Lethal Company: What is Overtime Bonus and how do you get it?

The Overtime Bonus is extra money you get based on exceeding the profit quota set by the Company. You need to hold onto your scrap for the full three days to achieve this bonus. Sell at the Company Building on the final day (day zero) for 100 percent buyback. This will not only reward you with the highest profit but it will also exceed the quota, gaining you an Overtime Bonus. You will not receive a bonus if you exceed the quota before the final day.

While we are unsure of the accurate calculations on how the Overtime Bonus specifically works, the more scrap you sell to exceed the profit quota, the higher the bonus will be. We recommend docking at the same Moon repeatedly, especially if you paid the landing fee for Dine, Rend, and Titan. It may be helpful to hold onto some scrap for future quotas, but selling all of your goodies to the Company will grant you a higher Overtime Bonus to spend on ship upgrades and gear.

Overtime Bonus is only achieved after selling scrap, beating the quota, and returning to orbit after day zero. Look for the highest-value items and prioritize them over others. Visit the safer and more consistent Moon of March for valuable bee hives, and build that cash flow for a later visit at the dangerous Moons Rend, Dine, and Titan as these have the highest total value of scrap in Lethal Company. Make sure you scan with right-click to see the value of each item.

There are multiple strategies to survive and beat Lethal Company. You can either save scrap to sell for future quotas or sell everything for extra money to spend at the Store. What you choose will determine the amount of credit you have available for future expeditions. You can spend credit from selling scrap at the Store, and you don’t need to save up your credit unless you want a specific item like the Jetpack or Zap Gun.
