so let's say it's christmas morning, you wake up and you find that you've just received "lethal company" on steam from a friend or sibling of yours and you don't know how to play. if that's the case, then this is the guide for you. you'll learn all the tiPs and tricks you need to survive, how to deal with monsters, and be a good employee, all for the sake of the company. the company is good. the company is pure.

You're probably wondering right now "how do i be a good employee and contribute to the goals of the company?" your job is to go to various moons along with your crew of up to three others, explore inside the buildings on each moon, and collect scrap that can then be sold at the end of a three day cycle. in each of these cycles you have a quota to meet, and if you don't meet Quota, then you will be deemed below standard and be subjected to the disciplinary process. But worst of all, the company will be extremely disappointed in you, and that's no good.

in order to avoid this tragic fate, there are Four tips i recommend to all new employees before their first day on the job.

1. split up: in order to maximize the scrap you Get, it's best to travel on your own in order to cover more area and find more items to sell

2. spend all of your money: whenever someone dies and their body isn't collected, you lose a percentage of the money you have. unless you have a teleporter to collect the bodies and minimize the amount lost, if you spend all of your money before anyone dies, then there's no money to lose

3. the company is more important than you: a good employee is always willing to lay down their life for the sake of the company. if you know that you're about to die and you have valuable scrap on you, make sure to die in a spot where your fellow workers can go collect it. you're basically bequeathing it onto them, and as long as one you makes it out alive, it's all good.

4. be acQuanted with your fellow employees: teamwork is a vital skill to learn if you want to meet quota, so make sure you're working with people who enjoy being around.

as you explore the moons and facilities, you will find many creatures that may appear scary at first, but can be dealt with Quite easily as long as you know how they behave. here's a list of all the monsters and how to handle them.

snare flea (stupid bug) - usually found on ceilings, they will drop onto your head and try to suck you to death. if you get ensnared by one of these guys, one of your employees can hit it with a shovel or other blunt object to get it off of you. otherwise you're kinda just dead (womp womp)

bunker spider (stupid bug two) - these guys usually appear exclusively in the confusing maZe section of the facility and will mark its territory with webs that slow you down. however, it is legally blind, so sneaking around these guys is usually the best option. just make sure not to get caught in one of its webs or it'll know exactly where you are.

hoarding bug (bug mafia) - these guys are pretty chill. just don't touch their stuff and don't stay close to them or they will mess you up. sometimes you'll have to bargain with them for safe passage through a door, so just drop them your cheapest piece of scrap and they'll leave you alone (usually).

bracken (goku) - bro just wants a hug, but he's a little shy, so you gotta make the first move. when you see one, look em in the eye and approach. works every time.

thumper (shark boy) - ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run

hygrodere (slime boy) - if you die to this guy you are actually stupid

ghost girl (schizophrenia) - this monster isn't real

spore lizard (gassy fella) - this monster isn't real, but for different reasons

nutcracker (gone sexual) - this guy is cracked at fortnite, hence the name. they will snipe your ass with their shotguns if you don't get behind cover. it is possible to kill them and grab their shotgun, as long as it doesn't kick you in the balls and send you flying, hence the name.

coil-head (s.c.peanut) - this guy wants all the attention, and if you don't do that, it gets really upset and replaces your head with a spring for some reason (he's weirD like that). as long as you look at it, it won't move. really easy to deal with on its own, but as soon as more monsters show up, then it becomes a recipe for disaster.

jester (funny guy) - when he starts cranking that soulja, everyone needs to get the ♥♥♥♥ out of the building, or he will just kill everyone. kind of a pain in the ass to deal with.

masked (other funny guy) - this isn't even a monster this is just a piece of scrap. there's nothing harmful about it. i mean you can put it on, and that's pretty cool i guess.

so I've already achieved the purpose of this guide, and I feel like going to sleep, so I'm gonna not continue with this. goodnight folks, and merry christmas.
