Lethal Company Hero Mode Challenge (v73)
An overhaul of the vanilla game loop designed for players that want a fair challenge while also not deviating from the core identity of Lethal Company. This pack is designed for groups of 4-6 players, but no more than 8.
The completion goal of this modpack is to clear Quota 15.
Are you up for the challenge?
Can you go further?
Before diving in...
-
It is HIGHLY recommended that you ignore any individual mod updates within this pack as it may cause things to break. Please wait until the modpack itself gets updated, and only update the
LC_Hero_Modemod itself. -
When updating the pack, always check the CHANGELOG tab to see if any mods were removed. If so, these mods and their respective config files must be manually deleted as updates do not remove them automatically. A list of related
.cfgfiles will be provided in the CHANGELOG under the respective update version to assist with manual cleanup. (Deleting and reinstalling a fresh copy of the pack circumvents having to do this). -
Know that every mod in this pack has been carefully configured to preserve game balance. Mods such as reserved slots are included, but they have been given an in-game cost via terminal purchase. Other mods like Better Stamina are also here, but qualify as a "Difficulty Modifier." Anything in the Difficulty Modifier category may be freely toggled off if you would like to further increase the challenge. (See Difficulty Modifier section)
-
Please be sure to read the Known Issues section at the bottom as it provides workarounds for each of the known issues.
The Key Changes/Features
What you need to know.
- New moons & interiors to explore.
- All moons have been reduced to 0 credits.
- All runs begin on Experimentation which is visually hidden in the terminal, but always be available and routable.
- Upon clearing the first quota, three random moons will unlock and appear in the terminal. These moons will be shuffled/randomized at the start of each day.
- The deadline now scales with the quota. You will begin with 1-day deadlines. The deadline will rise to 2-days when your quota reaches the mid 800's, and 3-days when it approaches 2,200.
- Visiting moons with weather conditions will cause more scrap to spawn at higher values. Harsher weather conditions yield greater bonuses. You may view the weather bonus values on the ship's main monitor when orbiting the desired moon.
Difficulty Modifiers
These may be toggled on/off at your discretion to make your run more, or less challenging.
Better Stamina (Enabled by Default)
- Gives the players roughly 30% more stamina, increases regeneration, and decreases slowdown & stamina consumption when encumbered.
Health Recharge Station (Enabled by Default)

- TO DISABLE: Go into
ShaosilGaming.GeneralImprovements.cfgand disable theAddHealthRechargeStationconfig under the mechanics category.
Buyable Shotguns and Shotgun Shells (Enabled by Default)
- Adds shotguns and shells to the store for purchase. These are meant to be late game unlocks & a compensation for the potential to never see Nutcrackers. Shotguns are priced at 3,000 credits and shells are 50 per.
Reserved Utility Slot (Enabled by Default)
- Adds a free dedicated slot for utility items similar to the vanilla feature added in v80+.
- The slot has been configured to allow most utility items as well as keys.
- Walkies in the utility slot will not respond to the hotkey shortcuts that are exclusive to the dedicated reserve slot; the item must be pulled out to be used.
- Flashlights in the utility slot will still respond to the hokey
Fto toggle them on/off.
Reserved Flashlight & Walkie Slots (Enabled by Default)
- Adds dedicated item slots for Flashlights and Walkies that can be purchased from the terminal.
- Buying a slot will give it to the entire group.
- Flashlight slot costs 700 credits, Walkie Slot costs 350 credits.
- The reserved walkie slot allows you to interact with the item without needing to pull them out.
- Press F to toggle the flashlights and X for walkies by default.
- Flashlights and Walkies will prioritize being placed in these slots if unlocked instead of the utility slot.
Remove Interior Fog (Enabled by Default)

Tips & Tricks
If you're struggling
Don't oversell too much.
- Since your early quotas are only 1-day deadlines, you will not be able to build up as much of a scrap stash as you normally would and it is highly recommended that you only sell to quota. Max selling on Quota 1 may be worth it due to the overtime bonus if you're aiming for an early item purchase, but don't oversell too much going forward. Save as much as you can on the ship in order to meet the higher quotas.
Combo the Belt Bag with the Jetpack.
- It sucks having to fly back to an entrance only to walk two-handed items back while also being weighed down by the jetpack. Bring the belt bag with you so that after you land, you can bag the jetpack and reduce your weight for the walk back.
Always get the Apparatus.
- With the Apparatus now being worth 350 or more, it’s a huge value item that can really make or break your runs. Make sure you don't pull it too early since it'll trigger a meltdown. Pulling the apparatus is best saved as the last thing you do before leaving a moon.
Don't sell the alternate scrap weapon if you don't have to.
- Items like the Fireaxe, Baseball Bat, Circular Saw, etc. can make very quick work of enemies and should be kept around to make difficult encounters easier. These items are rare which makes them something you don’t want to lose.
Aim for moons with weather conditions, especially in the late game.
- While weather can be a hindrance, the bonuses they give can make it more than worth your while, especially in the late game when you’re better equipped. A clear Experimentation spawning 10 pieces of loot worth 650 scrap becomes 12 items worth a total of 1,170 when eclipsed. Higher tiered moons become extraordinarily valuable under severe weather.
Have a Ship Person
- Not necessary at the start of the day unless the moon has harsh weather. If the weather is clear, it’s recommended that someone start transferring loot back to the ship around 12pm-1pm, and after the transferring is complete, that person should remain at the ship to ensure that no loot is lost should the rest of the crew die. Another crewmate should take over transferring once the ship person is done with the initial transfer.
Known Issues
General
- Issue: When the host closes the lobby, connected clients will not be properly disconnected. Instead of being returned to the title screen, the player will remain in the "active," session, but unable to interact with anything.
- Workaround: Disconnect manually by opening the menu and selelcting quit to return to the main menu.
Wesleys Weathers
- Issue: When leaving a moon that has Hurricanes or Forsaken weather, there is a chance that the weather sfx will persist while in orbit and into the next moon.
- Workaround: If this happpens, simply close and re-open the lobby. If playing online with a group, be sure to also consider the above issue by having connected clients manually disconnect.
Progressive Deadline
- Issue: If the group fails to meet quota and is ejected/fired, they are reloaded back on the ship to start a new run. If you continue playing after this "soft restart," the deadline will not be correct nor will the days progress properly resulting in a softlock.
- Workaround: Should you get fired and get a game over, close the lobby after it reloads and delete the save. Create a new save file for every new attempt. This will ensure that the deadline starts where it should and things will progress properly.
GeneralImprovements (Monitors)
- Issue: When resuming a save, the monitors that track the day count and current quota will reset back to 1; this is just a visual bug.
- Workaround: Simply complete your next day and the numbers will correctly update at the next auto-save.
Disclaimer
If you have any issues or suggestions to report, you can let me know via the Hero Mode Thread found within the modding discord. If you add extra mods to my pack, I will not be able to offer support until you remove them, and confirm the issue(s) still exist without your additions.
