Enhanced Spectator
Enhanced Spectator is a BepInEx mod for Lethal Company that improves the spectator experience while preserving the game's vanilla death, target-selection, and lobby flow.
This is a public test release. Multiplayer features require compatible players to install the same mod version.
Version: 0.1.1
Features
- Enhanced freecam for dead spectators.
- Configurable movement, recenter, reset, fast, and slow controls.
- Spectator presence between compatible modded peers.
- Runtime detached-head spectator visuals and name tags, with placeholder fallback when the runtime source is unavailable.
- Dead spectator visibility for living and dead compatible peers.
- Speaking head scale and pulse driven by synced voice activity.
- Configurable routed dead-spectator voice between compatible peers.
- Positional spectator voice and distance attenuation when pose sync is available.
- Runtime-only visuals. No game assets are exported, saved, or packaged.

Installation
Install through Thunderstore or r2modman.
For manual installation, place EnhancedSpectator.dll in a BepInEx plugin folder for Lethal Company.
Multiplayer Requirements
- Local freecam works client-side.
- Floating-head visuals, name tags, voice-activity scaling, and routed spectator voice require compatible Enhanced Spectator peers.
- Client-to-client visibility requires a compatible modded host with host relay enabled.
- Unmodded hosts and unmodded peers safely fall back to local-only behavior.

The BepInEx config file is generated after the game starts once with the plugin installed:
