banshee bug?

[𝕷𝖆𝖚𝖌𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌]

as it stands i got banshee 3 times playing tonight and will using a parabolic microphone along with even setting down the stationary microphone i wasn't able to get a single scream at all? i think the ghost might be bugged and not screaming but please tell me if anybody else has been having this issue?

A banshee's scream is supposed to be rare.

Banshees unique parabolic mic interaction is only a fixed chance of appearing. It's not deafening by any measure, but it will be pretty distinct nonetheless.

It's not terrible odds either really, it's roughly the same chance to get a Deogens unique Spirit Box response... only slower because you can't force it to trigger once every couple of seconds.

The Banshee doesn't have a unique interaction with the stationary microphone, so no need to place it down.

As for the paramic, if the ghost does a whispering, there's a 33% chance to do the Banshee scream instead. And as for the whispering itself that can even take quite long as well, given that you've also the chance of getting just a step sound instead of the whispering.

So overall, it is rather a nice add on for a lucky early identification, but if you don't want to wait like 30 minutes for the scream, then it is recommended to rather identify the Banshee with the other, more consistent abilities.

Yeah Mayas answer there was pretty on the nose - i'm a little wary to go into details like that because I am not aware just how sensitive they want us to be in regards to openly discussing mechanical spoilers, so I tend to be a bit vague on purpose.
