Ghost wrangling
 
v
Ghost wrangling
We may not be cowboys, kid, but we affectionately refer to what we do as “wrangling.” Ghosts don’t like to go down easily, but one way or another we always find a way to getthem in the box. While no two ghosts ever go down the same, the basic technique for Ghost wrangling is the same. We’d be remiss if we didn’t teach you the ropes. But moreimportantly, as your employers, we’d be in big legal trouble. So let’s get started, shall we?
LIGHTS AND METERS
First things first, cadet. In order toenter into combat, you must firstknow how to monitor your healthand your Proton Pack. On the rightside of your Proton Pack is thedisplay seen above. The red barsmeasure your pack’s heat levels.The more you fire your ProtonStream, the closer the bars get tofull. When the bars are completely full, the Proton Pack overheats. You must allow it tocool down before you can fire it again. If you don’t pay close attention to this, you couldfind yourself surrounded by ghosts with nothing to shoot at them but witticisms.
The green bars are directly connected to a health-monitoring system integrated intoyour suit. When you’re completely healthy, the bars will be full and bright green. LikeSlimer. When you take damage, the bars will slowly deplete and your vision will blur. Ifyou take too much damage, the bars will deplete completely and you will go down untilone of the other Ghostbusters revives you. If you’re the last to go down, it’s mission failure!
The three circular lights at the center are pretty. Really, that’s theonly reason they’re there. They don’t represent anything.
TEAMMATE ICONS
HealthyMan Down!Man Possessed!
In the upper right hand corner of your HUDD, you’ll often see one of the aboveicons. These teammate icons will always be surrounded by a little pointer directing youto your teammate’s location. If the teammate’s icon has open eyes, he is fine and frisky.In fact, you’ll only ever see this when you’re in need of help and the active ’Buster isen route to help you to your feet.When the teammate’s eye are shut, it means he’s down. Follow the arrow to hislocation and help him get to his feet! Glowing eyes on a teammate indicates he iscurrently possessed. While he’s not completely down and out, he’s out of action andcan, in fact pose a threat to you if you leave him that way. Follow the arrow indicator toyour possessed pal and hose him down with slime to exorcise his demons!

TARGET RETICLE AND INDICATORS
While in combat, your HUDD will give you readouts for various points of interest,such as a target’s current PK energy reserves, your currently selected ghostbustingequipment, and even property damage incurred!Reticle and PKE Reader: This is your reticle. Aim it at the target you want to
1.
shoot. If the target is a paranormal entity, a circle of green bars will appeararound the reticle to indicate the target’s current PK energy reserves. As youdisperse the creature’s PKE, the green circle of bars will disappear. When thebars are red, you are able to engage your Capture Stream and proceed to thesecond phase of Ghost wrangling. But you’ll learn more on that later in thechapter.Current Tool Equipped: This shows your currently equipped ghostbusting tool.

Tools OF The Trade
This is your “Equipment, Functions, and Facilitation” section. In it, you will learn everything you need to know about all of the experimental equipment you’ll be testing. Youmay be familiar with the Proton Pack, but what you don’t know is that one Proton Pack has several different attachments and upgrades capable of doing everything from firingpositively charged slime to shooting heat-seeking Meson particles! Of course, if you are not careful or if you simply don’t know what your Proton Pack can do, you can blowyourself clear to New Jersey. And you don’t want to end up there. It’s Jersey ...
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
BLAST STREAM KICKBACK REDUCTION
Effect: Removes Movement Restrictions
Increasing the pack’s number of nucleon jackets as well asadding a second proton buffer reduces the Proton Stream’snegative energy kickback, allowing the user to move morequickly while firing this device. Note: Smoking emitter coilsare considered normal and should not cause undue concern.
This upgrade increases your mobility while firing theProton Stream, allowing you to chase creatures on themove while maintaining maximum accuracy.
BOSON DART
Category: Proton
Boson Darts are super depolarized bursts of extremely volatile, but very effective, bosonparticles. Boson particles quickly overheat the Proton pack, so sparse usage is recommended.Accidental Neutrona Wand blockage could vaporize the surrounding three square miles.
Boson Darts are extremely effective bursts of protons that can quickly dispersebig chunks of a target’s PK energy. While this tool can be used in conjunction with theProton Stream for a powerful one-two punch, the Boson Dart can also be used by itselfto knock large enemies back or to disperse groups of smaller enemies. Use Boson Dartsagainst small packs of creatures to inflict damage over a wider range or to blow offchunks of PK energy from moderately sized targets.
Be careful while firing this at close-range enemies, kiddo. I madethe mistake of blasting a Class IV Animator at close range andthe darn thing knocked me right off my feet. If Egon hadn’t beenthere to pick me up, I’d be a ghost right now, too!
UPGRADES
BOSON DART SUPERCHARGE
Effect: Heat Cost Reduction and Damage IncreaseIt has been discovered that the addition of a fermionabsorption ring to the Proton Pack’s Neutrona Wandsubstantially reduces boson particle overheating,allowing more Boson Darts to be fired before causingpack shutdown. Boson Dart impact damage is alsoincreased. Also, accidental Neutrona Wand blockagevaporization damage is reduced to only one mile!Of all Proton Pack upgrades, this Boson Dart upgradeis the best. Because the Boson Dart is extremely powerful, the ability to fire more Dartsper charging cycle greatly increases your capacity to dish out damage in a short period oftime. The increase in damage output is nice also.
PROTON PACK ANDNEUTRONA WAND
This is an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on your backthat functions by concentrating protons through theNeutrona Wand. It’s your main tool against negativelycharged ectoplasmic entities. It monitors your health,equipment heat levels, and has several different metersand gauges to monitor your various attachments.
PROTON STREAM
Category: ProtonUsing the Proton Pack’s particle accelerator, the Neutrona Wand releases a concentratedstream of protons that fluctuates as it reaches its target. The fluctuations of the BlastStream tend to cause extensive property damage.This is your most basic and reliable tool. Most negatively charged ectoplasmicentities are extremely vulnerable to the Proton Stream, so use this as your primaryattack. Always start with the Proton Stream before trying other devices. Of all of yourequipment, the Proton Stream is the most accurate. Use it against enemies at a distanceand follow them around as they attempt to evade you. However, because the ProtonStream has a small damage radius, it is not as effective against smaller creatures thattravel in packs, such as groups of Candelabrum Crawlers, Book Bats, and Flying Skulls.
UPGRADES
BLAST STREAM FOCUSING
Effect: Reduces Beam WanderingUtilizing a series of charged nucleon jackets, the BlastStream Focuser increases the Proton Stream’s stability,greatly reducing the amount of beam perturbation or“wander.”This increases your Proton Stream’s accuracy.

