Phasmophobia Coordinator (Van Jokey) Management

A Coordinator etiquette

Good night fellow Ghost hunters. Many players tend to disrespect whoever runs from location back into cozy van’s interior and it is deserved for most situations. Van players took this bad reputation simply by being a dead weight, but in reality with recent updates their usefulness has risen to a new horizon. But before we hop to your Management:tm: assignment, let’s follow simple etiquette:

Always supply your team with every part of equipment you can afford– This is the first key of bringing major contribution in future mission. Unlike active ghost agents you don’t have risks of losing that pricey equipment even when mission turns into failure.

Always listen to the driver radio message– This might be crucial part to your team’s strategy. As for now driver does have different information players don’t get anywhere else, like information about cursed item, how active and aggressive ghost will be.

Always bring whatever gear your crew asks– 10 walking meters is nothing for shoes but walking to the van and back for active ghost hunters is a waste of time. Carry whatever people ask to the door or, if portion of area is 100% safe by your estimation, deeper into location. You are free hands, a mule as long as you are not in danger.

Always stay in touch with your team– You are always safe to talk and considering the amount of information you have from your position it might be crucial. With recent updates radio jamming during hunting only appears in close proximity to ghosts and that means your crew can hear you almost always!

Your personal gear

Items are placed here have low or zero impact for other ghost hunters, but your role finally makes them meaningful and potentially life saving. Let’s take a look!

• NV Videocamera (Tripod optional)(50$+25$) – Cameras placed around building serve two roles – searching for Ghost orbs and as your personal eyes far away. With updates cameras got visual interference when the ghost is around 5 meters range either during hunting or manifestation. This allows you to have direct feed of close ghost location and with that – coordinate ghost hunters to what areas they should avoid right now.
• Sound sensor (Aka gaming microphone) (80$) – Large area of detection (6.7م) allows this sensor to narrow down ghost’s favorite room or it’s inaccurate position. Sound sensors are must have for small/medium locations and absolutely useful with ghosts that change their rooms. Your field agents can even use it as backup plan when Parabolic microphone is missing just by placing it down for your glance and then pick up.
• Motion sensor (100$) – In early updates Motion sensors finally integrated infrared sensors into themselves. This gadget is barely useful for regular ghost hunters (dim light source with no sanity) but it’s main purpose besides those annoying missions is to tell you exact ghost movement during hunting and wandering. After being crossed by anyone including dead players and ghosts, this sensor will ping on the map and light up with green.
• D.O.T.S. Projector (65$) – It is already well known mandatory device for ghost hunters, allowing them to spot unique evidence and also work as backup light source in a room (no sanity savings). The thing that ghost silhouette is difficult to spot with naked eye, that’s why video cameras work perfectly in synergy with D.O.T.S. Additionally Projector can be used to extend visual range of night vision mode in larger areas.

There is a couple of tips on how to place each piece of gear and you, your team members should know:

Place cameras in the room corners facing the center or at the end of hallway. This increases area of view for your use. Placing cameras with view from the door into room is bad, placement looking at the room and the door is preferred!

Lasers are better placed on the walls opposing camera view. If none are nearby – place them distanced from each other in camera view. Having 2 sensors nearby oversaturates camera’s night vision. As told before – D.O.T.S. can be used to light up distant area in camera’s view.

Motion sensors are best used in thigh areas where walking around is impossible. Tactical placement of those on major parts of the map can be crucial. Avoid placing them on the floor or to high. Do not place 2 sensors in a close proximity unless you have spare one and this section of a map has multiple ways to go!

Here you can see how 4 lasers are capable to segregate multiple rooms into strict areas – Master bedroom with sub-rooms, Children hallway with rooms, الطابق السفلي, Kitchen.Sound sensors are simply spread around the house the similar way as Motion sensors. Cover up multiple rooms with one sensor at a time. Optionally create intersections between sensors to spot ghost’s activity in them more precisely.

Workstation

هذا is your main working station. You back up information screens with cameras.

Do not stick to cameras for entire time after you proven evidence or lack of it in it.Location map and Sound sensorscreens are main one. With their use you can easily coordinate every ghost hunter inside by telling different clues you have from sensor feedback.

Early stages of the game you and your team members are supposed to place sound sensors and with their information find approximate area of ghost’s favorite room. Take a closer look to sound scale and you might find out that ghost can be quiet up to 0.5% but still show up as tiny green slice on percentage bar. Any risen up activity without a player in area of detection means

interaction. This screen is especially useful with ghosts that actively change rooms during game and might be useful during hunts, even tho it’s accuracy is the worst one in ghost positioning.

Sanity meter and Activity screens are desirable objects for your attention – first allows you to control group’s sanity and second to spot anomalous activities ghost did in the past and just right now. Remember that sanity is one of crucial part in hunting and keeping it at high levels can completely prevent dangers of the dark.

Last one is the

Computer connected to video feed. Used most of the time as evidence detector, but it’s highly underrated feature is to work as Sound/Movement sensors – during manifestation and hunting ghost will interfere with cameras nearby. Placing them in areas where you don’t have enough sensors can extend your area of “control”.

خاتمة

يستخدم. لك. Microphone. Always stay in touch with ghost hunters inside! After recent updates ghost does not interfere with radios that far away – you can directly order people even during hunts and with information you have from your cozy spot you raise their chances of avoiding ghost’s dead hands entirely! Don’t forget – even tho you can speak, your people can’t speak back as using radio/talking in close proximity of ghost spots their location.

You have no limit on timing for analyzing information or reminding something that other might forgot in tension of dark corners. Suggest possible locations, better gear position, possible ghost type from any information you get.

Your pair of eyes and hands from safe spot improves rate at which you and your friends can find and analyze paranormal activities they going trough.

Safe hunting!
