While Lethal Company doesn’t offer a ton of lore, an ending, or credits for its community to indulge in, there is still a ton of replayability that keeps the game on top of the current indie horror wave.

Lore will likely be added in future updates with easter eggs like the submarine getting answers. But for now, those who want some kind of ending or purpose for reaching those high quotas can install the Lategame Upgrades mod from Thunderstore. There are many great mods to choose from for Lethal Company and thankfully most can run with one another.

You’ll need the necessary BepInEx pack that is needed for all Lethal Company mods, alongside the APIs to get this mod. You need to install Evaisa-HookGenPatcher and Evaisa-LethalLib specifically for this mod to work.

Tip:

Item costs and how they work can be altered via the mod’s config: “com.malco.lethalcompany.moreshipupgrades.config.”
