Unlocking and Mastering the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia offers a range of equipment to aid in ghost hunting, and the Parabolic Microphone stands out as a particularly useful tool. This guide details how to unlock and effectively utilize this crucial piece of equipment.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment; it's not included in your starting loadout. To acquire it, you must reach specific player levels:
- Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7.
- Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31, costing $3,000 to upgrade.
- Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72, costing $5,000 to upgrade.
Purchases are made through the in-game shop. Remember that prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can equip up to two microphones regardless of party size.
Using the Parabolic Microphone
To use the microphone, equip it from the truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. A button toggle activates/deactivates it. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.
The Parabolic Microphone is invaluable on larger maps, providing auditory ghost location tracking. It detects sounds like object throwing, door movements, and ghostly voices. It can also help complete optional objectives requiring voice recordings and identifying ghosts like the Deogen or Banshee through their unique audio signatures.
In conclusion, mastering the Parabolic Microphone significantly enhances your ghost-hunting capabilities in Phasmophobia. Check The Escapist for more Phasmophobia guides and news.
