Using the New Spirit Box In Phasmophobia
(Updated on October 11, 2024 – updated links and format)
Unlike the old version, Phasmophobia’s new Spirit Box comes with three tiers. You unlock these tiers as you play, using the money gained in each run to purchase new equipment. Here is each tier and the effect they have:
- Tier 1: The audio in the Spirit Box doesn’t work too well. The ghost doesn’t clearly hear your questions and your replies won’t be too clear either. It will require good listening and speaking skills to make the most of this tier.
- Tier 2: This is the original Spirit Box you used before the Ascension update. There’s a screen that helps you read the responses and it’s not too hard to make out what the ghost says. If you play lots of Phasmophobia, this tier will be the one that feels the most familiar.
- Tier 3: This is the best representation of the new Spirit Box in Phasmophobia. There’s a noise filter added to the Spirit Box which helps you hone in on the sounds. It’s also more likely to pick up on ghost responses than in previous tiers and it’s easier to understand what they are saying.
