This item also gives you “???” if you try to scan its worth, so let’s discuss whether it’s a good idea or not to take an Apparatus.

Lethal Company: Will the Apparatus give you radiation poisoning?

If you’re wondering if the Apparatus is safe to remove in Lethal Company, the answer is a resounding yes. Taking an Apparatus may sound like a big deal when it happens, but that’s only because it switches the entire building’s power off.

So if you do decide to take an Apparatus, it’s probably best to do it at the end of your mission. It’s never fun exploring a facility with no power, as it forces you to rely on your own flashlights. It’s a great find as well because they’re typically worth around 80-100 credits. If you’re struggling to meet your quota, definitely don’t ignore any Apparatus you pass by.

But what about the radiation warning? Although it does give a warning about the possibility of radiation poisoning, it doesn’t seem to actually affect you. We’re not sure why it gives such a strong warning, but for now, it seems to only affect the building’s lights and power. Some players online have said that more creatures seem to appear when all the lights are off, so be cautious about that.

When you bring an Apparatus back to your ship, there continues to be no risk involved in keeping it around. It even acts as a nice light source, if you need one. And since it’s one of the more pricey items you can find on moons, it can really help bring up your credits to match the quota.
