Version 45

Version 45 Trailer

Version 45 of Lethal Company, also known as "The Frosty Update", was released on steam on 9 December 2023.

The update mainly added nutcrackers, masks and the masked entity along with some basic gameplay and QOL changes including the new arachnophobia mode.

Official Patch Notes

- Added chemistry flasks and dramatic Masks, nutcrackers with guns and spray paint cans for funs.

- Rail cheese has been nearly destroyed, but the forest giant is easier to avoid.

- Added to radar boosters the "flash" command, and the ship's new "signal translator" will be in great demand.

- Keybind settings are in, and I gave the item delivery ship a jolly spin.

- Gravity is more dangerous, but improved Mansion map generations will be good for us.

- Arachnophobia mode will ease your fear, and I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

• Fall damage has been changed and employees are now able to die from it (read more).
• The dropship melody has been changed to a jingle bells tune.
• Procedural dungeon generation of the mansion was adjusted, allowing more turrets to spawn.
• The radar-booster can now be used to flash entities by typing "flash XYZ" in the ship's terminal.
• Forest keepers were adjusted to be slightly less dangerous.
  • Employees now have a fear timer that increases with the giant looking at them. The game also plays a audible noise during that period.
  • The giants are now completely deaf and unable to detect employees based on noises.
  • The giant's movement speed now ramps from 5 to 7 when starting a chase instead of going to 8 immediately.
