How to open doors with the Terminal in Lethal Company
Opening doors with a Terminal in Lethal Company is a relatively straightforward process, but you'll need to perform a few steps that require you to input text at the Terminal.
Check out exactly what you need to do below.
- Locate the Terminal and press E to interact with it
- Type the command "Other" and then press Enter to send it
- Now type and send "View Monitor"
- Now you can either type "Switch", followed by a teammate's username, or just type "Switch" and press Enter to cycle through everyone
- Find the player you're looking for with the above commands
- Look at the map on the monitor, and find the code for the door that needs opening (e.g. D5, B2)
- Type and send the code into the Terminal to unlock the door (do the same to lock a door)
- If you've been successful, "BROADCASTED SPECIAL CODE" will appear on the monitor
Once a door has been opened, your teammates can successfully continue on with their scavenging missions.
I recommend having the player with the fastest typing speed at the Terminal, as if a player encounters a monster, you'll need to be fast to lock the door and protect everyone.
