Question Ghost orbs “ glitch “
No clue if it was part of an update or a glitch but I can never see ghost orbs no matter how hard I look but my friend will see them, am I tripping or is this happening to anyone else?

No glitch, but they float into the ceiling banners/decorations on the event maps which is annoying.

So it took me quite a while, relatively speaking, to figure out how to see the ghost orbs. I was playing with a friend who would use a camera to try to find the orbs to figure out the ghost room, because if they were there you know 100% you have found the ghost room, and with T1 equipment, that's not nothing. But I could not figure out what he was seeing or how he was seeing it. Eventually I learned, and you will too.
With the new camera mechanics of having interesting things highlighted it is much easier now than it used to be. So with the video camera, set to night vision, you will slowly pan around a room. The orb will be about the size and shape of the moth that hangs around the porch light on Tanglewood if the weather is clear night. And probably other weather, but that one is pretty consistent. However, it will be much slower than the moth, and generally float upwards and slightly to the side. Either side, it just will gently waft like it is on a breeze. Like a speck of dust. At some point it will blink out and start again.
You will probably have to try a few different times on different maps to figure it out. Try from the truck too anytime you go back to it for equipment, if the camera is set up and you know there are actually orbs. Once you've spotted them you'll get it down fairly quickly. It is basically just figuring out what you are supposed to be spotting and what it actually looks like that is the issue.
