What Is The DOTS Projector In Phasmophobia?
The D.O.T.S Projector is a tool that you can use to identify the location and identity of Ghosts in a room. Using the D.O.T.S Projector is critical as you seek to gain evidence of Ghosts in Phasmophobia, so it's a good idea to learn how to use it if you want to perform well.
The D.O.T.S Projector costs $65, and you can carry two Projectors with you in each match. Because your resources are rather limited, you should use them as wisely as possible.
How To Use DOTS Projector In Phasmophobia
Using the D.O.T.S Projector in Phasmophobia is simple. In fact, activating the tool only requires you to follow three simple steps.
The D.O.T.S Projector should then immediately begin working. You will know that it is working as it emits a bright green light within a certain radius.
Once the Projector begins emitting this green light, you will be able to see the silhouettes of any Ghosts that pass by, though you'll only see them for a quick second. Keeping an eye on the D.O.T.S Projector consistently is key to identifying all the Ghosts you come across since they will appear and disappear so quickly.
Note that you can view the D.O.T.S Projector - and the spirits it reveals - on any video monitors you may have put up, meaning you can also easily monitor your Projectors from a distance.
That is all the information you need to know about what the D.O.T.S Projector tool is in Phasmophobia, as well as how you can use it in your matches to identify and locate Ghosts. This tool is a pretty critical one, so we hope that our guide has helped you improve your gameplay.
Phasmophobia DOTS Projector Updates
While the DOTS Projector has remained the same for a while now, Kinetic Games is making some changes to the tool in the upcoming v0.9 update. In fact, they have "completely rebuilt" the tool, adding three tiers of Equipment Upgrades and allowing players to actually see the ghost through the projector.
Here's a look at the new equipment tiers, from Kinetic Games:
- Tier I is like the real-life equivalent of a D.O.T.S. projector; a Laser Grid Pen. Similar to a flashlight, you can walk around the location and scan quickly for evidence, the only downside being its short range and low light intensity.
- Tier II is how you know D.O.T.S. today, a placeable projector emitting an average-sized sphere of light, except now you can encourage the ghost to walk into it by standing nearby!
- Tier III cranks up the light to the maximum, again placeable, this Projector scans the room at a much longer range with a wide beam of light, making finding ghosts in those bigger rooms much easier.
