Blue Streak

Blue Streak is a Prototype Augment. When the player is hit after obtaining this Prototype, they will take no damage but lose all available nuts. Lost nuts are scattered in all directions, and vanish after 3 seconds if the player doesn't pick them up. If the player takes damage without any nuts, they instead take 99990 damage, usually killing them instantly. All nuts spawned when the player gets hit are small nut pickups.

With, if the player has over 50 nuts when they take damage, they will only drop 50 of them.

Collecting will cause the player to take standard damage if they get hit without any nuts, instead of instantly dying.
