Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Usage Guide
The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial tool in Phasmophobia, aiding in ghost detection through sound. This guide details its unlocking and effective use.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
This optional equipment requires specific player levels to unlock its three tiers:
- Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7. Purchase from the in-game shop.
- Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31. Upgrade cost: $3,000.
- Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72. Upgrade cost: $5,000.
Prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. Up to two microphones can be equipped per player, regardless of party size.
Using the Parabolic Microphone
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the in-game truck's equipment wall. Activate/deactivate it using the appropriate button. Tier 3 features a directional radar for sound source pinpointing.
Effective Use Strategies:
- Ghost Location Tracking: On medium/large maps, the microphone helps locate ghosts by detecting their sounds (e.g., object throwing, door movement, voice).
- Optional Objectives: Completing objectives requiring ghost voice recording is simplified.
- Ghost Identification: Unique sounds from ghosts like the Deogen or Banshee are only detectable with this microphone.
