Summary
Lethal Companyis a single-player and co-op adventure-horror game that sees players sent out to distant planets to scavenge scrap while evading an array of mysterious and supernatural predators. Players will need to collect scrap items in order to sell them to the company, which will set increasingly higher quotas to be met. While exploring different abandoned facilities, the main goal will be to salvage as much scrap as possible while also surviving hostile enemies and environments.
ThroughoutLethal Company, players will need togenerate moneyin order to purchase equipment and tools for use during missions. These can range from simple items such as walkie-talkies and flashlights to jetpacks and teleporters. Players can also use money in the game to customize and upgrade their ship, which is all done via the on-ship terminal. Scrap itemscan be sold via the Company headquarters, where a shop counter is located.
5Scan Constantly
Identify Enemies And Valuable Items, As Well As Potential Escape Routes
The scanner is one of the most essential tools at aLethal Companyplayer’s disposal, as it will enable them to identify the whereabouts of enemies and scrap items. The scanner can also be helpful in the event of getting lost, as it will display the locations ofthe player’s shipand the main entrance to any facility the player is inside. Since the scanner is built into the worker’s suits, it does not need to be charged or used sparingly in the same way as flashlights and walkie-talkies.
Since player’s inventories are so limited, it is important to seek out the most valuable scrap items possible. Sometimes smaller items can be worth a lot depending on what they are, which makes it doubly important to scan facilities thoroughly in order to ensure maximum profits can be extracted from each run. This can even mean scanning over previously covered areas just to double-check for smaller items.
4Drop Loot Outside Facility Entrances
Reduce Carry Weight By Storing Items In Convenient Locations
Given that increased carry weight will slow players down and make them more vulnerable to enemies, it is important to remain mobile and not become bogged down by hoarding too many items. One way around this is to designate certain drop-off points where items can be left, enabling players to return to scavenging the facility rather thanhaving to slowly trundle aroundwith large items in hand.
One of the best places in any facility to drop off large hauls of scrap ready for transport is just outside the main entrance to any facility. Given that all players will need to head this way to return to the ship, it makes for a convenient and accessible location, which should also be relatively safe - most of the time.
3Prioritize Valuable Scrap
Make Use Of Inventory Space Without Being Slowed By Unnecessary Items
There are two main types of scrap players will be searching for while playingLethal Company, categorized by one-handed items and two-handed items. The smaller items can be stored in the player’s inventory without issue, enabling them to use other tools while they are being carried. Two-handed items are generally much more valuable but come with a more significant movement penalty in addition to occupying both of the player’s hands.
These two-handed items are best stored at facility entrances and collected at the end of a mission, but all items must be brought back to the ship in order for them to be counted as sellable. Given that playersonly have four inventory slots, some of which are likely to be occupied by tools, it is important when scavenging smaller items to prioritize those with high value, rather than trying to collect everything in sight.
2Wait For Values To Rise
Turn Over Scrap At The Very End Of A Run To Ensure The Company Pays Full Price
The best way to maximize the profits of each run is to wait until there are zero days remaining for the quota to be filled. This will ensure that all items have reached their maximum value just before being sold. While there is a risk in this, since visiting multiple moons without selling itemsincreases the chances of deathand, therefore, the loss of all profits, generally, if runs are coordinated with this strategy in mind, it is possible to make considerably more money.
Items brought to the company prior to zero days will only be purchased for a percentage of their maximum value, and while this can occasionally help in the short term, it is not as efficient as waiting until the final day.
1Try To Keep Everyone Alive
Survival Is Paramount To Maximizing Profits And Securing As Much Scrap As Possible
If any player dies in the group, their items will become forfeit on that particular run unless they have already been stored on the ship. Therefore, it is important to try to keep each member of the group alive for the duration of a run, and this can be done in a number of ways. Having clear communication is a good start, and so is assigning roles to each member of the team. It can also help to have one player based on the ship, who can help guide teammates and interact with certain facility obstaclesvia the ship’s terminal.
Enemy creatures will appear more frequently in darker settings, so it isadvisable for beginnersto avoid any planets in a state of “eclipse,” since this means that the overall threat level will be significantly increased.
