With every new, or even old moon, you travel to inLethal Company, there might just be a new entity to discover as you look for scrap for your quota. Or in some cases, it’ll attempt to find you first.

In any other game, a butler in a mansion would be a pretty normal sight, but in this case, you had better hope that you don’t see one, even if you’re scrap hunting with a group. These strange entities may look calm and even friendly, but if you stray into their view and stay too long, you might get stabbed in the back.

If the Butler isin its Aggressive state, it onlytakes a single hit with a Shovel to kill, making it fareasier to get rid of one that’s attacking youas long as youcan take a hit or dodge italtogether.

A Butlerdoes not exit its Aggressive stateuntil around30 seconds have passed since you’ve exiteda facility.

How To Deal With Mask Hornets

Thereal threat comes after the Butler is killed, as upon dying, it will burst and spawn a new entityknown asMask Hornetsalongsidedropping its signature weapon, the Kitchen Knife.

Mask Hornets aresimilar to Circuit Beesbut with alarger range and no hiveto return to. Once they’re spawned by a Butler’s death, they’llattack and follow any nearby employees.

Mask Hornetscannot be killed, but theycan be stunnedwith items like the Stun Grenade orshocked with the Zap Gun.

When they spawn and if you’replaying with multiple people, you can letone person with the Zap Gun to keep the Mask Hornets stunnedwith it for as long as possible.

Ifyou’re solo, there isn’t much you can do against the Mask Hornets exceptrun and evade them. Your best chance to live is toleave their range by exiting the facilityor outrunning themusing the TZP-Inhalant, either as an escape option or so you can continue looking for scrap.

While theycan’t leave the facility, Mask Hornets will continue toroam and attackwithin the facilityuntil your ship leaves the moon.
