About Lethal Company
Lethal Company puts you in the role of a contracted worker tasked with gathering scrap from abandoned industrial moons. You must meet profit quotas while navigating dangerous environments, using tools from the Company store and coordinating with crewmates. Progress is driven by earning cash, which can fund travel to riskier moons or cosmetic upgrades for your ship. The game blends outdoor exploration with underground scavenging, emphasizing teamwork and careful timing, especially as night falls.
Both single‑player and online co‑op modes are supported, allowing you to guide teammates from the ship or explore together. Features such as custom volume controls, stereo sound, partial controller support, and family sharing enhance accessibility across Windows platforms.
01 / THE GUIDE
Scrap Collection
Your primary objective is to collect scrap from derelict moons to satisfy the Company’s profit quota. The moons feature steel and concrete interiors that you can rummage through for valuable items. Successful collection directly translates into cash, which is the core currency for further progression.
The game encourages efficient gathering; you must balance risk and reward when deciding whether to travel to moons with higher potential payouts. Higher‑risk moons often contain more valuable scrap but also present greater dangers.
- Prioritize high‑value scrap in safer zones before venturing deeper.
- Use the cash earned to unlock moons with better rewards early on.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crew Coordination
Players can guide crewmates from the ship using the radar to highlight traps and the ship’s terminal to open locked doors remotely. Alternatively, the whole team can enter the moon together, sharing information in real time.
Effective communication is crucial, especially at night when dangers increase. Coordinating movements ensures that all valuables are retrieved and that no teammate is left behind.
- Assign one player to monitor the radar for traps.
- Keep a walkie‑talkie handy for quick updates.

Tools and Equipment
The Company store offers a variety of tools such as lights, shovels, walkie talkies, stun grenades, and boomboxes. These items assist in navigation, combat, and morale during scavenging missions.
Cosmetic upgrades for your ship, like fancy suits and decorations, can be purchased with earned cash, allowing personalization without affecting core gameplay.
- Equip lights before entering dark sections.
- Carry a stun grenade for unexpected hostile encounters.

Night Dangers
Nighttime intensifies threats, making it harder to locate safe paths and increasing the likelihood of hostile encounters. The game advises gathering all valuables before darkness fully sets in.
Staying together and maintaining communication during night phases reduces the risk of losing crew members or valuable scrap.
- Plan to finish collection before nightfall.
- Use the ship’s terminal to secure exits early.