Tools OF The Trade
PKE METER RECHARGE BOOSTER
Effect: Decrease Scan Reading TimeReplacing the PKE Meter’s magnetron with a miniaturizedklystron amplifier not only improves the received scansignal strength, but also reduces the intrascan resetpause, resulting in a substantial decrease in the scanrecharge time. Also, scanning now releases the refreshingscent of lilacs.This upgrade allows you to use your PKE Meter toscan entities sooner after having used the PKE Meteronce already.
CAPTURE STREAM
Category: ProtonThe Capture Stream allows for the containment of ghosts. The Capture Stream canbe used to contain ghosts over a trap and to manipulate ethereal objects away fromspecters. Once contained in a Capture Stream, ghosts can be thrown against walls,causing damage or even complete neutronization.Even though the Capture Stream is an extension of the Proton Stream, it functionsdifferently. After activating the Capture Stream, the rapidly fluctuating particles steady just enough to capture whatever they’ve surrounded, essentially creating a proton“cage” around the target. A pleasant side effect of the particles’ steadying is that theCapture Stream is incapable of overheating your Proton Pack. Once a target is capturedin the stream, you can use it to wrangle the creature as it struggles to get loose, thenslam it around to daze it. The Capture Stream can also be used on inanimate objects tosolve environmental puzzles.
You know, recruit, modern advances in photographic technologyhave made it possible to digitally record supernatural activity.Using your PlayStation3’s XMB (Cross Media Bar), you can scrollto the Picture option and take a screenshot of the in-gameaction!
CAPTURE AND TRAPPINGDEVICES
Paranormal combat is only half the battle. You candisperse some ghost’s PK energy until you’re blue in theface, but if you can’t trap it then you’re only wastingenergy—energy that could power a city block for a week.In fact, the Ghostbusting process doesn’t even begin withcombat! In order to fight and trap ethereal entities, youmust first be able to locate them! The following devicesare designed for supernatural detection and appre-hension only.
PKE METER AND PARAGOGGLES
Category: DetectionThe PKE Meter measures electromagnetic fluctuations like a divining rod: Point it atpsychokinetic energy and it heats up. Point it away and it goes cold. Just follow thesignal to your target. Scan ghosts to add their paranormal information to your electronic
Tobin’s Spirit Guide
. The Paragoggles are enabled whenever you use your PKE Meter.They allow you to view otherwise invisible ectoplasmic activity.On occasion your Haunt and Ultra-Dimensional Detection interface, or HUDD, willprompt you to activate your PKE Meter. When it does, take out your PKE Meter andParagoggles—they work in tandem—and follow the readings at the center of your PKEMeter. Red bars indicate a sample is currently active. Blue readings indicate a degradedsample, such as Cursed Artifacts, and green bars indicate a faint signal. At times yourParagoggles will reveal Ectoplasmic Residue, reducing the need for PKE Meter readings.
UPGRADES 
PKE METER SCAN IMPROVEMENT
Effect: Increase Scan Target SizeSubstituting the platinum core of the PKE Meter’sdetector assembly with a rhodium replacement increasesthe sensitivity of the PKE Meter’s neutron flux leveldetectors. This expands the PKE Meter’s active scan areamaking it easier to “frame” good scans of erraticallymoving entities. Please be aware that rhodium stronglystains human skin so tampering with the PKE Meter’sdetector assembly in the hopes of liberating this highlyvaluable exotic metal core for personal use will benoticed and is grounds for a harshly worded and very sarcastic verbal warning.This upgrade allows you to scan highly mobile entities much quicker.
