Gear up for a new wave of ghost-hunting thrills! Update 1.2 is out NOW!

A new Ghost Haunt, a new Hunter Perk, new skins (and the return of an old favorite) and more; lets dive in!

[h2]👀NEW HUNTER PERK: FARSIGHT 👀[/h2]

Farsight allows you to see corrupted and poltergeist props, as well as death grip through walls! Your max health is set to 80, and your movement speed is also slightly slower to balance it out.

Use Farsight to get an early warning to your team before walking into a room filled with Ghostly traps!

[h2]👻 NEW GHOST HAUNT: CONJURER 👻[/h2]

Conjurer allows you to spawn a random, large prop at your location as a dead Ghost. Help your friends escape those pesky Hunters by dropping a couch in their getaway path, or block a doorway with a table!

[h2]✨NEW COSMETICS ✨[/h2]
[h3]NEW GHOST SKIN: DEAD DUCK[/h3]

Prepare to quack under pressure with our new ghost skin, Dead Duck—it's bound to ruffle some feathers in the afterlife!

[h2]🐛BUG FIXES/QOL IMPROVEMENTS 🐛[/h2]

• Dedicated servers will now go through all 10 maps in order, rather than randomly picking the next map
  
  • We certainly heard your feedback on this, where you may end up playing Mansion 5 times before ever seeing Mall. This should fix that problem, thanks for the feedback!
• Additional checks to hopefully prevent Ghost bots from being able to possess props through walls
  
• Out of bounds fixes based on your reports
  
• Improve hit detection for Ghosts when trying to destroy C4 with Ghost punches
  
• Minor localization fixes

That's all for now, Ghosts and Hunters, until next time!

As summer spreads its sunny embrace across the world, now is the time to gather your ghost hunting gear and prepare for a delightfully eerie summer, because Update 1.1 is out NOW!

[h2]🖨️NEW GHOST ABILITY: COPYCAT 🖨️[/h2]

Spawn a copy of your *current* prop! Ever wanted another Knight? What if your friend also wants to be the T-Rex head? Just equip copycat, and spawn another one! Larger items have a longer cooldown, but can be sped up using the Ghostly Focus perk.

[h2]👟 NEW GHOST PERK: ECTO-RUSH👟[/h2]



The higher your ectoplasm buildup, the higher your movement speed! We have found this is *fantastic* for quickly getting away after being found by those pesky Hunters! This also affects ghost form, doppelganger, and the spirit ability by giving them a base movement speed increase (as they always have the highest ectoplasm by default).

[h2]🏃 NEW HUNTER PERK: BERSERK🏃[/h2]



30% Damage boost AND 30% movement speed buff when you are less than 50% health! Go Berserk running away at Midnight! High risk, but high reward.

[h2]✨NEW COSMETICS ✨[/h2]
[h3]New Ghost Skin: Deathday[/h3]

Introducing our newest ghost skin, "Deathday," celebrating the spectral counterpart to birthdays with chilling…elegance? Just in time for summer! Happy Deathday!


[h3]5 new weapon skins[/h3]

• Battleworn Ghostsmasher
  
• Fluorescent Salt Shotgun
  
• Camo Riot Shield
  
• Chrome Flamethrower
  
• Frosted Riot Shield
  

[h3]3 new Ghostmaster handheld gaming device skins[/h3]

• Orange
  
• Transparent Orange
  
• Shiny Gold
