-Item Description"

The Weapon Manager (otherwise known as Tablet), is a utility item in SCP: Secret Laboratory, which provides a slew of abilities depending on where it is used.

In-Game

Statistics

The Weapon Manager Tablet can display the statistics for each weapon. Values such as effective damage or fire rate are also taken into account for the current attachments a player has equipped to their weapons.

To see weapon statistics, the Weapon Manager Tablet must be equipped. Any button must be pressed once the screen tells you to do so. After pressing any button, a interface will appear. The arrow keys are used to navigate the interface, separate from the default Movement keys to allow the player to keep moving while using the tablet.

Dropping Ammo

The Weapon Manager Tablet can also let the player drop all three ammo types.

To drop ammo, the Weapon Manager Tablet must be equipped. The player must then enter the Weapon Statistics interface and select a weapon that uses the ammo type they want to drop. After the weapon with the desired ammo type is chosen, the player must press the right arrow key to enter the ammo drop screen. A minimum of 15 rounds must be placed into a packet, but more rounds can be stored into a single drop at a time, up to the maximum current ammo of the player. The up and down arrow keys will let the player select how much ammo they want to drop. Pressing the Right arrow key will drop a packet of ammo onto the ground with the chosen amount.

Workstations

While carrying weapon manager inside their inventory, players can interact with workstations to place their table onto the workstation. When the tablet makes contact, its own screen changes to state "Workstation detected". The large upper screen loads up and allows the player to start customizing their active weapon with attachments.

Attachments are often positive enhancements to one's weapons, allowing for greater overall performance often at the cost of giving up other attachments and their positive boons. Some provide completely positive bonuses, while others also incur some downsides to compensate for their upsides. Some are purely for convenience or aesthetic, causing no stat changes, like the flashlight or ammo counter. The percentage multipliers are displayed on the large screen when they are selected.

When the player is done editing their weapons, they can eject the tablet by pressing the action button on the table to have it return to their inventory. If the player attempts this with all eight of their inventory slots filled, they cannot remove the tablet from the table.

SCP-079 and Generators

Weapon Managers can be used to activate generators as a way to re-contain SCP-079 by overcharging it's auxiliary power. When a generator's doors are opened by a keycard with Tier 2 Armory access, the weapon manager tablet will be inserted into the generator itself to start the countdown sequence. The weapon manager itself updates its screen to read "Emergency Power Control Station Detected" for the duration it is plugged in.

Once the countdown is complete, the generator is activated the tablet is ejected from its port. Alternatively, pressing a large red button inside the generator while it is counting down will instantly eject the tablet, stopping the sequence until a tablet is plugged back in to start the countdown from where it last stopped.

Obtaining

Weapon Manager Tablets spawn on all Facility Guards and MTF ranks.

The Weapon Manager Tablet can also be made in SCP-914 by putting a Disarmer in SCP-914 on "Coarse" and a Radio on "Very Fine".
