Raiju OP?

[Jimsatsu]

Ever since the new update the Raiju has been a pain in my ass, it's highly unpredictable and seems to be the only ghost that can lock onto my location without line of sight (even when hiding in a completely different room away from spawn location). Sometimes there are orbs in an entirely different location and the Raiju now seems to be able to spawn in a different location instead of where breath and activity can be found (I play on costum mode without room switching so this is just weird). I once mistook the Raiju now for The Twins since his spawn pattern and overall behavior makes no more sense.

the Raiju an electric ghost that thrives off of power yet often turns off the breaker and lights just for the sake of it whilst still keeping it's boosted speed when with power. I've had the Raiju back to back now for 3 rounds of costum solo and I mistook the Raiju 3 times now for a different ghost and as you might've guessed by now, to my frustration it killed me back to back as well only to find out that it was a Raiju.

I'm not new to the game at all and I was able to spot the Raiju before the update quite quickly but now it's incredibly hard especially since it just telepathically knows my location at all times as if it's a Deogen. I'm just solo grinding to unlock better stuff but the Raiju literally made me rage-quit.

Anyways, that's my rant about the Raiju. I am however curious if others also noticed this or am I just THAT unlucky?

The Raiju is not specifically effected by the breaker being on- It's affected by electronics; IE, If you leave a flashlight on the floor, when the Raiju is near that flashlight, it gets it's boosted speed. So, all those electronics you leave lying around while gathering evidence? Yeah, all of em boost the Raiju's speed.

Also, The ghost is an actual invisible entity that roams around the map sometimes, it always returns to that 'home room' but is not specifically bound there; Wherever this entity is when a hunt begins is where the hunt starts. Yes, Even if it's in another room or part of the house entirely. Further, Any ghost event will actually move the ghost to the spot the ghost was at the very end of the event; Meaning if it events near you, it's now capable of hunting from that spot and will begin right next to you.

One question I have for you is 'Are you wearing head gear items like the Head Cam/Head Lamp/NVG"? If you turn those on, they are electronic; And just like other electronics will attract the ghost, any ghost, to your location, and is easy to forget you have it on.. And for a raiju, it will in fact speed the ghost up when it's in range too.


To answer the last question though, I haven't had any problems with telepathic or misbehaving raijus.

Thanks for replying, I am ashamed to admit that I forgot the fact that equipment also affects it's speed... that at least explains the boosted speed lmao

I also didn't know about the whole invisible entity and being able to just start a hunt where it currently is located, I genuinely appreciate that info!


As for your question, I don't use headcams when solo grinding since (to me at least) that seems like a pointless spending when I'm the only one, nor was I holding anything electronic at the time (Side challenges involved smudge sticks/incense so I only had them and 1 matchbox in my inventory) so that sadly wouldn't explain the instant lock ons either that I experienced in the 3 games I played
