Whether they’re playing solo or with a crew, players can install these mods to significantly enhance their overall gaming experience. Keep reading to find out the best mods for Lethal Company.

There are mods to add some quality of life improvements, such as better stamina, there are others that add a more humorous tone. With so many mods to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right ones for the players game, but this article has been updated to showcase more of Lethal Company best mods.

17 Boombox Controller

Upload and Play Music

Players who think Lethal Company is too devoid of any background music can take matters into their own hands with the Boombox Controller mod. This mod allows players to purchase the boombox via the in-game store and player their own tracks through it.

Although the controls for it can be a little tough to learn, once players know how to do it they can jam with their friends whenever and wherever. But, players should exercise caution, as it can create loud amounts of sound that could attract the attention of monsters.

16 YippeeMod

Changes An Enemies Sound EffectLethal Company Hoarder Bug

The Hoarder Bug is one of the most famous creatures in Lethal Company, a bug that scampers around the map occasionally dropping treasure, and is harmless for the most part. For those that find the bug somewhat off-putting due to its insectoid appearance, or just want something funny that can break the tensions of an excursion, the YippeeMod is perfect.

This simple mod merely changes the in-game sound effects of the Hoarder into a high-pitched voice yelling Yippee! Watching the bug skitter unpredictably across the map is both comedic and rather adorable, making the bug more endearing to players. But they should remain careful getting too close, as the mod does nothing to make it any less dangerous. ​​​​

15 Mask Enemy Overhaul

Makes the Masked Enemies Harder to Detect

Lethal Comopant Removed Mask Mas Enemy Overhaul Mod

The mask is an item players might find on planets they will travel to later in their run, as they require quite a healthy amount of money to unlock. While players can sell it like all other loot, it also has another use, as players can actually don the mask, though if they leave it on long enough, it will possess them, and they will hunt down their friends without mercy.

Normally its easy to tell if another player is possessed thanks to rhe visible mask on the face, but this mod removes that visual cue. Now they will appear like the player, maskless and wearing their suit--even if it's one added by mods. Now, players will have a harder time telling who is an impostor, and sneaky players can even prank their friends by refusing to talk and approaching them slowly.

14 More Emotes

Adds Several More Humorous Emotes to the Game

The base game of Lethal Company comes with only two emotes, one is a silly little dance that has gained online infamy, and the other is a point players can use to humours effects or to quietly point out danger in situations where silence is needed.

13 Pinger

Ping Dangers or Points of Interest

Lethal Company: Ghost Girl

This mod brings a unique pinging mechanic to enhance the Lethal Company gaming experience, and it is a great quality of life change. Once installed, Pinger allows players to strategically communicate the location of enemies without the need for voice chat.

Players can simply press the Q key on their keyboard to use the ‘ping’ command to quickly alert their team about any incoming danger, or any other points of interest such as treasure, valves, or locked doors.

12 Better Stamina

Run for Longer

Running is an important part of the game. Running to the structure to get started loot-hunting as early as possible, running away from the dangerous monsters that inhabit them, and running back to the ship before it leaves at midnight, with or without its crew.

Players know that the stamina meter leaves a lot to be desired, but thankfully the Better Stamina mod is here to save the day. Players can now run for longer, and the meter also regenerated quicker than before.

11 Brutal Company

Increase the Difficulty of the Game

Lethal Company: Bracken

If players think Lethal Company isn’t hard, they can amp up the difficulty levels by installing this hardcore mod. Brutal Company makes the base game even more challenging than it already is by adding random moon events and new mechanics. Players can install this mod for a more intense gaming experience featuring new enemies such as the Lasso Man.

But, this mod is not for the faint of heart, and players better be prepared for the challenge of their life as they struggle to survive this new brutal difficulty mode.

10 Item Quick Switch

Easily Allows Players to Cycle Through Their Inventory

This quality of life mod makes gameplay much easier, especially if players need to quickly cycle through to a weapon to fend off an enemy, or to switch out to their flashlight when entering dark areas. Though simple, it makes a very useful change that makes gameplay seamless.

9 Always Hear Active Walkies

Now All Players Can Hear Sounds Through the Walkier-Talkie

ReservedWalkieSlot mod for communication

All players know how stressful it can be to communicate with a crew member who’s somewhere far away in the facility. Walkie-talkies are an essential tool for relaying relevant information to crewmates, but they only let players hear one end of the call.

