Acting like a sequel of sorts to the most recent film, it features a ton of fan-favorite references.
It also sports the typical PvP elements this genre is known for.
The player controlling the ghost will need to haunt a given location while avoiding their proton pack-carrying rivals.
Ghosts have a nice arsenal of tricks to contend with.
The same goes for the Ghostbusters and their upgradable equipment.
The players that learn how to utilize these items/abilities at the right time will usually come out on top.
Below are a few tips thatll help you get through the beginner stages of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.
There are multiple factors to reckon with during a given match.
Meter and proton pack.
Tossing out your trap first speeds up the process because that action auto-switches your held item to the pack.
Basically, youll want to coordinate your attacks whenever you might.
The main one being that the first person to tether a ghost is in charge of their movement.
Its at that point that you’re free to start guiding them towards a trap to be captured.
The first person to tether the ghost is the one moving them around.
This is important to know for two reasons.
The first has to do with your team composition.
Its easier to guide the ghost to a particular trap if you know who is controlling them.
The other reason has to do with overheating proton packs.
you’re free to only continuously blast the ghost for so long before needing to vent your pack.
This will release the ghost if youre the only person there.
Remember the gear cart
Its important to remember the gear cart.
The main reason youll want to remember the equipment cart is because of your traps.
This can be a pain on some of the bigger maps, especially when youre first starting out.
Making sure to mentally mark the location is key early on.
The other reason you should prioritize the gear cart is because of the games secondary gadgets.
These items can significantly improve your chances of catching the ghost.
can quickly ascend to your location.
Calm NPCs
In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, its a ghosts job to haunt a place.
This is done in several different ways.
One of which is scaring NPCs enough to send them running from the building.
so you can counter this, the ghostbusters will need to reassure these people that everything will be okay.
All you have to do is talk to them for the duration.
This temporary layer of protection will make it harder for them to be scared in the future.
you could speak to them when theyre completely calm, granting them the shield from the start.
Complete side hustles
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has an account progression system.
A lot of the items (and ghost variants) are locked until youve leveled up.
That said, they offer a lot of XP.
Some even give cosmetic rewards as well.
Collecting these easy-to-find but often overlooked items will net you bonus points at the end of a match.
The more you collect, the more youll earn.
What makes this worthwhile, though, are the collection-based thresholds.
Once you hit 25%, for instance, youll get a one time bonus of 10,000 XP.
There are few different ways to accomplish this goal.
Scaring NPCs and haunting furniture–making them move on their own–will certainly do the trick.
you’re able to scare random folks all over the map and slowly move the needle.
This, of course, is easier said than done.
To combat this, make a note of the rooms percentage and leave.
Just double-check to come back to that room to finish up.
Break line of sight
Thanks to the ghostbusters P.K.E.
Meter, it can be hard to hide from them.
Theyll track you all over the map.
The good news for ghost players though, is that this gadget isnt as accurate as youd expect.
It has some limitations, mostly notably the inability to differentiate between floors.
Meter will lead the ghostbusters to your location eventually.
Meter will note the direction you went in but not what floor youre on.
This will give you much needed time to fool your pursuers.
Dont panic
Its important not to panic when youve been ensnared.
see to it to pay attention to the onscreen prompts.
The last thing youd want to do is to wildly button-mash any and everything as youre being attacked.
If youre fast enough, youll be able to snag it and escape with it in tow.
Protect the rifts
If the ghostbusters do manage to capture you, all hope isnt lost.
As a ghost, youre given three rifts to use as spawn points per match.
Meaning you have to be captured four times before you go down for good.
Unless of course the ghostbusters find and destroy your rifts before you’re able to use them.
Each rift is hidden in a different object located somewhere on the map.
Its possible to move them to another object even after being exposed by the busters.
Obviously, its important that you protect them as theyre your only lifeline.
If you get captured after all of your rifts have been destroyed/used up, its game over.
Thats not the only reason why youll want to protect your rifts though.
The other reason is because they cut down on your escape time.
When you fully haunt a place, the ghostbusters will get one final chance to capture you.
All you have to do is stay away from them for a certain amount of time.
Any remaining rifts will cut into that time, dropping it significantly if all three are present.
Basically, having as many rifts as possible at the end will make it easier for you to escape.
