Multiplayer Jobs

Multiplayer Jobs is the online multiplayer component of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which is only available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For a list of Multiplayer-Exclusive ghosts, go here.

Modes

• Containment - Capture all ghosts in a limited time. Every match begins with one wave, which always has only one ghost. Capturing a ghost adds more time. Every time a current wave has all ghosts captured, a new wave with more ghosts than the previous wave will occur. To win, you must capture all of the ghosts before time runs out. You lose if time runs out before all the ghosts are trapped or if all the players are incapacitated.
• Destruction - Destroy evil artifacts to get rid of the ghosts they spawn. Destroying the ghosts themselves, while it is an option, doesn't make much progress as another one takes its place within a short frame of time. Players can destroy the ghosts to free the player destroying the artifact of distraction. The players win by destroying all artifacts. They lose if all are incapacitated or if time runs out.
• Protection - Charge up three PKE Disruptors in a set time limit. You have to protect one PKE Disruptor at a time. When a PKE Disruptor is starting to charge up, you have to protect it from the ghosts that try to destroy it before it has enough energy to vaporize all ghosts in its vicinity. Once one PKE Disruptor is fully charged, you move on to the next one. This goes on until all three PKE Disruptors are charged. If not all of them are charged by the time time runs out or all players are incapacitated, you lose.
• Slime Dunk - Players compete to see how much they can capture the Slimer ghosts in the Super Slammer Trap before anyone else. The winner has the most points by dunking Slimer the most time and the loser has the least points by dunking Slimer the least amount of times. This is the only multiplayer job where teamwork is not required.
• Survival - Survive 10 waves of ghosts without all of the players being incapacitated. The players lose if they fail to survive a round. To survive the ghosts, you have to destroy or capture them. It is wise to revive other players the moment they are knocked out by a ghost.
• Thieves - Greedy spirits will come to steal four artifacts and you have to stop them before they get away. To win, there has to be at least one artifact remaining when the time runs out.
