Phasmophobia's recent Chronicle update revamped its evidence collection system, and the "On Record" weekly challenge is designed to familiarize players with these changes. Completing this challenge offers a significant boost in cash and XP, making it a worthwhile endeavor for any ghost hunter. This guide will walk you through how to tackle the "On Record" challenge at Bleasdale Farmhouse.
How to Complete the "On Record" Challenge in Phasmophobia
To successfully complete the "On Record" weekly challenge, you need to identify the ghost present at Bleasdale Farmhouse in three unique contracts. Since this is a weekly challenge, you must achieve this before the challenge period ends.
What is the "On Record" Challenge in Phasmophobia?
The "On Record" challenge is one of Phasmophobia's rotating weekly trials. It specifically focuses on the new content introduced in the Chronicle update, emphasizing the gathering of audio, video, and photo evidence using the overhauled evidence collection system. This challenge is an excellent way to practice and master the new mechanics, especially with the Sound Recorder.

"On Record" Challenge Tips in Phasmophobia
While not the absolute toughest challenge, "On Record" can still be tricky
due to its specific rules and the random nature of ghost activity. Here
are some tips to help you succeed:
Play with Friends:
- Any
challenge mode is significantly easier with teammates. Bleasdale
Farmhouse is a medium-sized map, making coordination with allies
invaluable for efficient investigation, evidence gathering, and staying
safe. Team up with friends or use public lobbies.
Start with an Equipment Pile:
- The walk
from the truck to the front door of Bleasdale Farmhouse can be long.
During the initial 60-second setup phase (or even before opening the
front door to prevent the grace period from starting), bring all the
essential items you plan to use over to the front door. Create a
centralized "equipment pile" for quick access throughout the round. This saves valuable time, especially with the very short 3-second hunt grace period.
Utilize the Sound Recorder (and other media tools) for XP/Cash:
- While the
primary goal is ghost identification, the challenge's theme, "On
Record," encourages using the updated media system. Even if it doesn't
directly contribute to the ghost type evidence, continuously trying to
capture unique sound, video, and photo evidence (as outlined in the
previous response) will significantly boost your end-of-round cash and
XP. This is a great opportunity to get familiar with the new mechanics
without fear of losing items.
Use Your Crucifixes Effectively:
- You have
two Tier II Crucifixes. Given the short 3-second grace period, placing
these strategically in or around the ghost room as soon as you identify
it is paramount. They will provide vital protection against early hunts, giving you more time to gather evidence.
Don't Give Up:
- Challenge modes are designed to test your skills, and the "Lose items and
consumables: Off" rule means there's no penalty for dying. Phasmophobia involves a lot of RNG (Random Number Generation) regarding ghost
behavior and evidence manifestation. Some matches will naturally be
harder than others. If you're struggling, make an educated guess, try
again, and learn from each attempt. Persistence is key to completing
this challenge and improving your overall ghost-hunting abilities.
