Quick Links
When loading into a game ofPhasmophobia, players will want to find clues to discover the ghost’s general location and eventuallyfind the Ghost Room. To do so, players need the best equipment for the job, but they canonly take three itemswith them at once.
There are other strong items, such as the book for ghosts to write in, but these should only be brought in later to be placed in the Ghost Room. When playing with friends, players will want to take a wide range of equipment to cover all angles. Lastly, always remember to haveat least one source of lightor another way to see where you are going, such as a Video Camera.
Best Starting Equipment In Phasmophobia
The following are arguably thebest starting items inPhasmophobiaand most beginner players will want to take them when first entering a house.
Flashlight
While the Flashlight won’t help players find or identify a ghost, it’s important to be able tosee where you’re going.
EMF Reader
Running around with an EMF Reader is one of thefastest ways to find the ghost, as it will pick up activity. This is a must-have item when entering a building in most cases.
TheTier 2 EMF Readeris far superior as itmakes a noiseand has bright lights.
Tier 2 Thermometer
The ghost willmake rooms colder, so having a fast-acting Thermometer should help you identify where it is.
Look out for cold breath produced by your character!
Video Camera (Possibly On A Tripod
With the Video Camera’snight vision turned on, players can see where they are going. They can alsofind Ghost Orbsby walking around with the camera. Ghost Orbs are only found in the Ghost Room, making them great for confirming a suspicion.
Setting the camera up on a tripod first and carrying them around together saves space as theyonly count as one item together.
Alternative Starting Equipment In Phasmophobia
The following starting equipment can be good in some situations, such as on larger maps or when playing with friends, to have a range of options.
Parabolic Microphone
This is great for finding the ghost’s general locationon larger maps, as it picks up faraway sounds.
Sound Sensor
Players could set up a Sound Sensor early on andhave a friend monitor for noise from the truck.
Camera
When first exploring a building while it’s safe, players can takephotos of interesting findssuch as bones orcursed possessions inPhasmophobia. Players willearn money and XPfor these photos, and possibly complete optional objectives.
Tier 1 D.O.T.S Projector
Players can walk around with this torch-like object and seeif the ghost walks through the D.O.T.S. Higher-tier versions of this item are static and only work on the wall though.
UV Light
This can somewhat act as a light source, and players can startlooking for fingerprints earlyif they see doors moving.
One tactic is to make multiple short trips and drop all the important equipment just inside the front door.
