How to deal with the Hoarding/Loot Bug in Lethal Company

First of all, the Loot Bug is a practically harmless creature under normal circumstances as it will not attack you on sight, except if you attempt to steal its loot.

In case you want to steal from it (and you probably do), we highly recommend you attack while it’s still ignoring you so that you can get the upper hand. You can kill a Loot Bug with three or four Shovel or Stop-Sign hits.

In case you come across a group of Loot Bugs, it’s best not to upset them. It’s difficult to escape from a group of Loot Bugs because they move faster than you, and you could risk losing your life. If you get overwhelmed by a group of Hoarding Bugs, drop some items from your inventory, as this will make them give up the chase and just run away with the loot.
