Global Chat during hunt

[Shadowdragon]

will the ghost hear the static of the global chat during a hunt and if so will it only hear it if you push the button or can the truck guy screw you by holding the global chat button

[NickySins]

It can hear the static now, if someone from the truck holding the radio button can screw you over or not i haven't tested it. But don't press the radio button while hiding.

[Shadowdragon]

so if i press the button it will alert the ghost but we dont know if it will hear the static if the person in the truck its tapping the button.

I've done it plenty of times with the Ghost near and there was no difference in it's pathing. Tried it in a closet on Tanglewood, a locker on Grafton and hiding on Willow. Ghost was close enough that the lights in the area were flickering on Tanglewood and Willow, and it's my understanding if it's on the same floor and things around you are flickering, the ghost is close enough to "sense" your electronics if they're on.

Grafton it was hanging around the upstairs storage room by the lockers when I tried there, but Ghosts are touchy when it comes to actually opening the locker and killing you at times.

No it can't hear the static from the global chat.

That is one thing alot of people are trying to get them to change cause it makes it too easy to be able to tell if a hunt is happening or not since your other equipment only malfunctions when in proximity to the ghost now.

Ah thank you guys for the info

If they change it I guarantee it will kill online random matchmaking.

Yep there is only one way to make it work.

During a hunt all radios (global chat) stop working. Or have it to where anyone near the ghost's influence ( where it causes your stuff to malfunction) can no longer hear or transmit anything on their radio, but everyone else out of the influence can still hear and use the radios.

If you press the button the ghost will be able to hear you clicking it to try to get it to work.

However if a teammate presses the button you will not hear anything from your radio at all.

This way teammates can't purposely attract the ghost to other people and get them killed, or trolls use it for the same purpose.

If you want to check the global you will have to put yourself in danger to do it.

I regularly use the radio static to check if the hunt has ended and I've never been caught using it.

That would work. I think silencing it during hunts is a good change, since people holding it down is rather annoying. The truck already tells people when a hunt is happening too.

Good question.

They took away global light flickering and left us with guessing if the ghost is going for a stroll on the other side of the house or hunting. It's only natural people are going to use the only assurance we have that "yes, this is a hunt and not a ghost event".

That doesn't help people in the house determine it's a hunt, and that's where the whole bit of using the Radio to tell if there's a hunt comes from.

Yeah maybe i was wrong, i was hiding in a room, and a friend kept spamming the Radio... The moment he started i ♥♥♥♥ you not, ghost was straight up coming to our room. Like, just went straight for us as if he knew exactly where we were. And all he did was spam the radio for a bit half way through the hunt. Ghost didn't even come close to us until that moment.

That's why im skeptical about it.

Yeah I guess there are no tools for the large levels especially asylum. I haven't really played anything larger than the farms on pro since the update. I don't know how surviving asylum with a wandering hallway ghost would work. I guess you just die with no evidence.

Highschool in profissional was super easy, so idk, Asylum shouldn't be that much different neither.

Brownstone was never all that difficult unless you have a Rev or a Jinn. With Sprint, it's even easier to flee from the ghost through class rooms or zooming through the hallways to the stairs.

Asylum shouldn't be that much different neither.

If you end up having trouble finding the ghost due to it being somewhat passive with the door handling, you really can't tell if it's a ghost event or a hunt. Ghost events where the ghost paths around sounds identical to a hunt thanks to them now stomping around. The only visual factor is the equipment pulsing out of control. And I've found that if I'm close enough for the equipment to pulse, I'm likely close enough for the Ghost to sense and follow my Flashlight.

My team had an unpleasant experience where it hunted from behind us and cut off our escape route on the basement of Asylum. It chased us all the way to the conference room, and ended up killing me as no amount of LoSing could get it off us. Even a Smudge and a sprint around the corner didn't stop it from chasing us down, even with both of our Flashlights out and off.

If you don't have an EMF near the ghost hunting, and if you're not within visual range of lights flickering, your only option to check if it's a hunt is to hit your radio.
