Phasmophobia is a favorite psychological thriller game of many, filled with cool tools, creepy entities, and awesome maps. As you progress through the game and in levels, you will come across several different tools that will help you along your journey. One such tool is the DOTS Projector, which was recently added to the game. You can also pick up loads of ghost traces with the DOTS Projector. Keep reading to learn how to use the DOTS Projector in Phasmophobia.

What is the DOTS Projector is Phasmophobia?

The DOTS Projector is a tool you will probably use quite a bit throughout your time playing Phasmophobia. It can help you pick up traces of the entities that threaten your life in the game. The DOTS Projector can pick up traces of Banshee, Deogen, Goryo, Oni, Phantom, Raiju, Thaye, Wraith, Yokai, and Yurei. The DOTS Projector works by projecting a bunch of little dots all over the room that land on any surface in sight, and even those that aren’t in sight as well. Luckily for you, it picks up objects in the room that your character’s human eyes cannot pick up.

How to Use the DOTS Projector in Phasmophobia

As with any other gadget or tool in a game, your first step is to equip the DOTS Projector. Next, you’ll have to look around for a hard surface, such as a wall, door, or the floor, and press the “F” key on your keyboard. Once you’ve hit the “F” key, the DOTS Projector will do what it’s meant to. It will project hundreds of little dots in front of you, covering the room.

Whenever a ghost comes near, you will be able to see the shape of the ghost as a silhouette under the projector’s dots. However, ghosts can and will likely appear then very soon after disappear just as quickly. So, make sure you are actively checking the room’s hard surfaces. Though, since the DOTS Projector’s main purpose is to help you view ghosts in Phasmophobia, it will have done its job by that point.

If you’re finding that you’ve been using Phasmophobia‘s DOTS Projector for a while and still haven’t seen much, you can try communicating with the ghost in an attempt to raise its activity levels! Just make sure to stay safe and keep your teammates nearby.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
