In Lethal Company, landmines are especially annoying because they’re not the easiest to spot. Here’s how to disable landmines and turrets in Lethal Company.
How to Disable Landmines and Turrets in Lethal Company
By Properly Disabling Them
To disable landmines and turrets, you have to enter their code in the ship’s terminal, which will disable them temporarily. To successfully carry out this mission, we highly recommend playing with at least one other person, as you will need one player on the control terminal and another where the turret or landmine is.
The first thing you have to do is to spot the landmines and turrets before “accidentally” finding them. Not seeing them on time is bad news. One way to do this is to scout the area, by using your scanner (Right Click). Using your scanner highlights objects in your immediate area, giving you an idea of what’s there. After scanning landmines and turrets, you are given a two-digit code, which you can then have someone else type into the terminal to disable them.
Another way to spot landmines and turrets is by using a radar on the terminal. You can navigate to the radar on the terminal by typing “view monitor,” which will toggle the radar cam on. On the radar, turrets appear as red icons with an oscillating triangle. Once you’ve spotted the landmines or turrets, you have to look for their code, which will be one letter followed by one number. The code is unique for each element, so you will have to look into all of them.
Inputting a Turret or Landmine Code in Lethal Company
The player at the terminal will input the code of the turret or landmine and it will be deactivated for five seconds. You’ve only got this time window to run in front of the turret or step over the landmine, so make it count!
“Disable” Landmines by Making Them Explode
There are a couple of ways to do this, and they’re certainly quicker, but more dangerous than the traditional method. The first way to achieve this trick is by having a player step on the landmine and then, immediately after, teleport them back to the ship. Since the landmine doesn’t go off until someone steps out of it, the trick is that it will explode, but no one will be there to suffer. This disables it for the rest of the gameplay.
The second way is to throw a shovel at them. This requires great timing, so if you’re a bit shaky, you better stick to the safer methods. For this technique, you need to be running sideways and, when the distance is right, drop your shovel while still moving. The shovel should make the landmine go off and you should be far enough to not get killed. Very tricky, but it gets the job done.
Disable Turrets by Cutting Off Facility Power
Do this only if turrets represent a huge problem for you, as it has the big consequence of making you explore around in the dark. The good thing is that cutting the power of a facility will disable all turrets in there at the same time. To do this, you can either find the breaker box in the building (they look just like the ones in real life), or you could also take the Apparatus out of its dock.
Having an explosion interrupt your exploring or cause you to lose what you’ve collected so far is super annoying, so hopefully now you know how to disable landmines and turrets, you’ll be the greatest scrap collector out there.
Will Turrets and Landmines Kill You?
Yes, turrets and landmines will kill you in Lethal Company. This is why finding and disabling them is so important, as they’ll end your career in the company faster than you can say “oops.” Unfortunately, for those looking to take advantage of the spoils of war, you aren’t able to sell disabled turrets or landmines. So make sure to dispatch of them as quickly as possible.
