Emf Level 5 Explanation

[MrMordekaiser]

does anyone have any concrete information on how this evidence works in the game today right now, cause im seeing so much different stuff like emf lvl 4 is actually emf level 5 evidence in book, emf activity in truck doesnt actually work right, etc etc

[MrMordekaiser]

If i could get lucky enough to get a Developer to explain this thatd be super great, like does it just not work properly right now or is it buggy?

EMF 5 has a 25% chance of occurring from any EMF 2 or EMF 3 activity; this also means that EMF 4 (ghost events) will not award EMF 5. The reader going haywire during events/hunts also does not signify EMF 5.

The most reliable (and on Nightmare, the only) way to get EMF 5 is with the EMF reader. However, you can use the truck monitor to make an educated guess of EMF 5 depending on how active the ghost is. Multiple +4 spikes (that is, the activity goes from 'X' to 'X+4' or higher) is a good way to tell EMF 5, though I would be careful not to confuse it for multiple actions at once- such as throwing something then immediately touching a door.

EMF 4 is a ghost event. The only thing that is EMF 5, is EMF 5. The truck activity has random fluctuation and is like that by designed so that you can't figure it out from the truck. At one point you could confirm EMF 5 from the truck but they removed that because they want you to actually go in the house to confirm it.

so by any chance, if it hits EMF 4 several times, there's a chance it'll be a 5 or not?

The activity board gives +-1 to everything, so EMF 4 could be EMF 3, 4 or 5. If you get an EMF 5 on the board and there was no ghost events in the house, then it would mean EMF 5. Though if the ghost threw two objects very close to one another, or threw an object and hit a light switch, you would get the same results. If you are in the house to check what the ghost is doing though to rule out certain thing, you might as well just use the EMF reader.
