Death Press

"My proud pimps, playas, and pain purveyors. The party don't get started till somebody spikes the punch, am I right? Which is why I bring to you the muthafuckin' DEATH PRESS! So ya'll bitches better hold on to your seatbelts, 'cause somebody's about to be a muthafuckin' pancake in this piece!"

- The Black Baron

The Death Press is a Bloodbath Challenge in the DeathWatch games held on Jefferson Island. It is the first Bloodbath Challenge in the Downtown area of Varrigan City and the third Bloodbath Challenge overall.

The Challenge
The objective of the game is to toss enemies into the pit beneath the spiked press and have them crushed to death.

The crushing interval of the press is about 12 seconds; it takes 6 seconds for the press to raise itself again after a crushing, and then it remains at its highest position for about 6 more seconds.

Jack has to be careful, as touching the spikes of the press is an instant death, even if the press is in the process of raising itself.

Scoring points
Each kill with the press is worth 10,000 points. If multiple enemies are killed at once, a bonus is awarded according to the following formula:
 * $$\sum_{k=2}^n 2^{k-1}*1000$$, with $$n$$ being the amount of enemies that are killed simultaneously.

The following table shows the points awarded for the simultaneous kills in Death Press: This could theoretically go on towards infinity, but it is highly unlikely that more than five enemies are crushed in the press at once.

Multiplayer rules
In multiplayer, each enemy that is killed by the press is worth one point. There are no bonus points for combos. The points are not awarded to the one who tossed the enemy into the press, but to the one who was supposed to kill the enemy, determined by the mask the enemy was wearing (Big Bull Mask for Jack, Madam Yang for Kojack).

Trivia

 * If enough enemies are killed in the press, the blood inside the pit starts to behave like a real liquid and sloshes around.
