Navigating the hazards of Lethal Company requires efficient management of scavenged scrap, equipment, and ship furniture. Learning how to properly move items around your vessel and transport scrap safely back to base ensures your team meets quotas consistently. Understanding key bindings and inventory mechanics will make your expeditions significantly smoother.
How to Rearrange Ship Furniture
To move furniture or decorative items inside your ship, approach the object and press the B key to enter edit mode. While in edit mode, you can reposition the item using your movement keys and press R to rotate it to your desired angle. Pressing B again confirms the new placement, allowing you to customize your ship interior layout effectively.
If you prefer to clear up space on your vessel, pressing X while in edit mode sends the selected object directly into ship storage. Stored items are easily retrieved anytime by accessing the terminal and typing the storage command. This keeps your main walking paths clear when hauling high volumes of scrap.
Carrying and Transporting Scrap
Scrap items found inside moons can be picked up using the interact key and added to your active inventory slots. You can carry up to four small items at a time or transport a single two-handed heavy item that restricts your speed. Managing item weight is critical, as heavier loads drain your stamina much faster and slow down your escape.
When transferring loot from dangerous areas back to the ship, prioritize smaller, high-value scrap first. Staging items near facility exits allows team members to shuttle loot safely across open terrain. If you encounter difficult terrain or obstacles, tools like ladders can help bridge gaps and speed up transportation.
Managing Inventory and Equipment Slots
Tools purchased through the terminal, such as flashlights or walkie-talkies, occupy valuable inventory slots that could otherwise hold scrap. Dropping equipment when entering dense looting areas gives you more capacity to haul valuable scrap. Dropping items is done by selecting the slot and pressing the drop key before picking up heavy loot.
Maintaining a dedicated designated area on your ship floor keeps scrap organized and prevents clutter from blocking doorways. Keeping two-handed scrap separated from smaller items allows players to quickly grab maximum value during fast extractions. Good organization ensures your crew can quickly react during emergency lift-offs without losing track of your earnings.
