Lethal Company Terminal Commands List and Effects

Terminal command discipline turns chaotic runs into repeatable quota clears. Start with these five high-impact commands and use them in a consistent loop.

Top Commands You Should Always Know

These commands cover scouting, routing, purchasing, and team safety visibility.

  • SCAN: check scrap value distribution.
  • MOONS: route the ship to available moons.
  • STORE: buy essential gear and utilities.
  • BESTIARY: review enemy knowledge entries.

Command Rhythm for Stable Runs

Use commands in a predictable order: scan value, decide moon route, control purchases, then monitor execution.

The best teams reduce improvisation by assigning one captain to terminal timing and callouts.
