Phasmophoia Halloween Update Adds Maple Lodge Campsite, New Difficulty, Additional Ghosts, And More

It’s that time of the year where all of your favorite ongoing service games receive Halloween updates and Phasmopohobia’s Halloween-inspired Nightmare update is now live. 

Update v0.4.0 is the Nightmare update. It adds a haunted camp, new Nightmare difficulties, four ghosts and more to the multiplayer. This update brings many improvements and fixes to Early Access. 

“We’ve had reports of paranormal activity near an old campsite,” the Phasmophobia Nightmare Update PageThis is what it says. “We need you to investigate as soon as possible to find out the cause of the these ghostly sightings. In haunted areas, paranormal entities are also starting to appear. Be careful out there, the weather has become a lot more intense recently, and it may hinder your investigations.” 

This is all playing on some of the Nightmare update’s new features, of course. In terms of the new haunted campsite, the map is called Maple Lodge Campsite and it’s a medium-sized map with picnic areas, games, multiple tents, a log cabin, and naturally, a haunted lake. Kinetic Games says Maple Lodge Campsite has “more unique objects, higher object density, and more visual detail,” but that minimum specification computers should still have no problem with the map. 

Kinetic Games also added Nightmare to their game with the latest update. This mode has been created to provide the ultimate Phasmophobia experience. Here’s what you can expect in the new mode: 

• Ghosts may reveal one kind of evidence
• After moving, the ghost may change his preferred room.
• Setup time is not required
• Shortest hunt grace period
• Long hunt duration
• Kills extend the current hunt’s duration
• The effects of sanity pills are much lower
• The fuse box is available for purchase
• Almost no hiding places
• You may have experienced paranormal interference that has caused damage to your equipment. 

Kinetic Games has also reworked its other three difficulty settings – Amateur, Intermediate, and Professional – as well. Go to Nightmare page updateFind out more about these reworks. 

Kinetic Games also added a new map and difficulty, as well as a weather system. 

“Each time you start a contract, the location will have different weather, adding new layers of gameplay and making each contract feel unique,” the update page reads. “Change in temperature will make finding the ghost’s location more difficult, rain or wind will impair your hearing, and a thick fog will reduce visibility.”

These are some of the weather types you might expect to see: Clear skies, foggy, heavy rains, strong winds, light snow, and heavy rains. 

Four new ghosts – Onryo, The Twins, Obake, and Raiju – will be taking advantage of this weather system to scare you, too. This Halloween Nightmare event has a higher chance for these new ghosts to spawn. 

Elsewhere, the update brings dozens of changes and fixes to Phasmophobia ranging from “Ghost hunt duration has been lowered on small and medium maps” to “Fixed a bug where the footstep sounds would continue after you have stopped moving” and more.
