Blacksite Pressure Guide: Three Nights of April Fools

If you're expecting the usual April Fools' game update filled with light-hearted pranks, think again. The developers of Pressure have taken a darker turn with their new game mode, Three Nights at the Blacksite, drawing heavy inspiration from Five Nights at Freddy’s. This mode is anything but humorous, and here's your comprehensive guide to surviving all three chilling nights.

If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For those versed in Pressure, you'll recognize the monsters and know how to combat them. Here's a detailed walkthrough to help you survive each night.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage displayed before you. Behind you are two doors that you can open and close, but be cautious—closing them depletes your power, and running out means game over. To fend off monsters, you can either flash them or close the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task across all three nights is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one, where Sebastian should remain. If he leaves, he'll reach you quickly and it's game over. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and periodically turn around to monitor the doors. The sound is more distinct when not in camera mode, aiding in predicting threats.

When you notice the lights flickering around 2 AM on the first night, turn around and close the doors immediately. You'll hear Angler charging down the hall. Painter's pop-ups on the camera screen can be closed and ignored as they're meant to distract you.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or at any unusual noise. Continuously browse through the camera footage and flash whenever you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras marked 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Following these tips will help you reach 6 AM and complete the first night.

Second Night Walkthrough

Until 1 AM on the second night, you won't encounter any monsters. Keep checking the cameras and flash if something seems off. If you hear strange noises, turn around and close the doors. The first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, just like the first night.

The camera footage gets dimmer around this time, making it harder to see. Cycle through all cameras frequently, focusing on those marked 1 and 2, and remember to turn around regularly.

Crooked, a new monster, appears tonight. Defend against him by closing the doors when you see him on them for a few seconds. Pay closer attention to the cameras due to increased static and more frequent pop-ups.

Just before the end of the shift at 5 AM, you'll face two Angler attacks, one on each side. The last hour is critical, so stay vigilant and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

The third night is significantly more challenging. Sebastian escapes the top camera mere seconds after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Focus on checking the cameras and turning around.

After the first Angler attack, keep the door closed for some time before reopening it. The monsters are faster and stronger now, making quick reactions crucial. You'll face four Angler attacks tonight, compared to the previous nights' first attack around 2 AM.

Following the two door attacks at around 3 AM, the night becomes even tougher. Keep your doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most challenging, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

If you lose on the third or second night, you can restart from the beginning of that night. Successfully surviving all three nights completes the event, and you'll earn the Connection Terminated badge.
