Update 45 forLethal Companyintroduced a bunch of new content to the viral indie horror game, and that includes the Signal Translator, an electronic device meant to keep the crew in touch with whoever’s manning the ship.
The Signal Translator is handy in a pinch, but as with much ofLethal Company’smechanics, players are left to figure outhow this gadget works by themselves. To save you time and trouble, here’s a quick guide on how to send messages with the Signal Translator.
How to Use the Signal Translator in Lethal Company
First, players are going to have to purchase the Signal Translatorfrom the Company storefor about 250 Credits. Once it arrives, place it inside the ship and head to the terminal. With the Signal Translator aboard, players will then be able to use thetransmitcommand on the terminal to send short messages to the entire crew. The syntax for the Signal Translator’s command is as follows:
Enter this on the terminal and hit the Enter key. Shortly after, the message will pop up on every player’s screen regardless of where they are on the map. Keep in mind that the Signal Translator only transmits up to ninecharactersat a time, so it’ll only be useful for sending one word or one phrase at a time.
Since the Signal Translator only costs around 250 Credits, all crews will be able to afford one after meeting their first quota. It’s a good investment for players who keep losing their walkie-talkies mid-expedition or those who don’t want to bother with battery management. It also opens up a safer means of communication for the dedicated ship operator as the Signal Translator won’t force them to speak, keeping them out of anyBlind Dog’s hearing range.
Despite how quiet the Signal Translator is, players are still advisedto purchase a hornfor their ship. On the off chance that a Blind Dog gets a little too close to the ship’s entrance, sound the horn to draw them all away. This will also let other crew members safely enter the ship without the risk of getting eaten alive.
Organized crews can come up with their Signal Translator codes so they can communicate better with the device’s nine-character limit. Proper use of the Signal Translator is often more cost-efficient than buying multiple walkie-talkies,but the entire crewneeds to have a code system to actually understand what the operator wants to say.
