How to Not Get Killed By Lightning Storm in Lethal Company While Carrying Items

The best practice to avoid getting killed by a lightning storm is to not carry items that conduct electricity, but sometimes, you just need to have a shovel or a flashlight, and you still need to carry stuff back to the ship. Unfortunately, you’ll likely have to drop some stuff from your inventory and run for your life as soon as you hear a sparkling sound.

Here is the list of all items that do and do not conduct electricity in Lethal Company.

Titan Trick for Stormy Weather

There are spots on Titan that you can use to avoid getting struck by lightning.

One of them is right outside the main entrance, in the corner that I will point out in the screenshot below. If you drop your conductive items there, chances are pretty low that the lightning strike will hit them, because the lightning will strike at the ceiling above in almost all cases.
