Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Utilizing This Essential Ghost-Hunting Tool
The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial piece of optional equipment in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding in locating even the most elusive spirits. This guide details how to unlock and effectively use this valuable tool.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone isn't initially available. It's unlocked through progression:
- 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 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 Parabolic Microphone from your truck's equipment wall before each investigation. (Note: Challenge Mode may have different loadouts.) Use the appropriate button to activate/deactivate it. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.
On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone is invaluable for pinpointing ghost locations through sound cues: object throws, door movements, and vocalizations. It can also fulfill optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Furthermore, certain ghosts (e.g., Deogen, Banshee) have unique audio signatures only detectable with this device, aiding in identification.