The Always Hear Active Walkies mod adds a layer of realism to the game by allowing everyone close by to hear what’s being said on an active Walkie-talkie. This ensures that all teammates have been alerted to important information while navigating through the dangerous moons.

8 NeedyCats

Players Can Find and Save Cats

Lethal Company is undoubtedly a horrifying game, as players will have to brave seemingly abandoned planets that are home to dangerous and terrifying monsters. What better to ease players nerve than with a cute little kitty they can find, rescue, and even pet.

Though the cat will make meows that can attract enemies, players can press a button to pet the cat, which will successfully quiet the cat while also soothing the players nerves. For all cat lovers, this mod is a must-have.

7 Flashlight Toggle

Players Don't Need to Change Items to Use the Flashlight

Pro-flashlight in Lethal Company

Players who find it frustrating to drop all the items they’ve collected each time they need to use a flashlight will love this mod. The Flashlight Toggle mod lets players switch on their flashlight anytime – even if they’re holding onto something else. Players simply need to press the F key to toggle the flashlight on or off whenever they want.

The flashlight is probably the most essential tool in crewmates arsenal, and this mod only makes it even more useful, as now they can click it on or off even while holding another item. This is a mechanic that most agree should have been in the base game, but until if and when it is added, this mod is a must for Lethal Company fans.

6 HD Lethal Company

Overhaul the Graphic Fidelity to See in Greater Detail

HDLethalCompany for better graphics

Graphics make all the difference to the gameplay, and the HD Lethal Company mod adds antialiasing, enhances the resolution, and eliminates most of the pixelated, jagged edges in the base game. This mod is perfect for players who want to experience the horrors of Lethal Company in a more HD version.

As the graphics are somewhat lacking thanks to its status as an indie title whose emphasis does not lay in looks, this mod adds great improvement, allowing players to see more minute details.

5 Ship Loot

Allows Players to See the Total Amount of Loot

Lethal Company All Scrap List and Value (Sell Prices)

Players who love to hoard scrap and can’t be bothered to count each piece individually can install this cool mod. Ship Loot reliably displays the total scrap value on the player’s ship. Whenever players scan scrap on their ship in the base game, they need to position themselves properly and display all their loot on the screen at once.

However, the scanner can only pick up 16 items at a time, which makes it hard to tell whether players have actually met the company’s quota or not. With this mod installed, players can easily learn how much scrap they currently own.

4 Late Company

Players Can Now Join Mid-Run

The Late Company mod allows players to join an expedition anytime. This is perfect for those crewmates who always join late and have to keep waiting for their crew to wrap up their mission. With this mod installed, players can jump into a multiplayer lobby even after the game has already begun, and join their crew mid-match.

3 More Suits

Crewmates Can Deck Themselves Out in Unique Suits

How to Get All Suits in Lethal Company

Even though the company’s store allows players to buy a couple of extra suits, the colors are limited to only orange, yellow, and green. The More Suits mod is perfect for players who want to customize their hazmat suits according to their preferences.

This also makes it easier to tell crewmates apart, as they can all choose to deck themselves out in a different colored suit, and the larger number of them makes it less likely players will argue over a particular color.

2 Bigger Lobby

Create Larger Crews

How to Play Lethal Company with More than 4 People

For players who want to play with a much bigger crew, the Bigger Lobby mod increases the max player capacity from the default four to forty. Even though it looks hilarious to see a ton of people in hazmat suits crammed into a small metal space box, this mod allows players to enjoy their expeditions with as many teammates as they want.

This chaotic mod is an absolute must for players that believe there is safety in numbers, and also increases the odds they will successfully meet their quotas, as there are more sets of hands to gather loot.

1 Minimap

Makes Navigating Easier and Safer

The map aboard the ship is a very useful tool for players, as if one stays behind, they can communicate to their teammates to guide them towards treasure and away from enemies, as both are shown with unique markers on the map.

The Minimap mod takes the map, shrinks it down and places it in the top-right of the players screen, so now all can see approaching treasure and dangers, and renders it unnecessary to have one player remain behind. This makes excursions out on planets that much easier, as they will be able to see which ways to go and any threats that may be near by. By far, this is high among the best mods for Lethal Company.

All the mods listed above are based on the Thunderstore framework, and have certain prerequisites. Players must make sure they download all necessary tools, such as BepInExPack and LC API, before installing any mods for Lethal Company .
