Lethal Company Zap Gun – How Does It Work & How to Use It?

Are you trying to use the Zap Gun in Lethal Company? It can be tricky to understand how it works since currently it’s very inconsistent.

The Zap Gun stuns the target for a few seconds, allowing you either to make an escape or take it down with a melee weapon. However, the tricky part is that it targets the nearest entity, including allies.

As a result, this tool feels weird to use. This guide will go through everything you need about it to make sure you’re making the most out of it.

How Does the Zap Gun Work in Lethal Company?

The Zap Gun is a portable taser guide that can be used to stun an enemy for a few seconds. It’s a great tool to escape close-quarter encounters and get some space from any monster chasing you.

For instance, this weapon is a great option to avoid and beat Thumpers in Lethal Company.

It costs 400 credits to buy, weighs 11lb, and can be used for about 10 seconds in one run.

How to Use the Zap Gun

To use the Zap Gun in Lethal Company, aim at an enemy and start shooting. You will need to keep firing so that the enemy can remain stunned.

Ideally, you want to have a friend with you that can start attacking the stunned enemy while you keep it stunned. The best weapons that your friends can use here include the Stop Sign and the Shovel.

Keep in mind that its battery doesn’t last forever. Once it starts smoking, it means it’s almost out of battery. Since you must hold it for a few seconds to keep an enemy stunned, it can be used about 2 to 3 times during a run.

However, currently, the Zap Gun is slightly bug in the sense that it will always target the closest entity, even if that’s an ally.

For instance, if there’s an enemy in front of you but an ally right next to you, the Zap Gun will currently target your ally, even if you’re looking at the enemy.

Thus, to use it efficiency and avoid missing, make sure you use it only when the closest entity to you is an enemy.
