Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Utilization
The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial piece of optional equipment in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding in ghost hunting. This guide details its unlocking and effective use.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone:
This equipment isn't initially available. You must reach specific 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.
Remember, prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can equip up to two microphones regardless of party size.
Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone:
Equip the microphone from the in-game truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. Use the appropriate button to activate/deactivate it. Tier 3 features a directional radar.
On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone is invaluable for locating ghosts through sound cues (e.g., thrown objects, door movements, ghostly whispers). It can also help complete optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable with this device, aiding in identification.
