Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Utilizing this Essential Ghost-Hunting Tool
The Parabolic Microphone is a valuable asset in your Phasmophobia ghost-hunting arsenal. This guide details how to unlock and effectively use this optional equipment to pinpoint even the most elusive spirits.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone isn't included in your starting equipment. To acquire it, you must reach specific player levels:
- Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7. Purchase it from the in-game shop.
- Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31. Upgrade costs $3,000.
- Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72. Upgrade costs $5,000.
Remember, prestiging your character resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again.
Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone
Before each investigation, equip the Parabolic Microphone from the in-game shop to add it to your loadout. In Challenge Mode, it might not be automatically included.
Once in the game, select the microphone from the truck's equipment wall. Turn it on/off using the designated button. Tier 3 features a directional radar to pinpoint sound sources.
The Parabolic Microphone is especially helpful on larger maps. It detects various ghost sounds: object throwing, door movements, and vocalizations. This aids in locating the ghost and potentially completing optional objectives requiring voice recordings. Specific ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable by this microphone, aiding in identification.
Phasmophobia is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Check The Escapist for more guides and news!
