Is there something strange in your neighborhood? Then you need the Ghostbusters! This FAQ addresses frequently asked question regarding gameplay elements in Ghostbusters. Note that while there are no strategy hints or tips in the following article, it is possible that certain story or gameplay elements may be spoiled by these questions.

General Issues

1. I’ve cleared a level but all of the doors are closed and I can’t progress. What’s going on?

Certain ghosts may hide within the level. Be sure you’ve thoroughly searched the area using your PKE meter.

2. I’m still stuck in a level. I’ve searched all over the place using the PKE meter and can’t find any hidden ghosts, and the doors won’t open. What’s going on?

While extremely rare, it is possible that the game has “missed” the checkpoint to progress in the level even though you’ve defeated all of the ghosts. If this happens, restart the level at the previous checkpoint and be sure to capture all of the ghosts.

3. There’s a ghost stuck inside the architecture of the room and no matter what I do, I can’t capture it. What’s going on?

This is a very rare issue. If you experience it, you can restart the level from the last checkpoint.

4. My character is walking much slower than the other characters. What’s going on?

This is a rare issue that can be fixed by switching to your PKE meter and then back to your regular weapon.

5. I’m having performance issues during ghost captures. Is there any way to fix this?

Yes. This comes up when the game has been running for an extended period of time, and can be resolved by restarting the game.

6. I was playing through the tutorial and I fired my weapon. Now the weapon won’t stop firing. How do I fix this?

In the event that you experience this, simply press the vent (reload) button to resolve it.

7. My AI teammate just disappeared while playing through a level. How do I fix this?

Simply progress through the level to the next cutscene or restart the level from your last saved checkpoint.

8. A friend joined me in the middle of a level and was automatically assigned a character. Is there any way to choose which character they’re going to play?

No. If players join the game in the middle of a level, they’ll be automatically assigned to a random character. Once the level is complete, however, the new player will be able to select their character before the next level begins.

Classic Ghostbusters Suits

1. I downloaded the classic brown Ghostbusters suits. Where do I find them and how do I equip them on my character?

Once downloaded, the classic Ghostbusters suits will be available on the character selection screen that appears when you select a mission from the map of Manhattan.
