How to Deal with the Skip for SCP: 5K on Xbox Series X (XboxSX)

SCP 7528, the questioned skip, is a nasty cognitohazard, which means it affects those who look at it. If you pay attention to the bodies strung up all around, you may have noticed the "explosive" outcomes.

The primary danger posed by this skip is that it can jump between screens, which means it follows its prey and cannot be contained in a single space.

The skip's biggest risk and weakest point are both related to the fact that it is a visual cognitohazard. 

To not get killed by it, you simply look down or away from the screen, and it can’t hurt you unless it's in the projector room, where it can kill you if you get too close to the big screen.

The constant loud buzzing sound it makes when it jumps a screen lets you know where it is. Do not worry; just because something is close to you does not mean it can harm you (unless you look at it, in which case you are screwed).

You can move freely throughout the rooms without worrying that you will perish in the Skip once you turn off the power to the Education Center, which keeps the Skip contained.

Fighting the Skip can be made much simpler by:

• Forming teams to collect codes. It can only be in one place at a time and concentrate on a single person until they pass away. However, I only advise doing this in spacious lobbies because it makes it much simpler to plan and sneak past security with more people.
• Making sure every door is open. This will make it much simpler for your teammates to follow you and return to where they were before they died. It will also make it much simpler for you to move around.
• Using maps. While it may appear to be a maze (in some ways, it is), there are maps at every intersection that can help you avoid getting lost.
• Finding cover. If you see the skip, do not panic and pull the trigger on the screen; instead, quickly find cover and wait until your screen returns to normal.
