Lethal Company is a horror game that challenges players to survive and escape from a hostile moon infested with deadly creatures. The game is developed by Zeekerss, a solo developer who has been updating the game regularly since its early access release in 2018.
The latest update, version 45, was released on December 9, 2023, and brought several new features, improvements, and fixes to the game.
Lethal Company Update 45 Patch Notes
New Monsters: Baboon Hawks and Gloom Spawns
One of the main additions in the update 45 patch notes is the introduction of two new monsters: Baboon Hawks and Gloom Spawns. These monsters are more dangerous and unpredictable than the previous ones and require different strategies to deal with.
- Baboon Hawks: These are flying creatures that resemble giant bats with baboon-like faces. They can swoop down and attack players from the air, or perch on high places and spit acid at them. They are fast and agile and can dodge bullets and melee attacks. They can also grab players and carry them away, or drop them from great heights. To fight them, players need to use weapons with good accuracy and range, such as the sniper rifle or the crossbow. They also need to be aware of their surroundings and avoid open areas where they can be easily spotted and attacked.
- Gloom Spawns: These are parasitic creatures that infect and mutate other monsters, making them stronger and more aggressive. They can also infect players, causing them to lose health and stamina over time, and eventually turn into monsters themselves. They can be identified by their glowing red eyes and veins, and their distorted appearance. To fight them, players need to use weapons that can deal fire damage, such as the flamethrower or the Molotov cocktail. They also need to avoid getting too close to them, as they can bite and scratch them, or explode and release spores that can infect them.
New Items: Inverse Teleporter and Radar Booster
Another major addition in the update 45 patch notes is the addition of two new items: the Inverse Teleporter and the Radar Booster. These items can help players explore the moon and find useful resources and secrets.
- Inverse Teleporter: This is a device that can teleport players to a random location on the moon. It can be used to escape from dangerous situations, or to discover new areas and secrets. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as consuming a lot of energy, having a cooldown time, and being unpredictable. Players may end up in a worse situation than before, or in a place they have already visited. To use it, players need to equip it and press the use button. They can also cancel the teleportation by pressing the use button again before the countdown ends.
- Radar Booster: This is a device that can enhance the radar screen on the player’s wrist. It can reveal more information and details about the moon, such as the locations of monsters, items, shrines, and other points of interest. It can also show the direction and distance of the nearest exit point, which can help players find their way out. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as consuming a lot of energy, having a limited range, and being noisy. Players may attract more attention from monsters, or miss some hidden secrets. To use it, players need to equip it and press the use button. They can also toggle it on and off by pressing the use button again.
New Mode: Superstar Showdown
A new mode that is added in the update 45 patch notes is the Superstar Showdown mode. This is a competitive mode that pits players against each other in a battle royale style. The mode can be played solo or in teams and supports up to 16 players. The mode has the following features and rules:
- The mode takes place on a smaller and more compact map, with a shrinking safe zone that forces players to move and fight.
- The mode has a random and dynamic loot system, with different weapons, items, and perks that can be found and used.
- The mode has a ranking and scoring system, with different rewards and penalties for kills, deaths, and placements.
- The mode has a spectator and replay system, with different camera angles and options that can be used to watch and analyze the matches.
The Superstar Showdown mode can be accessed from the main menu, and can be customized with different settings and options, such as the map, the team size, the time limit, and the difficulty.
