One of the latest features in Phasmophobia is the ability to use custom difficulties when you’re taking on ghost hunts. This feature allows you to join your friends in a co-op adventure and take on some really tough challenges and ghosts! You get to choose the obstacles that you will face and even what sort of challenges will await you in each ghost hunt. Having this ability leaves all the decision-making up to you and your friends. However, knowing what each option offers could be the difference between a win and a letdown.

All Custom Difficulty Settings in Phasmophobia

Gaining the ability to customize your difficulty settings means creating your own custom game for yourself and your friends. However, whether it is a custom game or not, you are still able to get a reward multiplier based on your setting selection! You and your team of valiant ghost hunters will still be collecting quite a bit of money and XP, so don’t worry.
To begin with, you will be able to customize 3 separate sets of custom difficulty settings in Phasmophobia. Choosing between “Custom 1”, “Custom 2”, and “Custom 3” will give you access to each set.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
