All Items, Equipment, & Ship Upgrades in Lethal Company

There are around 18 items you can buy and use to survive and perform various actions in Lethal Company. Four of the 18 items you can buy are ship upgrades, which get added to the ship when purchased. Below is everything you need to know about all equipment items and ship upgrades in Lethal Company.

Shovel Guide - Lethal Company

The Shovel is a melee weapon tool you can use to kill some enemies in Lethal Company. Here's everything you need to know about it.

How to get the Shovel

To get the Shovel in Lethal Company, you must spend 30 credits via the Store menu page in the Terminal. Grabbing a single item, such as bottles, is enough to pay for the Shovel.

 How to use the Shovel

Hold the left mouse button and release it to attack small enemies such as Hoarding bugs using the Shovel. You can also use the Shovel to disrupt turrets.

Is the Shovel worth it?

The Shovel is a decent tool for basic defense against small monsters. On the other hand, don't expect to take out dangerous enemies such as the Girl in a Dress or Forest Keepers. 

Teleporter Guide - Lethal Company

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

The Teleporter is one of two ship upgrades featured in Lethal Company. Purchasing the Teleporter unlocks the ability to teleport players with some limitations. 

How to get the Teleporter

You can get the Teleporter by spending 400 credits via the Store page in the Terminal. We recommend farming with two or three players to earn enough to purchase the Teleporter.

How to use the Teleporter

You can use the Teleporter to teleport players out of the abandoned facility. However, players lose all of their items when in use. To use the Teleporter, press the button next to the Ship controls. 

Is the Teleporter worth it?

Overall, the Teleporter is worth having as a means to avoid dangerous monsters but is not helpful for anything else. In short, because you lose all items when teleported, it's not practical for fast travel. 

Loud Horn Guide - Lethal Company

The Loud Horn is the one ship upgrade you can buy to add to the ship. Using the horn creates a loud noise that draws creatures in.

How to get the Loud Horn

To get the Loud Horn, you must buy it from the Store menu inside the Terminal. The Ship horn costs 150 credits. 

How to use the Ship Horn

You can use the Loud Horn to lure creatures to the front of the ship. To use the Loud Horn, hold the Loud Horn rope inside the ship. Doing so starts the horn, and any creatures nearby will move to the front of the ship.  

Is the Loud Horn worth it?

The Loud Horn is a decent upgrade that makes getting back to the ship late at night and avoiding monsters easier. We recommend that players watching the Terminal use it when creatures such as Eyeless dogs or Forest keepers roam around the ship. 

Laser Pointer Guide - Lethal Company

The Laser Pointer is an equipment item you can find while searching for Scrap inside the Abandoned facility.

How to get the Laser Pointer

You can get the Laser Pointer randomly if one spawns inside the Abandoned facility. 

How to use the Laser Pointer

You can use the Laser Pointer to check for large drops. However, the Laser Pointer is unusable in foggy, steam, and blizzard conditions.

Is the Laser Pointer worth it?

The Laser Pointer is not that useful in Lethal Company as it is relatively easy to check for large drops if you have a flashlight. Because of this, we recommend simply the Laser Pointer should you find one in Lethal Company. 

Stop Sign Guide - Lethal Company

The Stop Sign is one of two melee weapons players can use in Lethal Company. 

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Stop Sign

You can get the Stop Sign by looting it when searching for Scrap. Unlike other weapons in the game, you can not purchase the Stop Sign.  

How to use the Stop Sign

You can use the Stop Sign to attack monsters such as Flower Men and Snare Fleas in the same way as the Shovel. Press the left mouse button to swing the Stop Sign at an enemy to do damage.

Stun Grenade Guide - Lethal Company

The stun grenade is a throwable weapon you can purchase from the Store menu inside the Terminal. Here's everything you need to know about the Stun Grenade. 

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

How to Get the Stun Grenade

You can buy the Stun Grenade from the Store menu inside the Terminal for 40 credits. Grabbing one item, like an engine or bottles, is enough to pay for a Stun Grenade. 

How to use the Stun Grenade

To use the Stun Grenade in Lethal Company, equip it and press the left mouse button to pull the pin on the Stun Grenade. Press the left mouse button again to throw it at an enemy. After throwing the Stun Grenade at an enemy, it takes around three seconds for the grenade to go off. The Stun Grenade will stun creatures for five seconds, allowing you enough time to escape. 

Is the Stun Grenade worth it?

The Stun Grenade is worth using as it can help escape dangerous monsters such as The Girl in a Dress, Forest Keepers, and Flower Men.

Key Guide - Lethal Company

How to get the Key

You can find the Key randomly when searching for scrap in Lethal Company. You can't purchase the Key from the Store menu, and you can only use the Key once. 

How to use the Key

To use the Key, equip it to your hotbar and left-click on a locked door. 

Is the Key worth it?

