Press (プレス) is an attack present in every Medarot game.

Press is a gravity-based attack that uses strong forces to compress the enemy's parts and cause damage. Mechanics-wise, it works similar to the other gravity-based attack, Break.

Gravity attacks are usually ranged (using the Shoot and Snipe skills) and have the special effect of using twice the part's reported success rate. This can make gravity attacks more accurate, damaging, and likely to be critical, although the exact mechanics vary between each game. (For example, in Medarot 1 the bonus to success only affects the damage caused, and not the accuracy of the attack.)

Similar to optical or gunpowder-based attacks, gravity attacks can be countered by using parts with Negate Gravity. In Medarot 1 (and possibly other games), Break attacks will be completely negated, but the damage from Press attacks can only reduced by 3/4.

In Medarot 1, 2, R, and 2 Core, gravity attacks are compatible with the Bear Medal.
