Patch 1.3.0 (12/13/22) Details[]
Full list of what is in Patch 1.3.0, released on December 13, 2022 Mrmichaelt (talk) 00:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Welcome to Patch 1.3.0!
A large part of this QOL update is focused on gameplay balance adjustments. Initially after launching and observing gameplay, we were able to make some smaller adjustments in the recent hotfixes. However, we quickly began to notice patterns that brought light to larger imbalances. Between looking at match data, talking with the community, playing the game, and watching various livestreams/videos, it was clear to us that the Ghost was consistently at a disadvantage.
For this update, our goal is to help the Ghost perform better in certain areas while also remaining measured to avoid a massive pendulum swing in balance. This was done mainly by nerfing Ghostbuster gear and tightening up the effectiveness of Ghost functionality instead of simply providing the Ghost with a flat increase in power.
We look forward to playing more with everyone and we’ll keep an eye out to make sure the impact of these changes continue to keep this game as enjoyable to play as possible!
-Design Director, Jordan Mathewson

Patch 1.4.0 (1/31/23) Details[]
Patch Notes 1.4.0 (DLC #1) New Map - MOROS Medical Facility Introducing the MOROS Medical Facility, the latest job that has become available in the Firehouse!
Closed for good in the late 1980s, MOROS Medical has recently been purchased by a private investor group who have plans to renovate and reopen the facility. Unfortunately for them, it’s being plagued by ghostly activity, and construction crews refuse to enter this haunted health center.
New Ghost Type - Glutton The new Glutton type is a bit more unique than your standard Ghost. Gluttons all share the unique ability “Consume” which allows them to munch away on many objects inside the different maps. By consuming objects, they will increase their bloat meter, which increases the power of their Ultimate abilities! Each variant has a different type of regurgitation Ultimate that expels the consumed debris in powerful attacks. Although their Ultimates benefit from a lower cooldown, you must consume enough to utilize their full potential.
- Muncher
- Spew
- Heap
Two New Secondary Gadgets - Belt Gizmo & Disruptor Pylon Two new secondary gadgets have been added to the Ghostbuster’s toolkit to further diversify busting gameplay. Visit the workbench or the gear cart to equip these new items once you are at the appropriate level.
Belt Gizmo Simple and small, but effective, the Belt Gizmo is a passive gadget that dulls your Ectovision signature substantially while worn. This makes it much more difficult for the ghosts to track you, though it does not prevent it completely if your fear levels are too high.
Disruptor Pylon Deployable, battery pylon device that scans a large area around it for psycho kinetically infused physical objects. If a P.K.E. infused object is detected, the arc field being generated charges and fires on the object, destroying it. Ghosts in the vicinity of the Disruptor pylon are unable to possess objects
New Gear Attachment - P.K.E. Meter: Ecto-Zapper A new arm attachment for the P.K.E. meter provides busters an alternative ghost stunning device. The Ecto Zapper must be activated and thrusted to stun ghosts, but can also passively stun ghosts passing through the buster if they have the zapper activated. The Ecto Zapper is unlockable via research contract and while the range is limited, has a shorter reboot time.
Customization New Cosmetic - Gear Shells Want a specific look but want to keep attachment modifications? We've got you covered with Gear shells. Gear Shells override the gear look without removing the attachment stat modifications. Some of the more unique attachments, such as the R.T.V. kit do not allow shells due to their unique functionality and will state this upon equipping.
New Buster Customization - Morph Targets Customize your Buster’s face the way you REALLY want to!
With these new Morph Targets, you will be able to adjust your Buster’s face in a variety of different ways. We added negative values that allow you to make facial features smaller.
Suit Patches There’s a whole bunch of new Patches to put on your suit and a new corkboard in the Firehouse to display your collection of Patches!
The Real Ghostbusters We’ve also got a ton of new cosmetics coming out in this patch such as The Real Ghostbusters Hairstyles, Eyewear, and Gear Shells.
Ghost Swapping You all have been asking for this feature and it’s finally here!
