The “tricks” to help you easily become a master in Among Us

Basic tips for new players:

Among Us support from 4 to 10 players divided into two teams: From 1 to 3 Impostor (Impostor), and the rest are Crewmate (Sailor). The Crewmates are won by doing simple quests around the map or by eliminating all Impostors. Impostor wins by killing Crewmate until Crewmate equals Impostor. Once the dead are found and reported, a discussion will take place, players can vote for who they think is the Impostor or not vote if they are unsure.

1. Shh! (Silent)

Do not talk while on duty. You are only allowed to talk (usually via ) Discord) before the match begins or during discussions. You are also not allowed to speak after you are killed. Killed Crewmates can still move around the map as ghosts to complete quests, but you can’t talk during discussions.

2. Vigilance is the key

Keep in mind what others are doing as you move around the station. For example, if you see 3 other players on your way to the Admin room and then a dead person is discovered nearby, you can share this information with the rest of the team. team. Likewise, if you’re playing as an Impostor, knowing where others are on the map will keep you hidden and can even help you trap others.

Tips for Crewmate:

1. Complete your quest

This may sound obvious, but it’s easy to get caught up in the game and forget that you have quests to complete. There is a combination of long and short missions, depending on the setting your host has chosen. Stay alert when observing suspicious activity, but try to keep an eye on the prize to put pressure on the Impostors.

2. Don’t ignore vandalism

If the Impostor is sabotaging the station, you must rush to a specific room to repair the malfunctioning equipment. If the team ignores those, the Impostor can easily win. So, quickly follow the arrows that appear on the map in these situations and repair quickly with the rest of the team.

3. Check Cameras, Door Logs and Vitals

Some maps have rooms that allow you to test other players. The Polus map has Vitals that let you see which players are alive or dead, and the Camera shows you a live security feed. Regularly checking these stations can help you spot an Impostor in action or spot a dead body before another Crewmate stumbles upon it. The MIRA HQ map also allows Crewmate to view Door Logs to track how other players move around the station. Once you’re familiar with the map, you’ll be able to spot when someone is moving irregularly.

4. Observe the visual tasks (tasks that others can see you’re doing)

Experienced players may prefer to skip visual tasks, but if you’re just starting out, they can help you determine which of your teammates is innocent. For example, if another player jumps on the scanner to complete the Send Scan task in MedBay, you can watch the scan progress. If you see a green border appear at the end, you can make sure your friend is innocent and defend them in the next discussion to narrow down the Impostor.

5. Don’t delay reporting

An urgent discussion can be opened if you believe you have discovered valuable information regarding Impostors. Each map has an Emergency button, and the number of emergency meetings in each game can be adjusted by the room owner. In each map, the location of this button is different.

Vandalism involving O2, Reactor, Communication, and Light all disable Crewmate’s ability to interact with the Emergency button. After each urgent discussion, the player must also wait a period of time before the next discussion can be opened.

Tips for Impostor:

1. Vent (Vent)

Unlike Crewmate, Impostor can move around the map much faster by jumping in and out of vents – small, gray grids on the floor. You can hide in these vents and slowly decide which room to appear in, but the cooldowns of vandalism and killing will pause when you’re out of sight. Before rushing out of the vent, you should wait a few seconds to see which Crewmate is nearby, or you will be “kicked” out of the station mercilessly.

2. Pretend to be busy

As the Impostor, your goal is to sabotage and kill the Crewmates, but you need to have backup missions to help you blend in with the rest of the team. Pick a few tasks that you can claim to have done between meetings so that you’ll be ready to defend yourself confidently when asked. Remember that you can’t fake visual tasks because it’s like claiming to be an Impostor.

Go to places where there are quests and pause for a few seconds to look as if you are on your mission. Others will follow and good Crewmates will mention the names of those who failed to complete the task in the discussions. After playing for a few hours, you’ll notice the ways in which you can build a convincing defense, while also seizing opportunistic moments to blame others.

3. Vandalism

Turning off the lights, breaking the Reactor, and sealing the doors are just a few ways you can slow down the Crewmates and orchestrate a carnage. There is a cooldown after doing the sabotage, so plan ahead and think about how you can target a Crewmate and quickly disappear afterwards. Killing people near the vents gives you an escape route, but consider keeping a Crewmate in the room with you to avoid them leaving or someone else coming in and witnessing the attack.

Turning off the lights will limit Crewmate’s view and help you make a quick “elimination”, even when others are nearby. You can even trigger sabotage and repair them yourself to give Crewmates confidence.

4. Beware of Camera

The Crewmates use security cameras to check on others. While it’s best to avoid killing people in view of the camera entirely, sometimes you only have a few seconds to seize your chance. Thankfully, you can tell when the security camera is active because it will display a flashing red light. Even when killing people outside of the security camera’s range, if you notice that someone is monitoring the area, you should take extra care to make sure you make normal movements in and out of the room.

5. Report dead body

Gaining the trust of others can be challenging, but you can try to blame a Crewmate by reporting the corpse of a player you’ve killed. This strategy is certainly risky and could easily backfire if the other Crewmates all prove innocent. Likewise, if you know that Crewmate suspects an innocent player, reporting them while they are nearby will help you eliminate 1 Crewmate, bringing you closer to victory.

6. Collaborate with other Impostors

These tactics are difficult to implement, but they can end the game quickly. If you’re in a match with multiple Impostors, be sure to keep an eye on what they’re doing. You may not be able to talk to them, but you can find out their intentions based on the vandalism they have done, as well as their movements and location on the map.

The separate operation ensures that each person will have different “prey”, but you can protect each other, as long as your story is legit. Towards the end of the game, when there are few Crewmates left or when they can get close to completing all the quests, teaming up with another Impostor can end the game quickly. Choosing a mutually beneficial destructive action, such as turning off the lights, can help you and the other Impostor kill 2 people at once. This ensures you’re making the most of the time between cooldowns.
