What does Blood Moon weather mean in Phasmophobia?
Encountering Blood Moon weather in a contract means you’re working with some special effects and modifiers that are exclusive to this weather type and drastically alter how the round progresses. This type of weather features a bright red sky with a full moon and consistent light rain that stays throughout the entire contract.
While other types of weather, like snow or rain, generally just make visibility and temperature readings a bit tougher to accurately track, Blood Moon weather fundamentally alters the rules of the round. If you head into a Blood Moon contract without understanding these changes, survival is unlikely, as this weather makes everything a lot tougher than you’d expect.
Blood Moon weather effects in Phasmophobia
There are three main effects associated with Blood Moon weather in Phasmophobia:
- Your passive sanity drain rate is increased by 100 percent.
- The contact payout is boosted by 10 percent.
- The ghost is 15 percent faster during hunts.
Essentially, the round is a lot tougher than usual, but you get increased rewards upon completing it. This weather basically acts as a high-risk, high-reward modifier that gives you a healthy bit of challenge. It’s more similar to a weekly challenge mode than it is to other weather types, which makes it a bit tricky to get used to.
How to get Blood Moon weather in Phasmophobia
Across all regular contracts, the weather is random, so there’s no way to guarantee you get Blood Moon weather. You can, however, create a custom mode and choose the type of weather you want, allowing you to activate the Blood Moon with ease. Certain weekly challenge modes may also have this type of weather selected. This weather is also much more common during the annual Crimson Eye event, when certain maps have this modifier toggled on each day.
How often does Blood Moon weather happen?
Blood Moon weather is very rare, so the chances of it happening in any contract are quite low. The exact percentage chance hasn’t been shared, but it’s much lower than all other types of weather, as it’s designed to be a rare occurrence.
