Last updated: May 10, 2026. This comprehensive scrap guide covers every lootable item in Lethal Company with accurate value ranges, weight classifications, and strategic priority rankings to maximize your quota earnings.
Scrap System Overview#
Scrap items are the primary source of income in Lethal Company. Each item has a randomized value within a specific range, a weight classification (one-handed or two-handed), and a spawn pool that determines which moons it can appear on.
Value Determination#
Each scrap item’s value is randomly generated within a defined range when the facility generates. This means two copies of the same item can have very different values.
Weight Classes#
| Class | Slots Used | Mobility | Examples |
|---|
| One-Handed | 1 slot | Full mobility | Candy, Ring, Robot Toy |
| Two-Handed | 2 slots | Reduced mobility | Cash Register, V-Type Engine |
| Special | Variable | Special interaction | Apparatus, Bee Hive |
Complete Scrap Item Database#
Apparatus excluded since it is a special case.
Tier 1: High Value (50+ credits average)#
1. Gold Bar#
| Attribute | Value |
|---|
| Value Range | 72 - 210 credits |
| Average Value | ~140 credits |
| Weight | One-handed |
| Spawn Moons | All moons |
| Rarity | Rare |
| Sell Priority | #1 — always pick up |
| Visual | Shiny gold bar, easy to spot |
Notes: The Gold Bar is the best value-per-slot item in the game. It is one-handed, meaning you can carry a flashlight or weapon in your other hand. Always prioritize Gold Bars above all other standard scrap.
2. V-Type Engine#
| Attribute | Value |
|---|
| Value Range | 80 - 140 credits |
| Average Value | ~110 credits |
| Weight | Two-handed |
| Spawn Moons | All moons |
| Rarity | Uncommon |
| Sell Priority | #2 — high value, but two-handed |
| Visual | Metal engine block with visible pistons |
Notes: High value but takes both hands. Best carried by the Hauler role while the Scout clears the path.
3. Apparatus#
| Attribute | Value |
|---|
| Value Range | 60 - 280 credits |
| Average Value | ~170 credits |
| Weight | Special (two-handed, wall-mounted) |
| Spawn Moons | All moons (apparatus room only) |
| Rarity | 1 per facility |
| Sell Priority | #3 — highest potential value but hard to extract |
| Visual | Glowing green canister on wall |
Special Mechanic: Pulling the Apparatus from its socket triggers a facility-wide alarm and increases monster spawn rate. Only take it when you are ready to leave for good.
| Action | Effect |
|---|
| Remove Apparatus | Facility alarm sounds, more monsters spawn |
| Leave quickly after removal | Survivable |
| Linger after removal | High chance of death |
4. Cash Register#
| Attribute | Value |
|---|
| Value Range | 40 - 160 credits |
| Average Value | ~100 credits |
| Weight | Two-handed |
| Spawn Moons | All moons |
| Rarity | Common |

5. Bee Hive#
| Attribute | Value |
|---|

| Average Value | ~200 credits |
| Weight | One-handed (but dangerous) |
| Spawn Moons | All moons (outdoor trees) |
| Rarity | Uncommon |
| Sell Priority | #5 — great value but tricky to obtain |
| Visual | Hanging hive on tree branches |
Special Mechanic: Bee Hives are found hanging from trees outdoors. Grabbing one aggroes a swarm of bees that chase and damage you until you enter the ship or drop the hive.
| Bee Swarm Behavior | Detail |
|---|
| Speed | Slightly faster than sprint |
| Damage | ~5 HP per sting |
| Duration | Chase until you enter ship or drop hive |
| Avoidance | Possible with zig-zag movement |
Bee Hive Strategy:
- Approach the hive carefully
- Grab it and sprint toward the ship
- Do not zig-zag — run in a straight line to the door
- Get inside the ship and the bees stop chasing
- The hive is one-handed, so you can open doors normally

