A Complete Guide On The Extension Ladder In Lethal Company

Here is a complete guide on the Extension Ladder in Lethal Company, a type of equipment that can be bought from the Terminal

Lethal Company is a new trending survival co-op horror game developed by Zeekeerss that came out in October 2023 and is currently in early access. In the game, you are hired by a corporate organization named the “Company” to explore different abandoned and industrialized moons to collect scraps for sale. To aid these exploration journeys, players have access to many specialized items for defense, health and scrap collection that are available in the store. 

One such item is the Extension Ladder which can be bought through the store from the Terminal. It is one of the most valuable items in the game because of how multifunctional it is. Hence, here is a complete guide on the Extension Ladder in Lethal Company. 

Extension Ladder in Lethal Company 

The Extension Ladder is an invaluable item that allows players to reach places that they typically cannot reach. This item is a fully extendable ladder that comes compacted in a small box. The ladder can extend up to 9 full meters which can let you scale a lot of distance quite easily. When the box is deployed, the ladder will start extending vertically and then fall forward until it lands on a surface or object to support itself. It has an auto-collapsing feature after 18 seconds of being used to conserve battery life. When the 18 seconds are up, the ladder will give an audio cue as an alert and retract back into the box. 

You can also use the Extension Ladder to go through gaps that normally cannot be crossed like a ravine. It can also be used to easily cross the catwalk jump in the game. When you’re in immediate danger and need to escape quickly, you can also extend the ladder and get to high ground quite quickly. 

Another thing to note about this ladder is that if it falls down and a player is underneath it, they will be killed. When the ladder hits a horizontal state, i.e. falls on the ground, it will not fall any further. However, if the ladder is stuck to the roof of the ship you’re on, it will not fall down by itself. The ladder also attracts lightning so be cautious not to get struck to your death instantly while climbing the ladder in rainy weather.
