It’s been a while since the last Lethal Company update, but Version 50 has arrived with various new additions and gameplay changes.
The next time you clock in, you can expect to see new entities and a fresh forest moon. A range of adjustments have been deployed to mechanics and the spawn rate of Baboon Hawks. The developer has also explained the reasons for the changes made.
Lethal Company Version 50 patch notes
Here are the full details of the update for you to read at your own pace.
New features
- A new forest moon, Adamance
- Reworked Dine’s exterior
- Two new entities outdoors, one new entity indoors
- Added Easter eggs which can be thrown.
- Two new suits in the rotating shop and a disco ball
- You can now run down slopes faster
- A new hazard/trap indoors
Changes
- The bell now makes chimes when dropped (which will alert enemies within a large radius.)
- Baboon hawks now spawn in groups of two, have 4 HP instead of 6, and do less damage when stabbing the player.
- Various small changes to the scrap output and spawn rates in moons, with the goal of making more moons rewarding to go to.
- It’s possible to bounce off walls when hitting them at a steep angle.
- Slightly increased the weight of the shovel, to make each player less of a self-sufficient killing machine.
- Fixed crouch-sprinting; previously, pressing the crouch button while sprinting would cause you to crouch and then uncrouch at the same time; when spamming the key, this made it possible to sprint without making noise.
- Falling out of bounds no longer teleports you to the main entrance of the facility
* I know this kind of change might seem antagonistic to speed-runners, etc. But these made it possible to bypass Lethal Company’s design and mechanics without requiring any more skill or strategy; I guess it would also make speed runs of Lethal Company less accessible to people who don’t want to (or can’t) spam a button very fast on the regular.
* As a side side note, I had targeted the jetpack’s crazy efficiency for this same reason (safely bypassing part of the game), but I’ve realized it has an irreplaceable purpose as the most wacky gimmick item, so I will respect that.
- Since the manor layouts are generally more spread out than the facility layouts, manors will now always generate smaller when loaded. This was mostly an issue on Titan, which had a significant chance to generate absurdly large manors.
* To compensate, the size multiplier of indoor levels in Rend and Dine have been increased, which should result in them feeling the same as before. Dine now has the same size as Rend.
For the next update, players can expect extra creatures to roll out, as well as a little interior design for more variety.
