On the second day, Lance's arm was severed by Alec Hunter during a surprise cornucopia raid by the anti-careers. Lance thought that his run as a career leader would be over soon, though after a motivational talk by Astoria, Lance planned to find the anti-careers and kill them in return for their attack.

Lance was sponsored a metal arm, which allowed him to catch sharp blades. He used this to kill Alec on the fourth day, though in doing so put Lance in the sights of Rebekah Turner. Around the midpoint of the games, Lance and the careers ended up camping by a river, and the following day they met the anti-careers in a fight.

A battle erupted between the remaining eleven tributes.During the showdown Lance fights Natalie Brennan, managing to disarm her. He is distracted when an arrow deflects off his metal arm, as he tells Rebekah it had no effect. That's when Natalie forced Lance's metal arm into the river water, causing it to short-circuit. Lance used his only working human arm to stop Natalie's mace strike, but doing so left him for a fatal chest stab by Rebekah.
