Easter Eggs were introduced in Lethal Company‘s Version 50 update and have quickly become a fan-favorite for creating hilarious and chaotic moments. In this guide, we’ll break down how they work, how to predict their explosions, and how to use them effectively.

How Easter Eggs Work

• Eggs can be tossed or dropped and will either explode or remain harmless.
• The explosion is highly damaging, capable of instantly killing most enemies.
• Only players can trigger egg explosions—hoarding bugs and gift boxes cannot.
• Throwing vs. dropping an egg makes no difference in whether it will explode.

Debunking the 16% Explosion Myth

Many believe eggs have a 16% chance to explode, but this isn’t exactly true. Instead, Lethal Company determines egg explosions using coordinate-based RNG.

• Every moon has a hidden coordinate grid.
• When an egg is picked up or pulled out, the game checks the exact coordinate.
• Some coordinates always cause explosions, while others never do.
• This is determined by the random seed generated at the start of the moon.

How to Control Egg Explosions

• If an egg does not explode when first thrown, it will never explode when tossed again from that same spot.
• If an egg does explode, any egg pulled out at that coordinate will always explode.
• To guarantee an egg explosion, find a coordinate that triggers an explosion, then pull out another egg at that exact spot.
• Egg explosions are highly precise, so positioning must be accurate.

The Egg Safety Trick: Avoid Explosions Entirely

A method has been developed to guarantee eggs never explode. This involves:

1. Tracking item spawn counts (since item RNG is tied to map seeds).
2. Identifying non-explosive coordinates using pre-calculated data.
3. Using map furniture (suits or cupboards) to predict safe egg pull-out spots.

For full documentation, check out the Egg Sheet (link available in the original research documents).

Special Notes:

• Jumping before pulling an egg ensures position sync with the server.
• Some seeds have bugged item counts, requiring interior-based safety lineups.
• In Version 56, hosts could cap FPS to 30 to guarantee eggs wouldn’t explode, but this was patched in later versions.

Using Easter Eggs as Weapons

Eggs Can Kill Almost Anything

• Egg explosions deal 6 damage to all entities.
• Instantly kills: Most monsters, including Giants (due to post-explosion fire damage).
• Two eggs needed for: Butlers.
• Five eggs needed for: Adult Man Eaters.
• Unaffected monsters: Gestures and Coil Heads.
• Isa’s Dogs take double damage (12 HP), making eggs extremely effective against them.

Egg Mine Traps

• Eggs can detonate landmines—a great tactic for eliminating enemies.

Easter Egg Variations & Spawn Rates

• There are five variations of Easter Eggs in Lethal Company.
• Each moon has a different spawn chance for eggs.
• Eggs have collision issues with grated floors, meaning they might fall through when thrown.

Selling Exploded Eggs at the Counter

• To avoid taking damage, stand as far from the counter as possible (ideally near the bell).
• Even exploded eggs can be sold, so make sure to ring the bell.

Final Thoughts

Easter Eggs in Lethal Company are more than just a joke—they’re a powerful tool if used correctly. By understanding explosion mechanics, players can manipulate RNG, eliminate threats, and even guarantee egg safety.
