Surviving in Lethal Company’s space expedition requires players to be well-prepared with battery-powered gear. Once these gadgets run out of juice, players risk being stranded in darkness with dangerous monsters lurking around. Here’s how to manage your battery levels and recharge your equipment when needed.
Summary
Checking Battery Levels
Keep an eye on your gear’s battery levels as you scavenge for scrap on the moons. Items like flashlights, walkie-talkies, and laser pointers all rely on battery power. You can check the battery level by looking at the curved yellow bar in the top-left corner of the screen when the item is equipped. The more you use your gadgets, the faster the battery drains. Once the bar is empty, the item becomes useless until recharged. Items that need charging include:
- Flashlight
- Pro-flashlight
- Walkie-talkie
- Laser Pointer
- Hair Dryer
Recharging Battery Items
To recharge your battery-powered items, follow these steps:
- Return to your main ship.
- Equip the item you need to recharge.
- Approach the wireless battery charger on the wall near the terminal.
- Hold the item close to the charger and press the “E” key on your keyboard.
It only takes a few seconds to fully recharge the item, indicated by the yellow bar being full. Make sure to recharge all low battery items to avoid inconvenience during your expeditions.
Tips for Saving Battery
When exploring away from your ship, conserve battery power by quickly scanning dark areas with your flashlight to check for hidden monsters. Consider using the pro-flashlight version for better energy conservation. In groups, take turns using the flashlight to distribute power consumption evenly. Once back on the ship, recharge your flashlight and walkie-talkie to be ready for the next adventure.
