Phasmophobia On Record weekly challenge mode tips
The On Record challenge is one of the trickier ones you can attempt in Phasmophobia, so here are some of the best tips to help you get it done.
- Bring all your equipment to the front door. Before you start investigating, bring all of the items you need to the front door. Your setup time is limited, so if you prepare a bit by gathering the items you need near the front door, you'll save time and be much more likely to succeed.
- Place Crucifixes in the ghost room. Once you know where the ghost is, place your Crucifixes around the room for protection. This powerful tool can block a few ghost hunts, so make sure you use it to your advantage.
- Play with friends. Your odds of success are a lot better with allies helping you through this tricky trial. With additional ghost hunters at your side, you can explore the map more quickly, work together to gather evidence, and continue the investigation even if you perish.
- Don't give up. Since all equipment is provided to you for free, there's nothing to lose in this challenge. Because of this, you can keep trying without worrying about losing money or equipment. Give each contract your all and keep at it until you get it done.
When does the challenge mode change in Phasmophobia?
The challenge mode changes every Monday at 12am UTC, which translates to 7pm CT every Sunday. You have a full week to tackle each challenge mode when it's available. All challenge modes return regularly since they're on a rotating schedule, so if you don't get to finish one, you can always try it again in the future.
With the launch of the Chronicle update, this schedule may change, as On Record started Tuesday at 6am CT instead of the usual time and day. We'll update all relevant details here when the next challenge starts.
Next weekly challenge mode in Phasmophobia
The next weekly challenge mode, which will run from July 1 to 8, is Speed Demons. This trial begins as soon as the featured one for this week, which is On Record, ends.
