Yeah, I think there should be a 1:5 chance that instead of snapping your neck, he'll straighten you towards him and you'll slowly start to lose air, the screen will blur, and you'll die, like that of the 895 death.
so SCP-173 must also have movable arms

That would be kinda cool, and scary. What if you had a stick that you could wack 173 with every time he spontaneously appears in your face. I just think that would be hilarious.

Might as well use a rolled-up newspaper instead. It'd have the same effect.

What needs to be fixed is the 'spawn right in front or on top of you' issue. Regalis mentioned somewhere I can't remember that 173's code causes him to teleport to you if he's too far away, but surely it is simple enough to fix?

But one thing: The gas timed door room, is it just me, or does anyone else find it hard to tell which end of the room he is actually in? I can't tell which direction I come in from.

Look at it from the camera's perspective. If you can see The Sculpture quite clearly in the corner, that means it's in the corner closest to the switch. If you can just see the top of it from the camera, it's in the far end corner. The camera is always situated in the far corner of the lockroom.

Hold on, lemme make and pass a screenshot...

I know right!

I disagree. I love it when the sculptor spontaneously appears right in my face. What a great scare!

The problem with the "173 jumpscares in your face" thing is that it has been done to death since day 1 of the first Containment Breach release :D
After all this time I suppose it's only natural that people would start thinking about other possibilities for 173. I mean, he's been around for a while... and things have quieted down around it, pretty much.

I do admit it's getting a little redundant; nonetheless, it's still a hell of a lot better than just finding him in a lockroom. Maybe if he had appeared a room ahead or behind you. This would make him scarier than before!

I think the problem with 173 appearing behind you is the simple fact that you'd have to turn around VERY quickly or DIE :D
So yeah, hence most people loving the "in your face!" jumpscares he does.

Well.. that and 173 just floating up stairs or getting stuck in the ceiling. Very stylish :D

And flying up in the air like just after the intro sequence in the room2closets.
