Every time I play SCP:CB, I always go to the HCZ through the pocket dimension. Is this the only way into it before containing SCP-008, or is there another way?

To get to the HCZ, (Heavy Containment Zone) you must find an hallway room in the LCZ (Light Containment Zone) with an keycard door and an sign saying for authorized personnel only. You will know you found this room when an loading text appears right when you enter it. You will require an Level 3 Key Card to enter in it. When entering it, climb up the stairs to an room with alot of monitors of security cameras which shows nearly every room in the facility. After entering it, (or getting close enough to it) you will trigger an event in which SCP-049 will appear outside the room and start climbing the stairs. You must quickly turn an lever OFF to the right of the room and hide behind the desk at the center of the room.

After some time, SCP-049 will leave and you're free to go. Sometimes, a bug might happen and he will stay outside the room, so it's recommended to get SCP-714 (the green ring) first. After you leave the room, go to an checkpoint (an large room with signs saying "Heavy Containment Zone") and use an Level 3 Key Card on the keypad. If you have done everything correctly, an loud beep should be heard and the doors leading to the HCZ should open. Some checkpoints can be dead ends so you must find the right ones.

Thanks a ton, I thought it was required to go into SCP-106's pocket dimension!
