The Parabolic Microphone isn't included in your starting equipment. To get it, you'll need to reach specific levels and purchase it from the in-game shop. Like other equipment, it has three tiers, each offering improved performance and reliability.

  • Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7.
  • Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31, costing $3,000 to upgrade.
  • Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72, costing $5,000 to upgrade.

Once unlocked, you can equip up to two Parabolic Microphones, regardless of your team size. Remember, prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again.

On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone is invaluable for pinpointing the ghost's location by sound. Listen for sounds like objects being thrown, doors moving, or the ghost's voice. It can also help complete optional objectives requiring you to record the ghost's voice. Some ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, have unique sounds only detectable with the Parabolic Microphone, aiding in identification.