The Key is worth picking up in Lethal Company if you don't already have the Lock Picker. The Lock Picker is reusable and provides a permanent way of opening locked doors. However, we still recommend carrying at least one or two keys on the ship as a quick way to open Locked doors. 

Flashlight Guide - Lethal Company

The Flashlight is one of two options for light sources in Lethal Company.

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Flashlight

You can buy the Flashlight for 15 credits in the Store menu inside the Terminal. 

How to use the Flashlight

You can use the Flashlight by equipping it with your Hotbar and pressing the left mouse button to turn it on. The Flash Light provides up to 7m with a max range of 12m. However, the Flashlight gets blocked by visual obstructions such as Toxic fumes, blizzards, and steam. 

Is the Flash Light worth it?

The Flash Light is decent for a starting light source at a low cost. I still recommend grabbing the Pro version of the Flashlight for the increased range that can help you see better and farther. 

Pro Flashlight Guide - Lethal Company

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

The Pro Flashlight is a step up above the regular Flashlight but with a steep cost. 

How to get the Pro Flashlight

You can get the Pro Flashlight by spending 60 credits inside the Terminal Store menu. The Pro Flashlight provides an increased range of up to 12m with a max range of 20m

How to use the Pro Flashlight

You can use the Pro Flashlight by equipping it to your hot bar and pressing the left mouse button.

Is the Pro Flashlight worth it?

I recommend grabbing the Pro Flashlight over the normal because the range is too good to pass up. The range also helps a lot in checking for fall hazards or any hidden mines/turrets

Lock Picker Guide - Lethal Company

The Lock Picker is an automatic solution for opening locked doors in Lethal Company.

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

How to get the Lock Picker

You can get the Lock Picker tool by spending 20 credits in Lethal Company via the Store menu page inside the Terminal

How to use the Lock Picker

You can use the Lock Picker to open locked doors in Lethal Company. To use the Lock Picker, first equip it to your hotbar and left-click it to place it on a door. Once you place the Lock Picker, you must wait around 28 seconds for it to pick the lock on the door. After the Lock Picker finishes picking the lock, it will drop to the floor. Pick the Lock Picker back up to avoid losing it. 

Is the Lock Picker worth it?

The Lock Picker is worth picking up for the utility of opening locked doors at a low cost of 20 credits. However, you should keep a key or two, as 28 seconds can waste time in certain situations. 

Boombox Guide - Lethal Company

The Boombox is a small radio that plays music.

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Boombox

To get the Boombox in Lethal Company, you must spend 60 credits.

How to use the Boombox

You can use the Boombox to find exits by following the sound of the Boombox.

Is the Boombox worth it?

The Boombox is one of the best items to get in Lethal Company. I recommend placing one near the main and fire escape exits to find and transfer loot faster. 

Extension Ladder Guide - Lethal Company

The Extension Ladder is a portable tool that deploys a ladder bridge or ladder.

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Extension Ladder

You can get the Extension Ladder in Lethal Company by spending 60 credits at the Store menu. 

How to use the Extension Ladder

You can deploy the Extension Ladder using the left mouse button. When deployed, the Extension ladder takes 20 seconds and is used to climb up or access areas. 

Is the Extension Ladder worth it?

The Extension Ladder is a must-have for players who want to avoid jumping across Fall Hazards and extensive gaps. 

Zap Gun Guide - Lethal Company

The Zap gun is a weapon that players can buy to immobilize certain creatures. 

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

How to get the Zap Gun

You can get the Zap Gun from the Store for 400 credits. I recommend saving up and waiting for a sale when you can. 

How to use the Zap Gun

You can use the Zap Gun in Lethal Company to stun and temporarily keep enemies from moving. To use the Zap Gun, press and hold the left mouse button when near a creature. While holding the left mouse button, move the mouse left and right to control the Zap Gun's beam. The longer you manage to control the Zap Gun, the longer the creature remains stunned. Keep in mind dangerous creatures are more challenging to keep stunned. 

Is the Zap Gun worth it?

As of update v40, the Zap Gun is usable and should work as intended. Because of this, I recommend using the Zap Gun to keep fast monsters pinned down while other players escape with loot. 

Jetpack Guide - Lethal Company

The Jetpack is a tool players can use to fly over large distances.

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Jetpack

You can get the Jet Pack by spending 700 credits at the Store inside the Terminal.

How to use the Jetpack

You can use the Jetpack by equipping it and pressing the left mouse button. The Jetpack can take you vertically, and you can use the forward and backward keys to change your direction. However, you can not carry heavy objects while using a Jetpack. The Jetpack also has a chance of overheating.

Is the Jetpack worth it?

The Jetpack is a risky purchase because of the chance of overheating. If the Jetpack overheats, it will explode, making it a risky purchase for new players. I recommend only picking the Jetpack up if you have a lot of credits saved up.

