Throughout your time in Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake, you can collect Prayer Beads and spend them on unlocking upgrades for your Camera Obscura. Unlocking new features can make combat a lot easier and less clunky as you tackle tougher spirits.
But which upgrades should you unlock first? There are a lot of options, and even ones specific to your filters. To make it easier for you, here are the best camera upgrades you can pick in Fatal Frame 2 Remake.
Best Camera Obscura upgrades to unlock in Fatal Frame 2 Remake
Focal Points
The more Focal Points you have lit up on a ghost, the more damage you’ll do to their health. But it’s hard to aim your initial five Focal Points, so unlocking additional Focal Points will make combat smoother.
Although it costs three Prayer Beads for each additional Focal Point, it’s worth unlocking. You’ll have a higher chance of dealing more damage to the spirit with more Focal Points.
Zoom
The Zoom upgrade is something you should unlock sooner rather than later. It only costs one Prayer Bead at first, and it will increase your zoom’s magnification.
Without this unlocked, you will not be able to zoom in on spirits in the distance. Once you learn how to take Stealth Shots, you will want to be able to zoom in on faraway spirits and take them out from a distance.
Film Capacity
You only start with a small amount of capacity for all your films, especially the better ones. We recommend upgrading the Film Capacity upgrade sooner rather than later, so you can hold more.
You will come across a ton of film throughout the environments, and often you will run out of space, unable to store more valuable film. Upgrading this will allow you to save up more of your best film.
Reload Speed
One of the more annoying issues with the stronger film is how long it takes for it to reload. To mitigate this, upgrade Reload Speed, and it will help the reload times of all your film.
If you want to take advantage of that Fatal Frame moment during combat, you need fast-reloading film. This is a must-have upgrade during the early game so you’re not struggling later on.
Range
Similar to the Zoom upgrade, Range lets you take photos from farther away. Stealth Shots will become even more powerful with the Range upgrade unlocked.
Typically, you need to either zoom in or walk up super close to a spirit to take a proper photo. But with the Range upgrade, you will have an easier time taking photos of spirits from far away.
Max Attack
Finally, another great camera upgrade to unlock is Max Attack, which extends your maximum attack power. In general, this will boost the damage you can deal as a whole.
No matter which film you use, Max Attack will improve your overall max attack damage to spirits, making it a worthwhile upgrade to unlock.
