How To Make Money in 'Phasmophobia'
There are three ways to make money in "Phasmophobia." This includes capturing ghost activity photos, completing objectives and getting insurance. Like any other game, a player will only have a little money at the start which is just enough to purchase low-quality equipment. However, as the game progress, the player will start earning more money which gives him the opportunity to upgrade and acquire new equipment.
The first and easiest way to make money is by completing objectives which are found on the truck's whiteboard. This will involve both simple and difficult tasks. Although using a smudge stick is easy, other tasks could be risky for the players like interacting with a ghost or seeing a ghost. In order to earn $10, one needs to complete the objective and stay alive at the end of the match. If one dies but completed the game objectives, the player can still get $5. Identifying the ghost will also give the players money but its amount varies on the type of map being used.
How to Get Photo Rewards
A digital camera can help you get extra money by taking pictures of ghostly events. After taking pictures, these will appear in the Journal with a label. It is important to check if the picture is properly labeled and not blurry so it can be paid $10 each. Players who die can still get $5 per picture with proper label.
Taking pictures is a big money maker in the game. Since a camera can only be used 5 times, one needs to acquire more than one camera. According to ScreenRant, there are 7 types of photos that can get photo rewards.
