The UV light is a purchasable starter item used to detect Ultraviolet evidence such as fingerprints and footprints.

Usage[]

The UV light can be enabled using the toggle (default: right click on mouse) key while holding it. The UV light can be activated at the same time as a standard flashlight, but any visible fingerprints or footprints may contrast poorly and be hard to see under their light. The UV light projects purple light and this light is weak relative to flashlights. The Tier II and III UV Lights will not work if Flashlights are turned off in custom difficulty settings.

Ghosts that give ultraviolet evidence can leave prints on certain surfaces doors, light switches, and windows. They may also leave prints on floors after stepping through salt. These prints become visible and green when a UV light is shone towards them.

The Tier I UV Light is a small glowstick. When activated, it glows brightly for 1 minute, then fades to half intensity over the next 10 seconds. After dimming, the glowstick can be shaken with primary use (default: right click on mouse) to revitalize the light it produces.

Tier II and III UV Lights are flashlights. They count as electronic equipment, and will flicker rapidly near a ghost which has manifested and attract it during a hunt when nearby.

Tips[]

  • As of patch 0.9.0, UV prints must be illuminated by a UV light to take a successful photo.
  • Many regard the Tier I UV Light as superior to the Tier II and III versions, due to the fact that the player can simply throw the glowstick on the floor and it will continuously illuminate any prints nearby.
