Phasmophobia Frostbitten weekly challenge mode tips

The Frostbitten challenge is one of the trickier ones you can attempt in Phasmophobia, so here are some of the best tips to help you get it done.

• Be wary of early hunters. There’s no setup time in this one, so it’s possible, although unlikely, that you may be hunted as soon as you step on the map. Try to get Crucifixes down around the ghost room as soon as possible to deter this and also ensure you’re always ready to run or hide as needed.
• Learn Camp Woodwind’s layout. Since it’s an outdoor map, it’s tough to investigate. Learn the map layout beforehand to make this process easier. You can explore it in a custom match with the friendly ghost option turned on, so you don’t have to worry about hunts.
• Loop around the map. Camp Woodwind is essentially one giant circle, so you can generally loop around it endlessly to escape the ghost during hunts. Focus on breaking line of sight with the ghost as you go to ensure it can’t catch you.
• Don’t use temperature to find the ghost. It’s snowing, and the fuse box is broken in this trial, so your temperature readings will be way off. Use a different method, like placing sensors or an EMF Reader, to pinpoint the ghost’s location. Once you’ve found the right room, you can then use the Thermometer to check for freezing temperatures.
• Play with friends. Your odds of success are a lot better with allies helping you through this tricky trial. With additional ghost hunters at your side, you can explore the map more quickly, work together to gather evidence, and continue the investigation even if you perish.
• Don’t give up. Since all equipment is provided for free, there’s nothing to lose in this challenge. Because of this, you can keep trying without worrying about losing money or equipment. Give each contract your all and keep at it until you get it done.
