Z-283-PINKIE, codenamed "Pinkie" is a monster in Pressure, acting as a rare threat found in the Hadal Blacksite and a variant of The Angler.

Appearance

Pinkie appears as a heavily malformed purple-pink face, with numerous sharp, thin teeth and two pupils in each eye socket, as well as an anglerfish esca that lights up a small area around her. Her features are distorted, with her open mouth taking up the majority of her face. Pinkie is constantly obscured by a thick dark smoke, concealing everything aside from her face. Pinkie's face will always be facing the player, regardless of where they view her.

Mechanics

Pinkie has a chance to spawn if the player's current or previous room has a valid hiding spot. Unlike other node monsters, nearby electronics do not flicker when Pinkie advances. When Pinkie is close enough to the player she will start screeching loudly, signaling for players to hide.

Pinkie's raycast goes towards the players head, and will not kill anyone whos head is fully submerged.

When Pinkie rushes through the room, all players in her line of sight will be instantly killed. Players who hide in time or escape Pinkie's line of sight before she passes through will be safe.

Notes

  • After a player spends a set amount of time in a room, there is a chance for Pinkie or any other node monster to spawn. This is called a timer spawn.
  • Pinkie has different audio cues compared to Angler with Pinkie's audio cues playing considerably earlier, making it easier to know if Pinkie is attacking.
  • Pinkie screams will not be muffled in the Flooded Rooms.
  • Pinkie, just like Pandemonium, will not break lights nor trigger Good People doors.

The Ridge

For more information, see: The Ridge

Pinkie will spawn more frequently in the ridge. Players are forced to rely on sound alone to know when Pinkie is coming. Her sound cues happen earlier while attacking in The Ridge, giving players more time to react.

Strategy

The best way to avoid Pinkie's is to hide before she rushes through the room. Make sure to not hide too early, or you will be forced out of your hiding spot due to cleithrophobia. As Pinkie does not cause the lights to flicker before she passes, it is incredibly crucial to listen closely for any potential attacks.

Pinkie uses a raycasting hitbox to create her line of sight, so hiding in places that cover your character completely (including office cubicles, separate hallways, and vents) will work in evading Pinkie.
