Blitz
Z-283-BLITZ, codenamed "Blitz" is a monster in Pressure, acting as a rare threat found in the Hadal Blacksite and a variant of The Angler.
Appearance
Blitz resembles a heavily malformed gray viperfish with numerous sharp, thin teeth and three pupils in its left eye socket. Its features are distorted, with its open mouth taking up the majority of its face. Blitz is constantly obscured by a thick dark smoke, obscuring everything aside from its face. Its face will always be facing the player, regardless of where they view it.
Mechanics
Blitz has a chance to spawn if the player's current or previous room has a valid hiding spot. When Blitz spawns, nearby electronics will flicker twice with two separate light flickering audio cues and begin advancing. As soon as Blitz reaches the room, it screeches loudly, which could be used by more experienced players as a signal to hide. Blitz moves extremely fast compared to Angler and other node monsters.
Blitz's raycast goes towards the players head, and will not kill anyone whos head is fully submerged.
Blitz is the second fastest node entity in the game, with The Multi-Monster being first place.
Notes
- After a player spends a set amount of time in a room, there is a chance for Blitz or any other node monster to spawn. This is called a timer spawn.
- Before a Blitz attack, the navi-path of the next door will flicker longer compared to Angler. Knowing this makes it easier to tell when Blitz is coming in dark rooms or while passing through a room with Eyefestation.
- Blitz has different audio cues compared to Angler, making it easier to know if Blitz is attacking.
The Ridge
Blitz will spawn more frequently in the ridge, and will not be accompanied by any visual cues. Players are forced to rely on sound alone to know when Blitz is coming. Sound cues happen earlier while Blitz is attacking in the ridge, giving players more time to react. Blitz's earlier sound cue in the ridge will not be its scream, but rather a low droning noise before it reaches the player.
Strategy
The best way to avoid Blitz is to hide before it rushes through the room. Cleithrophobia will usually give you enough time to survive Blitz, even if you hid somewhat early; as long as you hear Blitz's audio cue, cleithrophobia shouldn't kick you out by the time Blitz has passed through the room. However, hiding early is not viable for Ridge, where cleitrophobia is significantly faster. Blitz moves extremely fast compared to Angler, so be careful when timing your hiding.
Blitz uses a raycasting hitbox to create its line of sight, so hiding in places that cover your character completely (including office cubicles, separate hallways, and vents) will work in evading Blitz.
