Master Phasmophobia's equipment! Learn about starter, optional, and truck equipment, their prices, uses, and how they help you identify ghosts and complete objectives.
In Phasmophobia, equipment is crucial for ghost hunting. You'll use various tools to gather evidence, identify the ghost type, and complete objectives. Equipment can be purchased using in-game money earned from successful investigations. Some items are provided at the start of each mission, while others must be bought from the shop.
Mechanics:
Equipment can be bought and sold in the shop while in the lobby. If a player dies, they lose all equipment they brought on the mission, except for the default starter gear. Players who survive will have their equipment returned automatically. Consumable items like incense and sanity medication need to be repurchased if used. Ghosts can disrupt electronic equipment when visible, especially during hunts or manifestations. Holding active electronic equipment during a hunt can attract ghosts.
There are three main categories of equipment:
- Starter Equipment: Always provided at the beginning of an investigation.
- Optional Equipment: Must be purchased from the shop.
- Truck Equipment: Stationary items located within the truck.
