The Best Starting Equipment In Phasmophobia

When loading into a game of Phasmophobia, players will want to find clues to discover the ghost's general location and eventually find the Ghost Room. To do so, players need the best equipment for the job, but they can only take three items with 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 have at least one source of light or another way to see where you are going, such as a Video Camera.

Best Starting Equipment In Phasmophobia

The following are arguably the best starting items in Phasmophobia and 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 to see where you're going.

EMF Reader

Running around with an EMF Reader is one of the fastest ways to find the ghost, as it will pick up activity. This is a must-have item when entering a building in most cases.

The Tier 2 EMF Reader is far superior as it makes a noise and has bright lights.

Tier 2 Thermometer

The ghost will make 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's night vision turned on, players can see where they are going. They can also find Ghost Orbs by 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 they only 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 location on larger maps, as it picks up faraway sounds.

Sound Sensor

Players could set up a Sound Sensor early on and have a friend monitor for noise from the truck.

Camera

When first exploring a building while it's safe, players can take photos of interesting finds such as bones or cursed possessions in Phasmophobia. Players will earn money and XP for these photos, and possibly complete optional objectives.

Tier 1 D.O.T.S Projector

Players can walk around with this torch-like object and see if the ghost walks through the D.O.T.S. Higher-tier versions of this item are static and only work on the wall though.
