Pressure — Before your first run

The hardest badges require all eight players to escape without a single death, disconnect, or departure. Any one of those events cancels badge progress instantly, which is why preparation before the run matters as much as skill during it. Groups use shorthand terms to communicate quickly; learning them before you queue is essential.

1. Agree on roles assign each person a specific job before the run starts so nobody overlaps or leaves a gap
2. Check connections every player needs a stable internet connection; one dropout resets badge progress for everyone
3. Learn the callouts SS means safe spot (angler-safe only), PSS means pandemonium safe spot (safe from both anglers and Pandemonium), CL means claim locker, and KC means keycard found
4. Follow leader calls MU means move up to where leaders direct; only move when the call comes
5. Track Mr. Lopee when someone calls a number followed by X (for example 2X), that is the door count until Mr. Lopee spawns
6. Use pandemonium safe spots during Pandemonium encounters a regular safe spot does not protect you from Pandemonium

You do not need to go through the whole game alone. The trick is to reach the final area with other players still alive, then let them die one by one before Lucy stomps the last Searchlight. Once every other player is gone, finish the escape normally.

1. Play normally with at least four players until you reach the end of the game
2. Let the other players die before Lucy stomps the final Searchlight do not rush them out
3. Once you are the only one left alive, complete the escape as usual to unlock the badge
