UPGRADES

Each equipment item now has 3 tiers, increasing our Equipment count from 22 to 60!
Tiers cost a large sum of money to unlock, but each tier will cost the same to
bring into a contract.

To upgrade a piece of equipment, reach the required level, go to the shop and press
on any item’s UI tile on the screen, then hit upgrade!

RENAMING
Several names have been replaced to accommodate changes or for the new upgrade
tiers, so that the word covers a broader spectrum:
Fingerprints (evidence) -> Ultraviolet
Footsteps (photos and descriptions) -> Footprints
Candles and Lantern -> Firelight
Matchbox and Lighters -> Igniter
Smudge Sticks and Censer -> Incense
Camcorders and Movie Camera -> Video Camera
Glowsticks and UV torches -> UV Light
Sanity Drink, Pills and Shot -> Sanity Medication
Head Mounted Camera, Flashlight and Goggles -> Head Gear
Weak or Strong flashlights -> Flashlight

D.O.T.S
We felt that DOTS wasn’t a very interactive evidence type, so we’ve completely
refactored it from the ground up. Instead of being a clone of the ghost that gets
spawned in and revealed with DOTS, the following will happen:
You will no longer get duplicate DOTS ghosts, or DOTS triggering during events,
hunts or other interactions
Ghosts with DOTS evidence can now enter a short “DOTS state”; where they are
temporarily visible with infrared light, during this time they will wander towards
the nearest player before disappearing (if the player is in the same room)
DOTS Ghost photos now count as normal ghost photos
Note: Banshees will try to roam towards their target instead

FIRELIGHTS AND IGNITERS

You can now turn off Firelights by pressing the Use button again while holding it
Firelights now have a duration for their effects, and no longer stop the sanity
drain completely, with different amounts of sanity benefits per tier

PARABOLIC MICROPHONE
When using a Parabolic microphone, you will now clearly hear all sounds you are
aiming towards, within range, while all other sounds will be muffled

INCENSE
The interval in which the ghost checks if an Incense is active, is now much
smaller, making repelling the ghost much more consistent
Using Incense during another Incense's effect will now reset the timer instead of
doing nothing

SALT AND ULTRAVIOLET

Salt will now only reveal footprints if the ghost has Ultraviolet evidence
UV prints must now be charged by a UV light to take a successful photo
Footprints will be affected by ghost traits similar to Fingerprints
Glowsticks can now be used again after they dim to shake and revitalize the light
they produce

THERMOMETERS AND TEMPERATURES

Thermometers are now counted as a starter item alongside the other evidence items
The cold breath effect will now show at 5 degrees Celsius and below.
You must now use a Thermometer to find freezing temperatures at 0 Celsius (32
Fahrenheit) or below
To receive a room temperature reading you must now hold the “Use” button for a
short period (Tiers II and III only)
Room temperatures will now be much more consistent between players
Freezing ghosts can lower the temperature to -10C, non-freezing ghosts can lower to
1C
Temperatures will now drop at 1/3 the current speed, if the temperature is below
the minimum weather temperature

TRIPODS AND VIDEO CAMERAS

Max amount reduced to 4
Ghosts can now throw video cameras like other items
Ghosts can now rarely knock over tripods

CONSUMABLES
Some items are now consumable! This means that if you use an item during a
contract, marked as “consumable” in the shop, you will have to purchase it again
when you leave.
Disabling "lose items" in Custom Difficulty will not consume items (rewards are
still set to 0x)
Crucifix: All tiers
Firelight I and II
Igniter: All tiers
Incense I and II
Salt: All tiers
Sanity Medication: All tiers

PHOTO SYSTEM
Added a new photo camera system which takes into consideration the distance and
view angle of the evidence. This will significantly change the quality of photos.
Evidence in photos will now need to be closer and centralized to get a higher
quality reward.
