinforcement timings; pre-966 players learn stealth counters; pre-682 lobbies lacked a true frontline tank.

Compare personal stats only after identifying which rows landed since you quit—SCP damage values from launch week no longer reflect March tuning.

Competitive groups annotate scrim dates against this table so VOD review matches the correct movement speeds and ability cooldowns.
