Traps can be destroyed by the ghost. One Brute ghost that I faced loved to do that, forcing us to return to the cart constantly. And it is incredibly difficult but I did manage to escape the ghost trap once. The arrow tells you where you need to align the icon to more quickly escape, sort of like escaping a tether. When the icon is flashing, your button mashes will be more effective. But you have so little time to do it that it can be really tough. It is also supposed to get consecutively more difficult each time you escape. The first escape is so tough that I imagine a second or third escape would be nearly impossible.
Lmao I wonder if that was me. In 3 hours I have a video going up of me playing the Basher class and destroying a ton of people traps and never being caught. Idk if it was or wasn’t but yeah the Basher class is a menace! Probably the strongest ghost. And I’ll keep trying to escape a ghost trap, most the time it just doesn’t feel like it’s working
@@JustGavinBennett It could have been! I don't remember the player name. Yeah, that Basher was annoying and the class feels pretty strong. Lots of knockback and feels like he's tough to drag around with the tether stream. On the trap escape, if you're in the "sweet spot", the button icon will start flashing. If you're not, you should see an arrow pointing the direction you need to lean the mouse/joystick. Unlike the tether cues, it only rotates along the upper half of the circle, so it will be somewhere either upper left, upper right or center. But even if you're in the sweet spot, it's very difficult.
Have you run into any cheaters yet? I ran into one yesterday with Chinese letters as their name. Dude had unlimited range on his proton pack, never had to vent, and instant tethers like no need to build it up it just insta tethered every single time as soon as he touched the ghosts. He was literally mapping ghosts on the museum all the way across the long rooms and just perma tethering ghosts.
Haven’t run into any. And that sucks that they’re already becoming a thing, hope some kind of anti cheat comes. I don’t see the fun in cheating, must be so boring for them
I played with a guy on launch day that would escape all the time. It was like everytime we caught him we had to do it twice cause he'd escape the first time. You could hear him tapping like crazy though. I'm way to lazy for that
I've been really enjoying this game so far. I have to say though, I've been having a tough time as the ghost. I don't think I've won a game yet, although I came *really close* a couple times. My problem seems to be that the busters are always grouped up, always packing multiple stuns and seem to find me instantly. I barely even have a chance to haunt my initial starting room before they're all over me. I do think I'm improving but it has been quite the challenge. But the Poltergeist looks like fun. I've got a few more levels to go before I unlock him.
so true! from my experience it gets harder and harder the higher the level of the busters in your lobby is. i think i got pretty good at haunting over the last couple of days, but the stun + instant trap combo is so annoying it feels like you never can do something about this. there seem to be some stun and trap perks that can be unlocked later. they only need to stun you and then throw an instant opening trap directly under you in a flash and dont even need to use the weapon anymore. and of course dont need other busters around. i didnt figure out yet how to play around this except being as sneaky as possible.
@@simonwagner3723 Yeah, I've been facing a lot of lobbies with lvl 50+ busters and it can be a pain. I do see some areas where my skill at playing ghost is improving and I have won a few games at this point but going against experienced busters can be really frustrating sometimes. To be honest, I think there are a few RNG elements that, with just some slight tweaking, could help make a smoother experience. For one, initial rift spawns should be regulated a little better. I had a match as a Buster where a rift spawned almost within spitting distance of the starting location and I found it within 20 seconds of the match starting. That doesn't feel very fair. For another, I feel like when the ghost respawns at a rift, it should be the furthest rift away from the busters (and maybe, if the final rift, the rift should be relocated to a random location that is at least a certain minimum distance from the busters, to prevent a snowball effect).
@@Webhead123 another idea would be, that the ghost has a 1 minute timer before the match is starting (while the busters can equip themselves in the starting area, or driving by with the buster car) so the ghosty can hide the rifts where he want them to be. It seems there are only a few random positions for rifts in those maps you can find very easily after you played them a few times as buster.
@@simonwagner3723 I agree. I've noticed that I've gotten pretty good at predicting where rifts are likely to spawn on some of the maps. Either a bit more randomization in the initial spawn locations or give the ghost player some ability to affect their placement.
@@Webhead123 in my last games i detonated a rift right after start to push the haunt of one room up asap. when they are destroyed anyway in 2 minutes, i can better do it myself and have some value xD
have you found out what "shocked" mean yet? played some good matches as poltergeist but i have no idea what it actually does. does it damage the equipment? disturb the proton pack? i wish they would explain the attributes and stats and effects clearly.
Doesn’t seem like this ghosts power that’s supposed to recharge his pke faster when in electronic items work like at all. Like it seems like still charges same as other ghosts.
That's not a glitch spot. Lol, i have pulled a few ghost out of there with a tether. I normally run with a bud so once out they get stun locked and trapped. Kinda like ppl trying to hide on the balconies in the ship map. The only way to fully chese is to glitch out of the map. (Then get reported for exploiting)
Yea poltergeist is the most OP in the game. I honestly thing they need a rebalance. Had a game where I locked all 4 Ghostbusters down for the whole game. They may as well been AFK. The game is fun but needs a few tweaks
Sorry to say this, but all the three skins of it, they look terrible... Instead, the best looking ones are both the infernal and wraith so far. The problem is that they are also very difficult to control, as they can hardly break free from a ghostbusters tethering though.
