Where to Buy the Stun Grenade in Lethal Company

You can buy stun grenades for 40 scrap by typing store into your ship’s terminal, entering stun, and typing confirm. The stun grenade will appear alongside any other items you purchase on the next moon you visit.

The safest location to do this is on your company’s moon, as no monsters will spawn and interrupt you.

After you buy the stun grenade, a ship will appear playing ice cream truck-like music, notifying you of its arrival. Interact with it to drop every item it’s holding, including your newly purchased stun grenade. Pick it up from the floor to add it to your inventory, allowing you to use it or store it in your ship for later use.

How to Use the Stun Grenade in Lethal Company

To activate the stun grenade, click your left mouse button once to remove its pin, followed by another click to throw it. You have a few seconds after removing the pin to throw it before it detonates; if it’s in your hands, it will explode anyway, severely injuring your character.

The grenade also casts a bright light on detonation, making it difficult to see what’s happening if you don’t immediately look away.

While some enemies like the Hydrogere slime, circuit bees, and ghost girl are immune to the stun, most monsters are vulnerable to it, making it an effective one-time-use weapon. However, since you can only use it once, you’ll want to keep an eye on how many you buy, as its price adds up over time.