Sell Price and Terminal Selling#

- Use the terminal, type
sell followed by item names - Or type
sell all to sell all scanned scrap on the ship - Confirm the sale
Terminal Sell Commands#
| Command | Function |
|---|
sell [item] | Sell a specific item |
sell all | Sell all scanned scrap |
sell [item] [item] | Sell multiple specific items |
Important: You must scan items first (with Q or the ship scanner) before the terminal recognizes them for sale.
Item Rarity by Moon#
Different moons have different scrap spawn pools. Below is each moon’s typical loot profile.
| Moon | Typical Loot Pool | Average item Value | Total Loot Value |
|---|
| Experimentation | Low-tier items, few high-value | ~30 credits per item | 200-400 per run |
| Assurance | Mixed, some medium-value | ~35 credits per item | 250-500 per run |
| Vow | Medium-tier, occasional high-value | ~40 credits per item | 300-600 per run |
| Offense | Medium-high mix | ~45 credits per item | 400-800 per run |
| March | High-value pool | ~55 credits per item | 600-1,200 per run |
| Rend | Very high-value pool | ~65 credits per item | 800-1,800 per run |
| Dine | Very high-value pool | ~65 credits per item | 900-2,000 per run |
| Titan | Maximum value pool | ~80 credits per item | 1,500-3,500 per run |
Titan Unique Loot Advantage#
Titan’s scrap generation is significantly better than other moons. It tends to spawn more:
- Gold Bars (72-210)
- Fancy Lamps (60-280)
- V-Type Engines (80-140)
- Cash Registers (40-160)
…and fewer:
- Candy (6-16)
- Metal Sheets (8-22)
- Whoopie Cushions (10-18)
Scrap Farming Strategy#
Efficiency Priority#
When looting a facility, pick items in this order:
| Priority | Item Type | Reasoning |
|---|
| 1st | Gold Bar, Bee Hive | Highest value-per-slot |
| 2nd | V-Type Engine, Cash Register | High value, two-handed |
| 3rd | Medium one-handed (Perfume, Air Horn, Clown Horn) | Good value, easy carry |
| 4th | Medium two-handed (Painting, Large Axle) | Decent value, bulky |
| 5th | Low one-handed (Ring, Tea Kettle, Pickle Jar) | Fill empty hands |
| 6th | Low two-handed (Metal Sheet, Yield Sign) | Only if nothing else |
The “One-Trip” Rule#
On easier moons (Experimentation, Assurance), make multiple trips. On harder moons (Titan, Rend), maximize each trip:
| Moon Type | Trips per Day | Strategy |
|---|
| Easy (free) | 3-5 trips | Grab everything, return often |
| Medium (free-50) | 2-3 trips | Prioritize medium+ value items |
| Hard (550-700) | 1-2 trips | Only take high-value items |
| Titan | 1-2 trips | Maximum value extraction per trip |
Scrap Value Per Slot Metric#
To calculate efficiency, divide item value by slots used:
| Item | Average Value | Slots | Value per Slot |
|---|
| Gold Bar | 140 | 1 | 140 |
| Bee Hive | 200 | 1 | 200 (risky) |
| Perfume Bottle | 62 | 1 | 62 |
| Ring | 38 | 1 | 38 |
| Air Horn | 60 | 1 | 60 |
| V-Type Engine | 110 | 2 | 55 |
| Cash Register | 100 | 2 | 50 |
| Fancy Lamp | 140 | 2 | 70 |
| Painting | 75 | 2 | 37.5 |
Key insight: A Gold Bar in one hand and a Perfume Bottle in the other (~202 credits total) is better than one V-Type Engine (~110 credits) taking both hands. One-handed items are disproportionately valuable because they let you dual-wield.
Conclusion#
Knowing scrap values transforms how you play Lethal Company. Instead of grabbing every item you see, you can prioritize high-value items and leave low-value ones behind. This is especially important on expensive moons where every slot must count.
Remember the Golden Rule of Scrap: a Gold Bar in the ship is worth more than a V-Type Engine in the facility. Do not risk death for items you have not secured yet. Get the high-value items out first, then go back for the rest.
