LethalSpectator
Auto spectate whoever is talking. When you are dead, the spectator camera follows the teammate who is actively speaking, stays on them until they go quiet or someone else is clearly louder, and prefers to stay on a player who is standing near several others, so you watch the action instead of clicking through corpses-to-be.
- Follows the speaker. Voice activity from the game's own voice chat decides who the camera is on. Short blips and background noise do not steal the camera from someone talking — but after silence, the camera snaps to the first voice instantly so you hear the word from its start.
- Knows where the danger is. A speaker with an enemy closing in wins the camera and holds it longer, and when everyone is quiet the camera moves to whoever is about to be in trouble.
- Killer cam. When the player you are watching dies to an enemy, the camera follows the killer for a moment before moving on.
- Holds the shot. A minimum hold time, an inactivity timeout, and a "clearly louder" margin keep the camera from ping-ponging between people.
- Likes groups. A speaker who is near other players is worth staying on a bit longer.
- You stay in control. Left-click cycles players exactly as in vanilla; after a manual pick the mod waits a few seconds before taking over again. Press H (rebindable in the Keybinds menu through InputUtils) to turn auto spectate on or off. The HUD shows the current state next to the spectator controls.
- Plays nice with SpectateEnemies. While you are spectating an enemy the camera is never touched; swap back to players and auto spectate resumes.
- Client-side. Nothing changes for other players or the host; no lobby version changes.

Requirements
- BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack).
- InputUtils (Rune580) for the rebindable key. The mod still works without it using the
ToggleKeyfrom the config. - Optional: SpectateEnemies (AllToasters). Detected automatically when installed.
Notes
The mod only acts while you are dead and spectating. It never picks enemies, never changes what other players see, and never sends network messages.
