Security & Secret Agent — July 2026 Rework

Animal Hospital Security and Secret Agent class rework: Deployable Camera, Scanner, Gun loadouts, tier shifts after Harlow's Favorite Update.

Last updated: 2026-07-12

What Changed July 2026

Harlow's Favorite Update reworked Security and Secret Agent alongside new class visuals. Security Levels 2–3 now start each Shift with Deployable Camera plus X-Taser. Secret Agent Level 1 starts with Scanner plus Gun.

Pre-patch Security was Taser insurance; Secret Agent was Gun DPS. July loadouts add detection tools — both classes climb pub utility for Shift 7+ without displacing Surgeon heal meta.

Cosmetic skin reworks for all classes ship same patch — see tier-list/skins; passives discussed here.

Security Class After Rework

L1: baseline Taser — unchanged entry. L2–3: Deployable Camera + Taser each Shift start. Place camera covering check-in blind spots before patient one.

Taser: Ghost disappear, Skinwalker stun, lower Sanity cost than Gun. Console-friendly per controls/console.

Tier placement: A-tier pub Shift 7+ float or desk-support; was B-tier insurance pre-July.

Secret Agent After Rework

L1: Scanner + Gun every Shift. Scanner red on symptomatic anomalies; Gun for conversions and Ghost.

Robux gate still applies — value proposition rises for players who desk with Agent. Not required for F2P clears.

Tier: A-tier for Robux squads needing detection + DPS single slot; skill floor higher than Security.

Co-op Team Compositions

July meta squad: Surgeon runner, Doctor desk heal support, Security L2+ with camera+Taser float, Paramedic bay. Replace Doctor with desk main if Security owns deployable coverage.

Secret Agent replaces Security when Robux player masters Scanner-Gun cycle. Avoid double combat without healer.

Ghost July meta: at least one Taser or Gun — Security fulfills both deploy and stun.

F2P vs Robux Priority

F2P unlock order unchanged: Surgeon → Doctor/Paramedic → Security unlock for L2 camera → ignore Secret Agent unless purchased.

Head Nurse Robux still competes with Agent for premium support slot — heal passive vs combat detection choose per squad style.

Stalker and Scanner Synergy

July Stalker update: may appear at check-in — photograph to dismiss. Deployable Camera angles help; Scanner confirms other patients while Stalker occupies attention.

See enemies/stalker for behavior update details.

Rework Summary

July 2026 Security L2+ Deployable Camera + Taser. Secret Agent L1 Scanner + Gun. Both A-tier utility Shift 7+. F2P Security path valuable. Cross-read items/deployable-camera items/scanner enemies/stalker tier-list/ skins.

Practical note for tier-list/security-agent (tip 1): before ending a Shift, confirm every patient in the rooms related to this guide is either discharged or still recovering on a bed.
