There are several roles that players have to fulfill when they play Lethal Company, and each role has a group of tools that may be used. They are getting a clear understanding of which player does what will significantly help you maximize the loot during every run.
In that regard, the following guide lists down what should be the most optimal role for every kind of player and what type of equipment to use in different situations.
Lethal Company: What Are The Different Roles In Teams
Mission Control
The player who remains on the ship will have to use the walkie-talkie, which is vital when communicating details like directions, the presence of monsters, loot, and more. Another helpful thing is they can check the time by heading out, too.
Walkie-Talkie: Essential for communications
Radar-Booster: It can be turned on and kept anywhere on the map. It appears like a player on the radar screen, and keying in ping [Booster name] will make a sound. It can be kept on the small hill towards the left of the ship to distract dogs.
Loud Horn: Players can hear all across the map, and it is best used when you have already given it a message beforehand. That way, you will know what the horn signal means when it is sounded.
Teleporter: Players can teleport their team members if they are killed or in danger. However, you will lose all the loot the said players have gathered, so you should always check before making an emergency rescue.
Those who act as the Mission Control can help their players by giving correct information regarding the movement of monsters in Lethal Company. You have the walkie-talkie, so your communications must be absolutely clear, so your help will be key.
Since you have the most chance of being alive till the end, if stuff goes haywire, you can escape with the loot already present on the ship.
Players with longer names can choose to use an abbreviation, and you can even collect the stuff left at the ship’s door, but be careful as your team may need help.
Communications Officer
This responsibility is heavily connected to Mission Control since you have to give detailed instructions to the players on the adventure.
Zap-Gun: You can stun monsters for 30-60 seconds, and you can do it by scanning for the monster. Just make sure you have a solid hand at the target.
Walkie-talkie, Flashlight (normal or pro), and Radar-Booster are the other items you will need.
It is recommended that the communications officer not always talk on the walkie-talkie but only relay information received from Mission Control.
That will ensure the channels remain clear, and you can do your work. Your most vital task is to ensure that you keep the communications crisp and accurate between Mission Control and the players on the mission.
Make sure you are keeping the radar booster at a viable location so you are not lost and can then be pinged. You can also help the Weapons Expert by zapping enemies as he hits with the shovel, while Forest Giants fear the Zap Gun.
Weapons Expert
They have the equipment that is used to attack monsters and defend players. The tools include Shovel, Stop-Sign, Yield-Sign, and Flashlight. The main goal is to strike the monsters enough times to knock them out.
Players can get on railings to avoid or hit some monsters better. Coordinate with the communications chief to take down bigger enemies through the Zap-Gun first and then your weapons.
Your initial mindset should also be to avoid facing off against enemies all the time, as it may lead to your downfall sometimes.
For snare fleas, you can strike them off another player’s face. It is best to keep brave-hearted players in this role since they are usually not afraid.
Mule
The player with the most space and only a Flashlight to carry. They should tag along with players with pro flashlights so their empty inventory can be used significantly.
For later gathering, you should keep two-handed items at the main entry point or the fire exit. You will have to be the fastest member of the group and can take on the small items, too.
There’s some additional information players can use when it comes to hives. One player has to serve as the bait, and everyone should store their items.
Stay near the bees because if you go too far off, the bees head for the person holding the hive, which can cause a dangerous situation. So, it is best to ensure everyone is on the same page when taking hives.
When you collect dead bodies, the tax is removed. You should also buy extra suits to ensure which player is whom and the loud horn for Forest Giants.
You can spot facilities quickly when you head outside the cabin during landing. Try scanning enemies as much as possible to help the host. You can get extra loot via the Scanner in dark rooms or places that have shelves.
Thus, that is all the information players will need regarding the different roles in Lethal Company. Every one of them plays a crucial role in helping to salvage as much loot as possible for the company. It is best to clarify things beforehand to avoid any confusion later on.
