Z-V06, codenamed "Puddles of Void-Mass" are hostile monsters in Pressure, acting as a common threat found in the Hadal Blacksite.

Appearance

Puddles of Void-Mass are masses of a sentient black slime-like substance that takes various forms. Void Puddles can commonly be found in lockers with two glowing eyes that peer through the locker vent and constantly stare at the player. It also has several long, black tentacles with glowing suction cups that it uses to drag a player into a locker. Puddles of Void-Mass can also occasionally be found hiding behind partially opened dead-end doors.

The glowing bits found on the Puddles of Void-Mass are most commonly a purple color, however they can also rarely be found in red, green, and yellow colors as well.

Mechanics

Puddles of Void-Mass are found randomly in lockers. If a player enters a locker inhabited by a Void-Mass Puddle, they will be trapped inside and slowly take damage until they are saved by another player or die. In singleplayer runs, being captured by a Puddle of Void-Mass will instantly kill the player.

Notes

• In multiplayer runs, lockers with a player stuck inside a Puddle of Void-Mass will be highlighted in purple, signaling for other players to come and save them.
• When a player is saving someone from a locker containing a Void-Mass Puddle, it will show them struggling to pull the trapped player out. After a few seconds of struggling, they will heave them out over their head and collapse on the floor, then get up.
  • This rescue animation can result in the saved player being thrown into hazards such as pits and fire, which can be lethal.
• Void-Mass lockers can be used by players to survive Angler encounters in multiplayer games, albeit at the risk of losing health or dying.

Strategy

A locker inhabited by a Puddle of Void-Mass will have several visual and audio cues, which include:

• Glowing eyes that can seen through the locker's vent.
• A subtle "breathing" sound that can be heard when a player is close by.
• A small damp spot around the foot of the locker that makes wet footstep noises when walked on.
  • In some instances, there is a wet floor sign next to the locker that hide the fact that a Void-Mass is present.

Void Mass will instantly kill a player in singleplayer, so it is recommended to use the utmost caution when choosing a locker to hide in. In multiplayer, it is recommended to stay close to one's teammates, so that if a player does end up getting pulled into a Void Locker, they can be rescued with as little damage as possible.

Trivia

• Void-Mass Puddles can sometimes be seen behind broken doors with their eyes visible. These variants cannot attack the player.
  • Previously, the red, green, and yellow colored Void-Mass Puddle variants could only be found behind dead-end doors. This was changed on the September 2nd update, when Void-Mass Lockers were given the ability to come in different colors.
• Void-Mass dissolves in water.
• The idea for Void Lockers came from one of Zeal's dreams, wherein he had opened a locker while playing Doors and got pulled into a void landscape by many arms.
  • The idea also came from YourFriendZeal's younger sister.
