How To Add Equipment In Phasmophobia

Learning how to properly manage your equipment in Phasmophobia is essential for ghost hunting success. This guide will walk you through the two main methods of adding equipment to your loadout, and explain which approach will save you the most money in the long run.

Locating the Equipment Management System

The first step is to find the equipment management machine, which is located on the side of your truck. This is your central hub for all equipment-related tasks in Phasmophobia.

Method 1: Equipment Management (Recommended)

The most reliable method for adding equipment is through the Equipment Management option. Click on the Equipment Management interface on the truck machine.

From here, you can browse and purchase a wide variety of equipment for your ghost hunting expeditions. Once you’ve bought items through Equipment Management, you can enable them directly from this same menu to add them to your in-game inventory.

Method 2: Loadout (Quick but Expensive)

There is a faster alternative method using the Loadout system. Simply click on Loadout and enable the equipment you want to bring into the game.

This method will immediately add everything to your game with minimal steps. However, there’s an important drawback: if you die during your ghost hunting mission, the game will automatically purchase replacement items for your equipment. This means you’ll lose money every time a team member falls to a ghost.

Which Method Should You Choose?

For most players, Equipment Management is the preferred approach. While it requires a bit more navigation, it prevents accidental spending when your team dies in the game. By managing your equipment through the Equipment Management system rather than Loadout, you maintain better control over your spending and can avoid unnecessary financial losses during challenging hunts.

Summary

Adding equipment in Phasmophobia is straightforward once you know where to look. Access the equipment machine on your truck and use the Equipment Management system to purchase and enable your gear. This method is more cost-effective than using the Loadout system, especially as you progress through more dangerous hunts where team deaths become more likely.
