README
Higgs Guitar
Higgs' guitar from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach as a weapon for Lethal Company.
- Played, not pointed. It hangs in front of you the way a guitar is played: the left hand holds the neck from underneath in a chord grip, the right hand hangs loose over the strings. It sways with your steps, and taking it out swings it round from your back.
- Sonic blast. Use the item: the right hand rakes the strings (the guitar kicks, ripples leave the strings) and is flung off them, forward and down, opening as the body turns into the stroke; a wave of heavy sound leaves along your view. The left hand moves to the next chord. The wave hurts and briefly staggers every enemy in its cone, sets off landmines and makes turrets go berserk, like a shovel hit would. It is loud; enemies that listen will hear it from far away.
- Rides on your back. Switch to another inventory slot and the guitar hangs across your back instead of disappearing.
Everyone in the lobby needs the mod.
Usage
Buy it in the terminal: higgs-guitar (typing higgs is enough). 75 credits by default.
It takes a normal inventory slot, not the utility belt.
Config
BepInEx/config/reagan.higgsguitar.cfg, created on first launch. The file is re-read while the game runs:
with a guitar in the world, save the file and the new values apply within a second, which makes the
Hold, FirstPerson and Back sections easy to tune by eye. LethalConfig works too.

Notes
- The item is assembled when the game starts, not loaded from an asset bundle.
- There is no guitar animation in the game, so all of the above is animated by the mod itself, every frame: arms, fingers, upper body and the guitar. Legs keep the game's own walking.
- The sounds are synthesised, not taken from the game.