TZP Inhalant Guide - Lethal Company

The TZP Inhalant is a consumable item you can use to gain a unique buff. 

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

How to get TZP Inhalant

You can get the TZP Inhalant by spending 120 credits on the Store menu page at the Terminal. 

How to use TZP Inhalant

You can use the TZP Inhalant by equipping it to your hotbar and holding the left mouse button. Holding the left mouse button uses the Inhalant, giving you the following buffs:

  • Decreased stamina drain.
  • Increased movement speed.

The buffs above come at the cost of impaired vision, which worsens with increased use of the TZP Inhalant. 

Is TZP Inhalant worth it?

The TZP Inhalant is worth getting to outrun fast monsters and escape to safety quickly. However, players should test and keep note of the impaired vision debuff and how long it lasts. 

Walkie-Talkie Guide - Lethal Company

The Walkie-Talkie is a usable item that allows players to communicate with each other. 

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get a Walkie-Talkie

You can get the Walkie-Talkie by spending 12 credits at the Store inside the Terminal. 

How to use a Walkie-Talkie

Equip the Walkie-Talkie inside your Hotbar and left-click to transmit audio to another player with a Walkie-Talkie. However, I recommend being careful when you speak to players, as transmitting audio will attract monsters. 

Is the Walkie-Talkie worth it?

The Walkie-Talkie is only good if you are playing with players who are not in a discord or Teamspeak with you. 

Inverse Teleporter Guide - Lethal Company

The Inverse Teleporter is a Ship Upgrade that serves a different purpose from the regular Teleporter upgrade. 

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get the Inverse Teleporter

You can get the Inverse Teleporter by spending 425 credits at the Store Menu. 

How to use the Inverse Teleporter

You can use the Inverse Teleporter by pressing the button next to the Ship Monitor to teleport a player out. Monitored players get teleported to a random location inside the abandoned facility. 

Is the Inverse Teleporter worth it?

The Inverse Teleporter is not worth getting as it can not serve as a way to fast travel into the facility. In short, if a player teleports, all of their items are dropped at the Teleporter. 

Radar Booster Guide - Lethal Company

The Radar Booster is a unique portable tool to help players navigate further inside Abandoned facilities. 

Screenshot By Pro Game Guides

How to get a Radar Booster

You can get a Radar Booster by spending 50 credits at the Terminal Store. 

How to use a Radar Booster

To use the Radar Booster, place it down by pressing the left mouse button. Once placed, the player using the Terminal can ping the Radar to help players find exits and navigate. 

Is Radar Booster worth it?

The Radar Booster is worth using to help loot scrap faster, and players navigate out and in facilities. I recommend placing one near the Main exit and doorways for the best results. 

Yield Sign Guide - Lethal Company

The Yield Sign is one of three melee weapons as of update v40 in Lethal Company.

How to get Yield Sign

The Yield Sign spawns similarly to the Stop Sign, randomly throughout the Abandon facilities on Moons. Because of this, if you want to get the Yield Sign, you must wait until you find one and save it inside the Ship.

How to use Yield Sign

You can similarly use the Yield Sign like the Shovel or Stop Sign—left-click to swing the Yield Sign at enemies. 

Is the Yield Sign worth it?

The Yield Sign is worth picking up as it reportedly does more damage than the Shovel in Lethal Company.  

How to farm money fast in Lethal Company

The best way to farm money fast in Lethal Company is to split and assign certain roles to all players. I recommend using the following tips to survive and loot scrap to make money fast in Lethal Company:

  • Use the Radar: One player must be on the Radar monitor, watching and guiding the other player looking for Scrap items to sell in Lethal Company.
  • Have a Loot Runner: One player needs to be a loot runner to quickly move Scrap back to the ship while the scavenging player returns with more Scrap. I recommend whoever is scavenging to leave loot for the Runner outside near the Main entrance/exit to the abandoned facility.
  • Use the Teleporter: the teleporter comes in handy and can teleport anyone out of danger if the Radar is viewing them. I recommend using the Teleporter only in emergencies, as you will lose all of your items if you are teleported.
  • Wait to the Last Day: Waiting to sell scrap is recommended as it will sell for the full amount of 100 percent, earning you more money if you were to sell early.

How to sell scrap in Lethal Company

You can sell your scrap by returning to the Company Building and placing items on the sell desk. After placing your items, ring the bell on the desk once to start the selling process. Do not press the bell more than once or spam it, or a monster will grab and kill you. Type Company Building or Com inside the Terminal to begin selling items in Lethal Company.

How to buy items in Lethal Company

You can buy items in Lethal Company by typing Store inside the Terminal. After typing Store inside the Terminal, type the item you want, followed by typing confirm to purchase it. For example, typing Shovel followed by Confirm will complete a purchase of one Shovel. If you want to buy another item, type it again and type confirm.
