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

Usage[]

The UV light can be enabled using the toggle 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 I 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 flashlight with a narrow spotlight. It counts as an electronic equipment. So it will flicker rapidly near a manifesting ghost and will attract the ghost during a hunt when it is nearby.

Tier II 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 to revitalize the light it produces.

The tier III UV Light is also a flashlight. However, it has a much wider spotlight and a lesser charge time than tier I. It also counts as an electronic equipment.

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 II UV Light as superior to the Tier I 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, and it is also not an electronic, allowing the player to use it as a light source during hunts without the ghost detecting it.
