How to Buy Items at Lethal Company: Best Tools

Contents

In Lethal Company You can buy items in the store. Basically, they are various consumables that help in the exploration of moons and the search for scrap metal for it further sale. However, the game does not give any hints on how to acquire these items, and which of them can bring the greatest benefit to the ship's crew. In this guide we will try to answer these questions.

How to buy items from Lethal Company

At the very beginning of the game, you will receive 60 units of local currency, which you need to spend on purchasing useful tools that can significantly simplify finding scrap, and some things, for example, flashlights, are completely impossible to do without. So after landing, immediately interact with the terminal on your ship.

Next in the command menu write store (store), after which you will see a list of items that can be purchased and their cost. The first half of the list includes various consumables that are needed to explore new locations. When you order them, they do not automatically appear in your inventory, but are dropped on the moon you are currently on within an hour in a special capsule.

Note: The object flies to the satellite even if you have not landed on it yet, but are only hanging in its orbit.

In category "Ship Upgrades" Ship upgrades included. These devices appear and are located on your transport ship, meaning you don’t have to go anywhere to get them. Their usefulness is situational. Even lower are decorative items (the assortment is updated once a week) that do not provide any benefit to players at all, but only decorate the interior of a starship or a character’s space suit.

To purchase the item you like, you need to enter its name in English, and then indicate the desired quantity. The screenshot below shows an example of purchasing one flashlight: flashlight 1. Then be sure to write confirm to confirm the order.

We would like to add that the store often runs promotions that allow you to purchase some items at a discount. If you are lucky, this may happen at the very start of the game. We would like to add that each crew member has their own separate offers in the store. So you can team up with friends to save as many credits as possible.

Best Items and Upgrades in Lethal Company

Next, we will look at all the items separately and talk about their level of usefulness for players. This will help you prepare more effectively for your next mission to an abandoned satellite.

Consumables

Name	Price	Utility
Flashlight	15	An extremely useful item that allows you to navigate in dark rooms. It discharges very quickly (in about 2.5 minutes), so it constantly requires recharging.
Professional flashlight (Pro-Flashlight)	25	It weighs more than a regular one, but it shines brighter and holds a charge longer (almost 5 minutes). So we advise you to quickly replace your standard flashlight with it.
Walkie-talkie	15	Allows you to communicate with other players. Requires electricity to operate. An indispensable thing when playing in co-op mode.
Shovel	thirty	Effective when fighting small monsters or killing parasites that have settled on the heads of your comrades. It can accumulate electricity and turn off all electronics if you bring such a “battery” onto a ship.
Stun grenade	40	Able to briefly stun enemies that cannot be killed with a shovel. Can be used to quickly escape from monsters.
Boombox	60	It entertains players with music, but also has practical applications. For example, it can be placed near the entrance to a dungeon to make it easier to find a way out of the dungeon later, or to distract monsters from you. Requires electricity to operate.
Inhaler (TZP-Inhalant)	120	Increases the character's stamina and speed, making it easier to escape from monsters or speed up the collection of resources.
Jetpack	700	Difficult to master, but allows you to overcome obstacles faster. It is very useful when one player remains in the transport ship while the rest explore the complex - it will be possible to quickly transfer things to the building and deliver scrap to the ship.
Radar booster	50	An additional camera that can be placed in the complex, making it easier for the player in the ship to observe his comrades. Its noise attracts local fauna.
Lockpicker	20	Opens a locked door in 30-60 seconds. However, it weighs a lot and is completely inferior to keys, which instantly open doors and are quite easily located in the complex. Plus, keys can be saved on a transport vehicle.
Zap gun	400	A large and inconvenient tool that does not kill enemies, but only stuns them for a while. You can accidentally miss and hit your ally. If you are playing in a team, you can give one of the players to stun the monster while the others finish it off with shovels.
Extension ladder	60	With its help you can build bridges between pits and abysses. However, it weighs a lot and is also quite short, so you are unlikely to be able to find a use for it at the level. But if you push it on an ally, then with a 20% chance he will receive a clown horn.

Ship upgrades
