Lethal Company is Zeekerss' cooperative horror game where employees of 'The Company' land on abandoned moons to collect scrap and meet profit quotas. Or face termination. The game's tension comes from balancing greed (collecting more valuable scrap) against survival (increasingly dangerous creatures and environments). With procedurally generated interiors, 15+ unique monster types with distinct AI behaviors, and a darkly humorous corporate dystopia setting, Lethal Company became a massive streaming sensation.
Lethal Company features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

| 2 | Assurance | Early game | Moderate scrap value, manageable creature encounters | Loot Goblin |
| 3 | Vow | Mid-game | Higher value scrap, diverse creature encounters | Scout |
| 4 | March | Mid-late game | Best loot-to-danger ratio, large facility, consistent quota farming | Scout |
| 5 | Titan | Endgame | Highest value scrap, most dangerous challenges | Scout |

Exploration Tips

- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your equipment: Some areas favor different equipment types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
