Friendly fire occurs when you attack a player on your own team. When abused, friendly fire can ruin the game experience.
Fortunately, it’s very simple to put steps in place to ease this through server configuration. Ranging from killing the player to simply banning them, SCP: Secret Laboratory gives you full friendly fire customisation.
Accessing Friendly Fire Configuration
Once you’ve located friendly fire in your configuration files, you’ll be able to toggle it on or off, set the degree of punishment, and how it’s detected, alongside dozens of configuration options.
- Navigate to your control panel, and Stop your server.
- Go to Files > FTP File Access and log in.
- Navigate to
/.config/SCP Secret Laboratory/config/<yourServersPortNumber>/and click Edit next toconfig_gameplay.txt.

#Friendly fire punishmentsection of the file.
