Lethal Company: Driving in Maps for Beginners

You new Company Cruiser is equipped with verity of new features for your use. The Key to using this thing effectively is mastery and understanding its quirks effectively.

Lets start with the controls most should be used to them by now but here’s a basic diagram for your viewing pleasure.

remember to floor it when in Park to get some extra horse power out of the car! The most useful one of these is the escape button but we will go over it later for now, lets go over some hidden controls.

Jumping (pressing space) while in the cruiser allows you to hop just a bit in order to get out of situations where the cruiser would happen to get stuck, its best to use it while flooring the gas and preparing to stomp on the breaks once free allowing the tires to get some traction to drag you the rest of the way, using Weed Killer allows you to get a boost which allows you to instantly get out of most situations but is highly risky so were not going to be going over how to effectively use it other than its ability to heal the cruiser.

Pushing (Pressing E on the Frame of the Cruiser) is highly effective when you are stuck and have friends to guide the truck through places when things go wrong. Luckily for us most of the use cases of the truck with proper driving this shouldn’t come up but just in case you get adventurous with your driving knowing how to properly push the Cruiser is effective.

Alright quick overview is done lets get into how to actually drive on these moons!

These moons you should not use the Cruiser on as they are ill effective on them to downright not helpful. They CAN be useful in one way and that is by getting your baring with how the Cruiser works, otherwise I wouldn’t risk losing the Cruiser by attempting to use it.

Experimentation: Drive-able but useless. due to the entrance being on a hill you can’t really use the car. the most you can do is park it at the bottom and have team members put loot down to you and load the car up and go. you could escape button up to save a ladder climb in exchange for health but its not worth it. You Could also attempt to boost up with the weed killer but you’ll prob end up just crashing the truck.

Gordion/Company: Drive-able. Its the company pretty much i would only use this place to get the Cruiser in the first place since it is nice and flat and you can drive it to the ship and hook it on fast You can also use it as a means to get used to the Cruiser in the first place since their isn’t any danger to doing so. Otherwise not really effective.

Titan: Drive-able but Useless: no way to get it to any entrance and with how high both of them are theirs nothing you can do with the car. even escape button launching doesn’t help here don’t bother.

OK onto the actual Moons you can best use the Cruiser on the list is in no order just a simple guide and route to take with the Cruiser. Escape Button Jumping is an advance technique where you park the car at a position (Marked with a X on the maps provided) to get to places where you normally can’t get to. Hazards are marked with a Purple X that indicates problem areas you should avoid with the Cruiser as they will likely lead to it becoming stuck or worse. Red Lines are known good routes that you can take to and back reliably without risk of exploding or getting stuck IF your good at driving the Cruiser. Last Tip treat the Cruiser like your playing Spin-tires or some other realistic trucking game, this will allow you to best succeed with using it effectively. alright starting off out list is:

Assurance: Drive-able. you can drive to the fire escape and escape button launch up to it really easily. going to main is out of the question as it has a ton of hills in the way and theirs really no easy route to get to it. best going to fire escape.

Vow: Drive-able. This map looks tricky but Theirs actually a path behind from drop that you can take to Fire Escape and drive it back with no problems almost the best map bit tricky but once you get it down its super easy.

Offence: Drive-able. Their is some RNG with this level, sometimes you will be completely fine to drive to main other times you will be blocked. You can also escape button jump up to the pipes at the beginning of the map to get to fire escape but risky and takes some time to get used to. due to the RNG this map has its honestly one of the worst to take the truck to, use at your own risk.

March: Drive-able. you can get it to two fire escapes really easily and to main theirs some that are harder than others and are shown by the color of their route on the map below. pretty much chose where you think the truck is going to be the best used and drive there.

Adamance: Drive-able but challenging: Taking it to the ravine to the right of Fire escape from driving down the right side of the ship to it you can escape launch up to it OR jump up from the right at max stamina. Theirs no real good route to main on this map. driving back is the problem because of the bridge, got to be really careful or down into the gulch you go, without the bridge its much easier, but RNG can block your patch back to the ship. its good but make sure paths are good before driving. Colored X’s are problem spots with this map.

Rend: Drive-able. you can get to main pretty easily with some trial an error, going right from main you can prob get to fire escape, but falling into the ravine means the car is gone. Honestly i would not go to fire escape but you can attempt it if your feeling risky, snow blindness is hell though so be careful.

Dine: Drive-able. Second best level to drive IMO, quick an easy path to fire escape and back no problems whatsoever. you can prob get to main but with how the map is laid out i wouldn’t advise trying just stick to getting to fire escape.

Artifice: Drive-able. Best map to drive on only due to loot. its really tied with Dine but since Art has so much loot it beats it out. its just a straight line nothing more nothing less what’s not to love. their is one problem spot with this map and that is getting back up to the ship once your done loading up, the hill is steep so your going to have to gun it up it and have the magnet on before attempting or else its going in the ditch to the right of the ship and your not getting it out of there.

Embrion: Drive-able. Very nice flat land to drive on and due to the loot changes a pretty good map to go to now. I’m not sure about driving up to fire escape, something is telling me you might be able to get to it with the Cruiser but im not 100%, the big problem here is once again main is on a ridge so your going to be dropping loot to it and loading it up later, the only reason this map isn’t in worthless is because its a pretty far drive to main from here.

The Company Cruiser is one of the best things for your ship that comes with one steep learning curve to boot. mastering it is key for effective fun and efficiency. To end off allow me to give some secret tips with the Cruiser that will help with your Quotas!

you can leave all loot in the Cruiser and it will stay once you go into orbit, no need to unload as long as your confident in your ability to get the Cruiser back to the ship everyday.

TURN OFF YOUR HEADLIGHTS!!! They blind you most of the time i find and having them off allows you to more accurately judge turns and distance when with them on it blinds you.

Like never floor it, NEVER, take your time and as long as you get to the facility by 10AM that is a win in my book. if you need to floor it get ready to break as soon as your out of a sticky situation.

Effective team management by having a spotter is excellent use of the Cruiser early on.

Always have a spare driver that can be effectively trusted to drive the Cruiser in the event that the main driver is dead. go from skill level down from there.

Make sure the Cruiser is back at roughly 4PM to ensure its safe in case of death. The Person driving can then change jobs to Ship Maid or risk it for some more loot. hopefully the majority of the loot in the Facility was already loaded onto the Cruiser meaning normal grunt work is needed to insure the most money is gotten.

Weed Killer Boost is great for when your about to lose your driving line to make sure the Cruiser isn’t lost in a unrecoverable area. otherwise its best used in pure emergency’s only

And thats that hopefully my time behind the wheel is effective in allowing you to grow with your own driving skills Good luck and have fun!
