Your first match, step by step

Step
In short Getting through your first match is mostly about staying calm, using your journal, and not wandering alone.

When you join a lobby as host, use the Setup button to pick a map and difficulty. Add items from your inventory before readying up, then wait for everyone else to ready before the match starts.

  1. Open Setup pick a map and set difficulty.
  2. Add items use the Add button to load your flashlight and any equipment you own into the match.
  3. Check your flashlight you get a weak one by default; press T to use it as a headlamp while holding another tool.
  4. Open the journal it has a FAQ section you can read mid-match whenever you are confused.
  5. Guess the ghost and survive both are required to earn cash and progress toward level badges.

Reading the evidence

Tips
In short Combining two or more pieces of evidence is how you pin down which ghost you are dealing with.

Each ghost leaves a specific combination of clues. Recording what you find in the journal and cross-referencing with your teammates narrows the possibilities quickly. The shortcuts below come straight from confirmed evidence patterns in the game.

Tips worth knowing
  • No Spirit Box response and no freezing temperatures always means a Revenant or Shade.
  • Spirit Box response plus freezing temperatures narrows it to a Demon, Mare, or Wendigo.
  • Fingerprints with EMF 5 but no freezing temperatures always points to a Revenant specifically.
  • Fingerprints together with orbs always means a Poltergeist.
  • Sanity draining extremely fast during a hunt is a strong sign of a Phantom.
  • Ghost speed increasing as team sanity drops is a Wendigo tell.

Settings to adjust before you play

Check
In short The lobby settings menu lets you dial in the experience before a single match starts.

SPECTER contains flashing lights, loud noises, and frightening scenes. The lobby offers an extensive settings menu specifically so you can reduce or adjust any of these before entering a match. Headphones are recommended since audio cues are a core part of finding evidence.

  • Read the journal FAQ once before your first match to understand the basic controls.
  • If you have a heart condition, epilepsy, or anxiety disorder, review the content warnings and consult a doctor before playing.

Leveling up and upgrading gear

Summary
In short Correct guesses and survival are the two levers that drive your level, cash, and progression.

Cash is awarded when you identify the ghost correctly. Vans and equipment both support upgrades, and you can buy your first van from the Daily Shop. Progressing through level milestones earns badges, with notable rewards at Level 100 and Prestige 10.

  • Cash earned awarded for correctly identifying the ghost at the end of a match.
  • Van upgrade purchase a van from the Daily Shop, then upgrade it to unlock the Mechanic badge.
  • Equipment upgrade upgrade a piece of equipment to unlock the Tinkerer badge.
  • Difficulty bonus completing Hard or Insanity while surviving and guessing correctly awards separate badges.
  • Level 100 milestone reaching it earns the Hex Van.
  • Prestige 10 / Level 1000 the top level badge in the game, requiring multiple prestige cycles.
06

Easter eggs and secret badges

Tips
In short Several maps hide optional secrets that reward unique characters and outfits unavailable anywhere else.

Completing a map's easter egg requires specific in-map actions beyond the normal ghost hunt.

Tips worth knowing
  • Clinic's easter egg rewards 5 Notes — sort the colored files into rooms matching the wall color.
  • Hideout's easter egg involves checking vents until a key drops, then using it to unlock a nearby door.
  • Town's Fuses easter egg unlocks the Jonas character along with two notes.
  • Art Gallery's Heist easter egg unlocks Breelyn and a note.
  • Arcade's Project A.R.E.S. easter egg unlocks The Doctor character, a note, and 10,000 cash.
  • Chalet's F to Pay Respects easter egg unlocks the Zachary Winters skin, which requires the Winters character to be equipped before use.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need to both survive and guess correctly to get rewards?

Yes. The Normal, Hard, and Insanity badges all require you to guess the correct ghost and survive the match.

Can I play SPECTER without spending Robux?

Insanity difficulty requires the host to own the Insanity Mode gamepass, but every other difficulty is free to play.

How do I use the flashlight as a headlamp?

Make sure the flashlight is in your inventory, then equip any other item (or nothing) and press T on PC, or tap the light bulb icon on mobile.
