Wraith needs a change.

It can't be tracked by footprints anyways.

WHY does it need a change? If the ghost doesn't step in salt, bam, wraith, investigation done unless you want the bonuses.

Nah the Wraith does knock over salt, it just does not leave footprints.

And? That's the main gimmick of the Wraith.

The ghost used to step in salt and not leave footprints, but that was changed a couple of months ago.

Current build, wraiths will not interact with salt at all. So common method of figuring out wraith is to place a line of salt in front of a motion sensor. Then if it triggers the sensor but doesn't step in salt, you know it's a wraith.

That said. There are some caveats with the new build.

Tier 1 Salt only has two piles of salt and the old method made a line of three, so you'll want to use two canisters of salt... or tier 2 salt.

Tier 2 and 3 motion sensors have different detection shapes from the line that the old style motion sensor (tier 1) has, so it's possible for a ghost to trigger tier 2 and 3 sensors without touching salt placed in front of it.

who does phas need to make it so complex lmao just add a distinct sound effect so its obvious when the ability activates and let that ♥♥♥♥♥ walk through some walls while hunting
(specific areas of a wall that wont be too op but still a sucker punch to players of any skill level. BE ON YO TOES)

Wraith teleports are detectable by EMF, leaving a signature of 2.

Walking through walls during hunts would be broken as hell.

No, a Wraith will not disturb salt when walked over. I've tested this several times, especially during a hunt, and its avoidance of salt is written in the game's provided book. Disturbing salt immediately rules out Wraith, and if it walks over salt without disturbing it mid-hunt, it's a Wraith.
