In Lethal Company, you can buy items in the store. Basically, they are various consumables that help in exploring the moons and finding scrap metal for 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 in 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, 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 item flies to the satellite even if you have not landed on it yet, but just hang in its orbit.
The “Ship Upgrades” category includes improvements for the ship. 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 spacesuit.
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 cooperate with friends to save maximum credits.

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.

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. |
Portable radio (Walkie-talkie) | 15 | Allows you to communicate with other players. Requires electricity to operate. An indispensable thing when playing in cooperative mode. |
Shovel (Shovel) | 30 | 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 | Additional camera , which can be placed in a complex, making it easier for the player in the ship to monitor his comrades. Its noise attracts local fauna. |
Lockpicker | 20 | Opens a locked door for 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. |
Stun gun (Zap gun) | 400 | Large and inconvenient tool , which 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 improvements
Loud horn (Load horn) – after installing it and pressing it, a loud sound will be heard in the bow of the starship. It can be used to warn the crew about the need to return to the ship. May attract blind dogs. Costs 150 credits.
Teleporter – after installing it, a special button appears on the ship panel, when pressed, the selected player is instantly transported to the transporter. This way you can save him from danger. However, he loses all the things he had in his hands. You can also teleport his dead body to reduce the penalty. Costs 375 credits.
Inverse Teleporter – after installing it, a special button appears on the ship panel, when pressed, the character in the teleportation chamber moves to a random location inside the complex. This way you can quickly get inside the building. But he teleports without items in his inventory. Costs 425 credits.
The most useful of these upgrades can be called teleport, as it allows you to save crew members from monsters at the cost of the resources they have collected. Take other upgrades as you wish.
