The Ghost Lantern is a Heavy weapon added in the 10.6.1 update.

Appearance

The weapon takes the form of a lantern in the shape of the face of a purple ghost, with glowing green eyes on the top section and on the bottom section, and a handle on top.

When fired, the "mouth" opens and releases a blue ghost-like projectile, revealing extendable rods that act as the teeth of the lantern and contains a rotating orb, until it closes again.

Strategy

This weapon is capable of a 1 shot kill as of the new update. It have an extremely slow fire rate, a low capacity but no reload, and low mobility.

Tips

  • This weapon is excellent choice for closed corriders such as the main hallway in silent school or the changing rooms in pool party as it is very hard to avoid the big ghosts. Never use this weapon at long ranges as it have a bullet travel time, and the ghost will disappear after a while.
  • This weapon is very powerful as of the 13.1.0 update, with its damage buffed back to a 1 shot kill.
  • You move slowly when using this weapon. Use a high mobility melee, or if you have it, use the soulstone as a replacement.
  • This weapon do travel through walls, so if you see a name tag over a wall that you are near, fire and hopefully get a kill.
  • This weapon have a slow fire rate. After you fired, switch to another weapon and use that weapon until you can fire again.

Counters

  • Pick off its users at long range. It will not hit you at long range because the ghost breaks after a while. Plus, you can see the ghost a long way so you can easily avoid it.
  • Don't get in close range. Rocket jump or use a melee to get out of the situation.
  • Use flamethrowers, ninja shurikens, or whatever other weapons are good at an emergency situation. At the worst-case scenario, use this weapon, or the soulstone, yourself. If you are good with snipers, noscope the ghost lantern user.
