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.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Experimentation | Starting moon | Safe learning environment, basic scrap for early quota | Loot Goblin |
| 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 |

|---|---|
| Difficulty | Starting moon |
| Key Rewards | Safe learning environment, basic scrap for early quota |

| Key Equipment | Zap Gun |
What to Do Here

March — Late Game
The community consensus 'best' moon — high loot value with manageable danger. The facility is large with many rooms and good scrap distribution. Most experienced groups default to March for quota farming.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Mid-late game |
| Key Rewards | Best loot-to-danger ratio, large facility, consistent quota farming |

Titan — Endgame
The hardest moon with the most dangerous creatures and worst weather. Also has the most valuable scrap. Blizzard weather reduces visibility to near-zero. Only attempt with a full team of experienced players.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Endgame |
| Key Rewards | Highest value scrap, most dangerous challenges |

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.
