Cursed Mask Mod

The Comedy Mask in Lethal Company is now cursed! Every time you pick it up or switch to it, there's a 20% chance the mask curses you.

Features

The Curse

• 20% Trigger Chance – Each time you equip or switch to the mask, you roll the dice. Only YOU know if you got cursed.
• 5-Second Takeover Animation – Your screen goes black as the mask takes over. Then a purple filter remains.
• 60-Second Timer – A countdown appears on your HUD. Find another player before time runs out!
• Voice Muted – You can no longer speak to other players while cursed. (Compatible with Skinwalker mod – AI can still use recorded voice clips.)
• Invisible to Monsters – Enemies completely ignore you while cursed.
• Reduced Stamina – Your sprint is significantly limited.
• No Items – You cannot pick up any items while cursed.
• Restricted Interactions – Only doors, ladders, and entrances can be used. No terminal, no ship lever.
• Name Hidden – Other players cannot see your name tag.
• Mask Disappears – The mask vanishes from your inventory when the curse activates.

Transfer the Curse (E Key)

• Get close to another player and press E to transfer the curse.
• The target player gets the full takeover animation and a fresh 60-second timer.
• 5-second cooldown between transfers.
• HUD shows [E] Fluch übertragen → PlayerName when near a valid target.

Permanent Curse

• If the timer runs out, the curse becomes permanent.
• Your HUD changes to show "PERMANENT" and "MASKE FEST".
• You can now infect nearby players automatically by getting close to them (like the original masked enemy behavior).
• The infection transfers the curse to the target with the vomit/blackout animation.

Shop

• The mask is available in the shop for 0 credits (configurable).
• Type buy mask in the terminal.

Multiplayer

• Full multiplayer support – All players need the mod installed.
• The curse roll happens locally on each player's client – only the affected player knows they are cursed.
• Enemy AI, name hiding, and curse transfer are synced across all clients via network messages.
• Voice muting works network-wide (Dissonance VoIP).
