An important thing to note when hopping into this gameis that players can enjoy trying out each and every weapon, gadget, and perk in the ghost hunting practice area. While each of the weapons, gadgets, and perks, apart from the default ones, must be unlocked via ghost shards, this tutorial practice area lets ghost hunters practice with each one before committing to the purchase. Here are some of the game’s best weapons, gadgets, and perks for ghost hunters.
10Weapon: Spectral Cannon
The default ghost hunter starting weapon is the Spectral Cannon. Oftentimes the default weapons in games are the best ones and that is very much the case here with the Spectral Cannon.This unique-looking weaponprovides five powerful energy blasts before needing to recharge and reload.
What this weapon makes up for in fire rate, it more than makes up for in power since it can lay waste to a ghost in just a few well-placed shots. Also helpful is that the Spectral Cannon has splash damage which means it can even harm other ghosts that happen to be lurking and hiding nearby.
9Weapon: Frostbite
The Frostbite ghost hunter weaponis essentially an SMG. The Frostbite is a powerful automatic weapon that shoots out energy shards in a rapid fashion, capable of slowing down ghosts while freezing nearby objects. This weapon, like every other weapon, can be purchased for 500 ghost shards.
Every team of ghost hunters should have at least one hunter with the Frostbite equipped. Ghosts are extremely fast and nimble in this game which means any weapon or tool that can be used to slow them down is highly essential. The Frostbite weapon is great for slowing down ghosts hidden within environmental objects and even freezing them in place.
8Weapon: Salt Shotgun
The Salt Shotgun, as its name implies, is an uber-powerful shotgun capable of blasting ghosts with double-barreled salty goodness. Since salt acts as a barrier inMidnight Ghost Hunt, it makes sense that the Salt Shotgun is good for pushing away encroaching ghosts, especially after midnight when they are powered up.

The Salt Shotgun is a very slow weapon, shooting two salt shells before reloading. This isn’t an easy weapon to get to grips with since it requires a steady aim, even with the salt spread. Like the Frostbite, the Salt Shotgun is another weapon that at least one ghost hunter should equip given its powerful ability to push back ghosts.
7Gadget: Radar
Moving onto the handy ghost hunter gadgets, one of the best ones is the default ghost Radar. The ghost Radar is extremely simple yet incredibly effective for seeking out hidden ghosts. The Radar uses a sort of energy barometer that spikes when a player is close to a ghost in ghost form or in hiding.
The Radar works in a specific area, highlighted in-game by a green circle, so it’s best used when working alongside your fellow ghost hunters. Whenever the Radar spikes into the red, it means one or more ghosts are nearby. When that happens, take out your weapon to deal some serious damage.
6Gadget: Vacuum
Another default ghost hunting gadget, the humble ghost Vacuum isan essential tool for any and all ghost hunters. This vacuum, however, can only be used in very specific circumstances so it doesn’t make sense to carry it around at all times. Simply put, the Vacuum is used to suck up the ghostly shards that are leftover after destroying a ghost.
Beyond that, there really isn’t a need to equip this gadget at all times, instead, focus on having just one or two players carry it around throughout a match. Sucking up ghost shards is vital to success for ghost hunters since it means that ghosts can’t be revived pre-midnight. However, after midnight, all bets are off since ghosts come back so long as at least one ghost remained in the first half of a match.
5Gadget: Spectrophone
One of the very best gadgetsthat ghost hunters should prioritize unlocking for 500 ghost shards is the Spectrophone. The Spectrphone is a super powerful gadget that helps ghost hunters find the presence of ghosts via audible cues and soundwaves.

The Spectrophone is a fully directional device, meaning it can pick up ethereal and spooky ghost noises and sounds in any direction it is facing. This gadget is incredibly useful and efficient when it comes to finding ghosts hidden in out-of-reach objects or smaller objects such as candles or boxes.
4Perk: Healing Aura
Ghost hunters also get to equip a perk either at the start of a hunt or from the hunters' workbench at any time in a match.One of the very best perks, which also happens to be default one, is the Healing Aura perk.
The Healing Aura perk is quite self-explanatory in that it passively and slowly restores the health of a ghost hunter that has it equipped. What makes this perk extra useful is that it can heal nearby ghost hunters. Ghost hunters have 100 health in the default state which means Healing Aura can bring any lost health back up to 100, however, it does take a good amount of time to do so.
3Perk: Lightweight
Another fantastic perk to equipas a ghost hunter is Lightweight. Again, much like Healing Aura, this perk is quite easy to decipher. Lightweight, first and foremost, makes a ghost hunter faster and able to sprint with better efficiency.
Lightweight is highly useful for any situation but becomes incredibly helpful when chasing a ghost during a hunt or when trying to avoid ghosts during the post-midnight phase of a match. Consider equipping Lightweight from the hunters' workbench once the midnight bell tolls in order to have a better escape advantage.
