Hey ghost hunters! You know those days in Phasmophobia when nothing goes right and you just feel like saying, 'It’s just one of those days'? Trust me, I've had my fair share, and often it starts even before the hunt begins – right when you're trying to figure out which contract to pick! That's why understanding how to effectively 'vote on a contract' is super important, not just for success, but for keeping your sanity (and your character alive!). I remember staring at that mission board, trying to make sense of everything. The game explicitly guides you to 'Vote on a contract using the board to the left,' and it's truly the hub for your next ghostly adventure. Here's a quick rundown of how I learned to navigate it and make better choices, especially when trying to get 'many rewards as possible'. First off, when you load into the game and are in the lobby, head over to the mission selection board. It’s usually on the left side of the room, near the truck. You'll see several available contracts listed. Each one gives you a brief overview: the map, the ghost type (sometimes, if you're lucky enough to have it revealed or narrowed down), and the rewards for completing it. The game encourages you to 'Choose a contract' based on your team's preference. To vote, simply click on the contract you want to play. You'll see a small indicator appear next to it, showing that you've cast your vote. Other players in your lobby will do the same. Once a majority vote is cast for a particular contract, or if everyone agrees on one, it gets selected. It’s a simple system, but knowing what to look for when choosing can make all the difference. When I'm deciding, I often consider the specific objectives. Some contracts might require you to capture 'unique videos with a Video Camera', which means you'll definitely need to bring one along for 'Video Recordings'. Others might be about getting specific evidence like 'EMF Level 5', detecting 'D.O.T.S Projector' interactions, finding 'Ultraviolet' fingerprints, or pinpointing 'Freezing Temperatures'. Don't forget those 'Ghost Orb' sightings and ensuring 'Ghost Writing' happens in your book! And always have your 'Spirit Box' ready for those audio cues. My personal tip: always communicate with your team! There’s nothing worse than everyone voting for different things and wasting time. Discuss what kind of map you want to play or what difficulty you’re in the mood for. Sometimes, the higher 'ct Payment' for harder contracts is really tempting, but it's not worth it if you're constantly dying like I've had 'a lot' of 'bad days' and 'died a lot today' trying to tackle nightmare maps solo. Focus on contracts that allow you to practice gathering all types of evidence – whether it's setting up for 'Video Recordings' or listening for 'Sound Recordings'. Every bit of evidence helps in identifying the 'correct ghost type'. Remember, picking the right contract isn't just about the money; it's about setting yourself up for a successful and fun ghost hunt. So next time you're in the lobby, take a moment, discuss with your team, and vote wisely on that contract board. Happy hunting!