Ghosts are now able to swap to different Ghost Type mid-match. You can select the Ghost Type that you would like to remanifest as in the Pause Menu or after being captured as the Ghost.
After being captured, you will remanifest as the Ghost that you have selected
Patch Notes 1.4.0 (DLC #1) - pt.2 Tenure (Level 2) Tenure now has an additional level that unlocks a very special cosmetic!
Go check it out in the Firehouse right now!
News Bulletin There is now a News Bulletin located in the Main Menu and Pause Menu with the latest Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed announcements!
Quick Access Menu You can now access everything you need in the Firehouse in one centralized location!
The Quick Access Menu is now available and is located in the Pause Menu under Quick Access

Patch Notes 1.4.0 (DLC #1) - pt.3 Gear Attachment Changes
General
- Large readability pass to improve user feedback for gadget abilities. This includes improvements to sounds, VFX, and UI to show proper cooldown feedback to the player when using a special attachment.
Snub Nose
- Increased Mantle Duration
We found some gear upgrade builds made mantle duration overly fast, making some mantle animations look and feel glitchy and making mantle mobility disproportionate to normal buster navigation. Since the Snub Nose upgrade has so many benefits associated with it, we felt reducing the Mantle Duration speed boost would help even out the utility of the upgrade
Cryo Syncs
- Reduced Heat Generation
Particle Thruster
- Fixed a bug where stat changes on the Particle Thruster weren't being applied
- Reduced Proton Stream Range
- Replaced Tether Strength with Heat Generation
Particle Thruster is on a mode switch, which toggles between PT Mode and normal mode when the ability button is pressed when the buster isn't firing. This allows players to pick when they want to use the extra heat gen to boost their stream range. PT Mode is also affected by other stat changes made by the buster's other gear upgrades
Centrifugal Thruster
- Added Sprint Boost
- Removed Overheat Cooldown Duration
- Replaced Knockback Recovery with Venting Speed
- Reduced Deploy Time
Ghosts
- Reduced Cooldowns of Ultimates across all Ghost types
- Made improvements to Ghost animations, VFX, and emotes
- Ghosts now have a short cooldown between possessing objects when using tap to possess
- Ghost Traps are now able to be destroyed by more Ghost attacks and abilities
- Destruction to objects now increase overall haunt rate
- AI Ghosts now run away when they are unable to grab an exposed rift
- Fixed an issue with Ectovision SFX not playing properly when exiting a possessable object Mrmichaelt (talk) 03:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Patch 1.5.0 (aka DLC 2 Patch) (4/20/23) Details[]
Everyone here at IllFonic is excited and proud to present our second free DLC Update for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed! I’m particularly excited about this update due to the numerous fun additions and countless improvements directly influenced by your, the community's, feedback. Not only is there a new map to play, but a new ghost type that gave us a unique opportunity to bring the iconic Terror Sentinel to the hands of a player. We've all seen this Ghost command the big screen, so being able to translate all of those qualities to the Possessor Ghost type was a dream come true and creates interesting new gameplay for everyone.
Another part of the excitement for this update lies in the implementation of Drudges. These little helpers are sent by Tobin to aid the ghosts in their haunting of locations. 3 start in the map to help haunt or scare civilians and more can be summoned from exposed Rifts. With this addition, balance was unsurprisingly shifted and required us to make adjustments to variables surrounding room and location haunting speeds now that the ghost had backup. After you jump in and pop a few Drudges, head back to the Firehouse to check out the large assortment of cosmetics and gear shells from the Extreme Ghostbusters! We look forward to seeing everyone out there enjoying the new scenarios and thrills that await with all these new features and the quality life improvements.
While I won’t talk about all the awesome things that got added or fixed, please read through the patch notes to see the full list of changes. Many thanks for the continued suggestions and feedback, enjoy the update!
Lead Designer, Jordan Mathewson
New Map
S.C.Y. County Courthouse Strange activity reported at this Courthouse has made it difficult to conduct legal proceedings.
