— Description, poster

Safety Scissors are an inventory item found in the Baldi's Basics series.

Description

Safety Scissors are a pair of magenta scissors with symmetrical circular finger holes and oval-shaped plastic blades bearing a resemblance to actual safety scissors.

Usage

Currently, the item can be used in three ways by cutting, according to the description of Johnny's Store:

  • Playtime's jump rope to end her minigame. When the scissors are used on Playtime's skipping rope, her smile will turn into a frown and she will say "Oh! That makes me sad!". Playtime will not be able to play with the player for 15 seconds.
  • 1st Prize's wires to cause him to malfunction and spin for 30 seconds which prevents him from pushing the player. The malfunctioning time will be accumulated when using other Safety Scissors.
  • Beans' bubble gum to get out of it faster.

Safety Scissors should typically be used on Playtime and Beans due to them being a large obstacle - although it is also a good idea to use them on 1st Prize when absolutely necessary (for instance, if he is pushing the player towards Baldi).

The Safety Scissors item is commonly found in classrooms, faculty rooms, and the library. They can also be bought at Johnny's Store for 50 You Thought Points. It is also one of the five items that can spawn with another item (in faculty rooms), the other four being the Quarter, Dirty Chalk Eraser, Alarm Clock and Principal's Keys.

Other appearances

In all games and demos except for Baldi's Basics Plus, there is no sound when using it and cutting 1st Prize's wires only works while the player looks at him.

    In Baldi's Basics Classic, the Safety Scissors are found in three classrooms with the green, black, and cyan-colored notebook. However, the effect when using them on 1st Prize only lasts for 15 seconds.
  • In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, Safety Scissors can be found randomly in either presents or Crazy Item machines. Like in Classic, the effect on 1st Prize only lasts for 15 seconds.
  • In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the Safety Scissors can be found in the same locations as in Baldi's Basics Classic in the Classic Style. The item uses mechanics from Baldi's Basics Plus, so the malfunctioning time for 1st Prize is 30 seconds.
  • In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, the Safety Scissors are unused in the game, but found in the game code.


Trivia

Baldi's Basics Plus

  • PST HNT Scissors
    There is a poster that explains what the Safety Scissors do, saying that they are used to cut paper, jumpropes, robots, and homework. While the usage of cutting jumpropes and robots was confirmed, the rest are not.
  • When Beans was first introduced in Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, using the Safety Scissors after getting hit by his bubble gum would not work. Since Baldi's Basics Plus V0.1.2, Safety Scissors can now be used to cut Beans' bubble gum.
    • However, the bubble gum is not listed in the "scissors" poster yet.
  • In the current version, there is a chance that two Safety Scissors will spawn in the same faculty room.
  • In V0.2.1, Safety Scissors could not cut 1st Prize's wires.[1]
  • Prior to V0.2.2, in the store description, the text "jumpropes, bubble gum, and cheap wires" was usually "very specific things". It was changed in order to make it clearer to mention the use of Safety Scissors.
  • Prior to V0.3.5, the old description of the poster was:
Remember kids:
Safety scissors
are great for
cutting:
Paper
Jumpropes
Wiring
Homework
  • Prior to V0.4, the sound was not implemented and Safety Scissors could only work one thing at a time.

Glitches

Baldi's Basics Plus

  • Prior to V0.4, 1st Prize's wires could not be cut while the player was not facing at him.

Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash

  • When clicking the "Use item" button too much or early with the Safety Scissors selected while Playtime approaches, the Safety Scissors disappear yet Playtime's rope is not cut.
  • The Safety Scissors can sometimes come with an error, with a line in the middle of the sprite.

Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo

  • Using Safety Scissors will end the jump rope minigame, but it does not make Playtime sad. This was fixed in Baldi's Basics Plus V0.1.2.
