Lethal Company: How To Get And Use The Boombox

Lethal Company has various useful tools and gadgets, but an unexpected champion comes in the form of a vintage boombox. Why is this particular item so effective, and how can you utilize it to its full potential?

How Do I Get The Boombox In Lethal Company?

To get the Boombox, you’ll need to access the Terminal. Once you have followed the opening prompts to sign in, use the STORE prompt to access the Company Store. You’ll use the spare Scraps you earned during your travels to purchase unique items, such as the Walkie-Talkie or the Flashlight, but this time around, we’ll want to type out Boombox and press Enter. After this, you’ll be asked to either CONFIRM or DENY that you wanted to purchase this particular item. Type out CONFIRM and press Enter on your keyboard once again.

Now, if you’ve already landed on a planet, you’ll need to leave the comfort of your ship to find the item drop-off point. The easiest way to spot it is by using your ears and following the sound of the classic Ice Cream Truck Song until you arrive at the small drop pod. Press the key shown on the screen to access your new item, and pick up the Boombox.

What Should I Use The Boombox For In Lethal Company?

The Boombox is loud and obnoxious and is the perfect distraction for enemies drawn to loud noises. If we check the Lethal Company Bestiary, we’ll see that a few enemies in particular are drawn to loud noises:

• Eyeless Dogs
• Hydrogres

If you use the Boombox near these particular enemies, you may be able to slip away unscathed. Eyeless Dogs, in particular, are drawn to the sound of your voice. Yes, the enemies in this game can also hear you screaming in terror, so use the Boombox to your advantage and crouch-walk away from them.

It’s also just a fun way to keep the other employees feeling comfortable at all times. Drop one down on the ship’s floor and dance the night away after a successful scavenging mission. The Moons of Lethal Company are your oyster, so you may as well have fun with it before being brutally maimed and ripped apart by the variety of creatures waiting for you.

Is The Boombox Worth It In Lethal Company?

Coming in at a whopping 60 Scrap, you could do much worse than the Boombox. If you find that you’re a player who is constantly getting ripped apart by the Eyeless Dogs that roam the plains at night, this would be the perfect item for you to purchase before you make your way into the next facility. Otherwise, if you can keep yourself from screaming at the sight of these creatures, the Boombox may not be the best item for you. It all depends on your playstyle, so determine what items you’ll be bringing with you wisely.
