Lethal Company pits you and a small crew against some of the most dangerous and terrifying creatures in the galaxy to make a quick buck for your Company. The Coil Head is one of the more elusive creatures that could be hunting you.
Some of the monsters you encounter in Lethal Company can be defeated or outsmarted, but the Coil Head requires a specific approach to take down. A few strategies are involved, and knowing this monster’s weakness is a huge factor. Although you might be able to outsmart it, can you kill a Coil Head in Lethal Company?
How to beat or kill a Coil Head in Lethal Company
We can confirm that you cannot defeat or kill a Coil Head in Lethal Company. You can use a Stun Grenade against them, but this only prevents them from moving for a short time. Alternatively, the Radar Booster stuns the Coil Head for longer, giving you an exit strategy. These options are best for solo players, as simply working as a team to watch the Coil Head can stop it in its tracks, acting as a permanent stunning measure.
Multiple Coil Heads can appear at once, and with no real method to kill it, you need to keep your eyes peeled for any opening doors and listen for its horrifying spring sound. Its spring noise indicates that the Coil Head is moving. The Coil Head cannot move if a player has eyes on it.
While a single player can keep their eyes on it and continue navigating the Facility, doing this easily ruins their profit as the rest of their run is spent babysitting the Coil Head. Therefore, it is best to face the Coil Head with at least two players. This strategy places a watcher on the Coil Head while the other player leads the team to safety. The task should be to return to the nearest entrance (Fire Exit or Main Entrance) and leave before the Coil Head catches you. You need to quickly get as far away from the Coil Head to gain crucial moments to loot up before it finds you again.
If you are trapped at the Main Entrance with a Coil Head in front of you, simply back away toward the door until you cannot move anymore. Slowly turn your point of view, keeping the Coil Head within your sight. Angle your body so you can always see the Coil Head and rotate your vision until you see the door prompt to leave the Facility.
As long as at least one person in your Lethal Company group gets to the ship and exits the game, everything on the ship should return to the company building, ensuring everyone hits the profit quota.
