„A laser grid of light that can reveal the silhouette of the ghost.”
D.O.T.S Projector is a type of evidence in Phasmophobia, used to determine which ghost is haunting a location. It is detected by placing a D.O.T.S Projector in close proximity of a ghost, and allowing it to pass through it.
Mechanics[]
Ghosts with D.O.T.S evidence will occasionally enter a "D.O.T.S state". During this, a faint silhouette of the ghost will be visible only when it passes through the laser grid. The ghost will also walk towards the nearest player if there is one in the same room, or towards a random waypoint if no players are nearby. While these silhouettes are visible to the naked eye (unless the ghost is a Goryo), a video camera with night vision may allow for better visibility. This also means that D.O.T.S can be tracked simultaneously alongside Ghost Orbs.
Dead players cannot see the D.O.T.S state by any means.
Ghost-specific abilities[]
Banshee[]
The Banshee will try to walk towards its targeted player, even if another player is closer to it.
Goryo[]
If the ghost is a Goryo, the silhouette will not be visible to the naked eye and can only be seen when the following two conditions are fulfilled:
- There are no players in the same room as the Goryo when it enters a D.O.T.S state
- The D.O.T.S silhouette must be viewed with a video camera
One way to look for this behaviour is to view the projector from outside the room; if it is visible on the camera but not to the naked eye, the ghost is likely a Goryo.
Phantom[]
The Phantom will physically disappear if a photo or a video of it is taken while in a D.O.T.S state.
Rewards[]
- Main article: Media
The D.O.T.S silhouette can be photographed or video recorded, and will show up as D.O.T.S. Ghost in the journal. Both the photo and the video can reward up to $12 and 12 XP depending on the equipment tier and whether there is a Unique stamp. The photo will complete the "Capture a photo of the Ghost" objective and the video will complete the "Capture a video of a Ghost" objective.
