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: 0.1.3
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.
- Local-only spectator stability improvements when joining an unmodded host.
- Stable floating-head visibility when a spectator toggles between enhanced freecam and vanilla spectator view.
- 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.
- In unmodded-host sessions, installed clients keep the enhanced local freecam fallback without multiplayer spectator visuals or routed voice.
Configuration
The BepInEx config file is generated after the game starts once with the plugin installed:

- The mod does not create new Dissonance channels or ship custom audio assets.
- Other camera, voice, or spectator mods may conflict if they write the same runtime systems later in the frame.
