Are you trying to find a way to disable Turrets in Lethal Company? Here’s how they work and how to deal with them.
Overall, the best way to disable turrets is by spotting them via the terminal and then typing their letter and number on in. This will disable them for five seconds, which is enough time to quickly pass by them.
This is a process that requires at least two people, so let’s explain each player’s role in further detail.
How Turrets Work in Lethal Company
Turrets can be found anywhere inside the building in Lethal Company and are usually in corners. After you enter their line of sight, they will lock on to you and after about three seconds start firing. If you get caught in their fire for more than a second, you’ll die.
Thus, turrets are extremely dangerous. Make sure to check every corner before entering a room and don’t run through the hallways since they can be positioned pretty much anywhere.
Also, you can pinpoint their location by their distinctive mechanical sound or have a player stay on the ship and use the console to spot them. From the Terminal, you can see all turret locations. The cone in front of them refers to their line of sight.
But what happens if you want to pass by a turret? Thankfully, there is a way to temporarily disable them.
How to Disable Turrets in Lethal Company
You can disable turrets in Lethal Company by inserting their letter and number (as seen on the ship’s map) into the Terminal, which will disable them for five seconds.
You only need to write their letter and number, and no extra commands are needed. Just keep in mind that this lasts only for five seconds and you need to have a player staying on the ship to do it.
This is similar to how you unlock doors and the same process can be used to disable landmines (although you can almost always simply navigate around them).
Additionally, you can avoid turrets by running around them. They have a small line of sight and they keep moving around at a 180° angle, so you can pass by if you’re fast enough.
