What is the Loud Horn Actually Used For in Lethal Company?
If you are on the ship and your teammates are lost somewhere in the wild, you can use the Loud Horn to signal where you are and have them know where they should return. However, there are some additional benefits and potential drawbacks of using the Loud Horn in Lethal Company, depending on the situation (and depending on what monsters are around).
Some of the monsters are fond of hearing sounds made by players. For a few of them, hearing players’ sounds is the only way they can locate you, and, naturally, they’ll come dashing after you blare the Loud Horn.
Some other monsters, however, will be pretty scared. The moment they hear the Loud Horn’s noise, they will run away, allowing a safer passage for teammates.
Trolling Your Teammates With the Loud Horn
Engage in some good old-fashioned tomfoolery by using the Loud Horn to throw your teammates into the arms of peril. You can troll your teammates by blaring the Loud Horn while they’re trying to make it back to the ship. The horn will likely attract enemies, and if it does your teammates will be forced to fight to make it back on the ship or die trying. It’s not the nicest way to play, but we can’t deny being an annoying agent of chaos can provide a good chuckle.
Trolling your teammates with the Loud Horn is not the best way to play the game if you’re trying meet the credit quota. It could results in deaths, and teammate deaths will reduce your overall profit. If you’re hellbent on causing madness, you could at least reduce the death penalty by retrieving dead bodies.
Air Horn and Clown Horn in Lethal Company
Players can come across two other types of portable horns in Lethal Company: the Air Horn, and the Clown Horn. These horns are discovered randomly while exploring bunkers and cannot be purchased. Players must diligently search each bunker for a chance to discover one randomly spawned according to the level’s seed.
The Air Horn emits an obnoxious noise when the Left Mouse Button is held. And the Clown Horn sounds exactly what you might think it sounds like. While the Air Horn fetches a good price when sold, the Clown Horn is usually less valuable.
Anyway, that’s about it for the Loud Horn. Check out how to use all items in Lethal Company if you want to learn more about other items in this horror game.
