The Apparatus is an important radioactive light that powers the building and all its electricity in Lethal Company. You or anyone else on your team can pick up the Apparatus. Once detached, the building will lose power, and radioactive levels will rise.
Don’t worry, though. It’s perfectly safe and even has some benefits. Here’s everything you need to know about the Apparatus in Lethal Company.
What is the Apparatus and what does it do in Lethal Company?

The Apparatus is found in a dark hallway near the back of the facility. It is accessible through either of the two doors and is almost always locked. The Apparatus makes a loud humming noise. Once you enter the room, you will know it is there.
How to use the Apparatus in Lethal Company
To use the Apparatus in Lethal Company, your only option is to sell it as of right now. It does nothing else in the game yet, but the Steam community believes it could be tied to an Easter egg dealing with the Submarine.
Some players have found a machine that looks like a drill, with two slots that seem like they are made for the Apparatuses. But these can’t be used yet, so we’re most likely left to wait for a new game update that will reveal what it’s all about.

How do you sell the Apparatus in Lethal Company?
You sell the Apparatus in Lethal Company by traveling to the Company and using the counter with a bell.
You can’t sell the Apparatus or any other items while you’re on a moon. You need to take it back to your ship first. Then, you can sell it to the Company just like you sell other items and scrap. To get where you need to, follow these steps via the terminal:
- Type in “Moons.”
- Type in “Company.”
- Type in “Confirm.”
When you’re at the company, place the Apparatus at the counter with a red number display and ring the bell. A tentacle will come out and take the item you’re selling.
