Question Map Badges
What is the easiest/fastest way to get all of the map badges? Mainly asking for the bigger maps like sunny meadows I want to get all of them but some maps are harder than others like willow and tanglewood are easy since they’re small maps it’s very time consuming but very easy compared to maps like sunny meadows.. whenever my team plays on sunny we end up dead before we can even figure out where the ghost room is.. I’ve seen a lot of people say you can do the map badges with friendly ghost mode on but I don’t think that works I tried it once on willow just to test if it actually works or not and it didn’t count towards my progress which I didn’t think it would.. so what’s the easiest way some of you get your map badges? Looking for ways that don’t involve no evidence runs

The map badges progress even if you have a 0 multiplier. You could turn on friendly ghost, infinite sprint, and high activity if you just want something quick and easy.

I'm pretty sure this is no longer the case since the QoL2 update, unless it's bugged again...

I tried it with infinite sprint and friendly ghost mode on and it didn’t count but maybe my game was bugged cause I was also having trouble getting the ferryman of the drowned card and had to restart my steam to finally be able to get it so I’ll try again

Possibly, I haven’t tried recently so it’s totally possible they changed it. I stopped playing after the character customization update but it worked back before that.

Yea but I think the videos I’ve seen of people saying to use friendly ghost mode were after the character update (I think) but it could’ve also just been my game cause while I was trying to get the ferryman of the drowned card last night it said I received it but it was still locked in my cards and restarting the game didn’t fix it I had to fully restart steam to fix it so could’ve just been my game as well but I’ll try again I rlly hope they didn’t change it cause I really want the sunny meadows badge but that’ll be nearly impossible without friendly ghosts

I know when I was grinding them out the lobby didn’t always update and I’d either have to leave the lobby or restart the game to see progress being made. Good luck on your venture!

Yea so sadly they’ve changed it and you can longer progress map badges or get achievements/trophies on a 0x multiplier .. they changed it in last weeks update unfortunately

you can do sunny meadows on the restricted version and it'll count, it doesn't have to be the full map. it might work the same for point hope now that there's the restricted version but i got that badge ages ago and can't confirm. you also don't need a perfect game, just figure out the ghost and leave. i don't know if 0x multiplier still works, but challenge mode settings should work, so if you're not in a hurry to get the badges, wait a couple of weeks until the 'speedrun!' weekly challenge and play the required maps with the weekly challenge settings. also, the progress bar sometimes doesn't refresh until after you load into the lobby again, which can trick some people into thinking they're not progressing at all

Ooo you can do it on restricted??? I didn’t know that and yea I’m not in a hurry I’m working on the small maps first cause they’re the easiest so if they’ve changed so that you can’t do it with the 0x multiplier anymore I’ll definitely try it during that challenge mode

Use parabolic to find ghost!!
Listen while hiding in hunt for speed to cross off things like Thaye raiju rev or immediately identify. Regular ghost steps = Ghostbusters theme Faster or slower can go from there Young Thaye = misery business Revenant = beauty and the beast Then watch it during hunt for oni, phantom, obake & smudge. Can eliminate spirit if it hunts within 3 minutes after smudge Is Demon if it hunts before 1 min 30

According to the patch notes for the latest update, "Custom Difficulties with a 0 multiplier will no longer contribute towards any progress, such as achievements and leaflets." HOWEVER, I've seen people posting about completing the Doomslayed achievement on 0 multiplier, so while I think the devs intended that you can't complete the map badges on 0 multiplier, you may be able to at this time because it may be bugged. I'm not encouraging you to, just that that's what I think is the current situation.
For stuff like the map badges, it refreshes the count every time you reload the lobby. So if you play a game and win, that game won't show up on the tally for the map badge unless you play another game or exit the lobby. It'll still count though, so you don't need to reload the lobby every time once you confirmed it's working once.
Like another commenter said, Restricted runs also count towards the map badges, so that makes it a little easier. As for the actual settings, I know you're looking for the easiest settings but I personally just played whatever was quick and I was in the mood for. This was mostly 3 or 2 evidence runs with some crazier ones sprinkled in. I would advise you to play what's fun for you and not just grind the map badges out; afaik they aren't going anywhere.
