a colossal patch that changes absolutely everything! 2024

Lethal Company’s long-awaited patch 50 is finally available, and promises tons of crazy new games and new scares. A first for the game…

Lethal Company is one of the most talked-about cooperative games of recent months, thanks in no small part to streamers. The principle is simple: as a team, you have to collect as many items as possible in an area infested by monsters. You’ll then need to earn as much money as possible to continue your increasingly difficult missions, and potentially face down these creatures. In addition to its perfect multiplayer gameplay, Lethal Company’s zany sense of humor has been a big hit with gamers.

With a record of more than 240,000 simultaneous players on Steam, games were played at breakneck speed. Game developer Zeekerss quickly rolled out dozens of updates. Now it’s time for the fiftieth, and with such a symbolic number, it’s time to mark the occasion with a never-before-seen update.

Lethal Company celebrates its 50th patch

Zeekerss has been teasing this famous 50th update for several months now, promising new skins and maps. The patch arrived a few days ago, and the creator didn’t lie: it’s unprecedented, and changes everything with so many new features… Among the most important new features are :

• – spiky traps to be avoided, such as turrets
• – Old Birds” robots, which can quickly become dangerous
• – Tulip snakes, which attack in groups by flying around you.
• – The Butler: a harmless creature, except when you’re alone with it.
• – Some new moons, such as Artifice and Embryon, which are fraught with danger.

The promised new appearances are also here, as well as a knife that you can use to defend yourself. As for accessories, you may be lucky enough to come across a disco ball to set the mood, or an Easter egg for a nice surprise, or not. Full details are available on the game’s Steam page.

An update against speedrunners?

In addition to the new features, patch 50 improves or corrects many things. The shovel, for example, is heavier, and Bunker spiders are more numerous and faster. On the other hand, elements such as the crouching sprint, which allowed you to run without making a sound, have been corrected, posing a problem for some speedrunners. “I know this kind of change may seem hostile to speedrunners, but they bypass the design and mechanics of Lethal Company, without requiring any skill or strategy,” Zeekerss reacted. On the other hand, he was happy to leave the jet pack, voted the “wackiest” gadget of the moment by players, unchanged.
