Among Us by Innersloth has become quickly one of the most popular games not only in the gaming community but also among people who are not gamers at all. Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by American game studio InnerSloth. Even though the game was launched on June 15, 2018, it took it a pandemic and one of the worst years in modern human history to become the behemoth it is.
The idea behind the game is simple. There are 10 crewmembers and among those crew members are either 1 or 2 or 3 imposters. The crew members are supposed to find out who the imposters are Among them and do the various tasks around the space ship. While the crew members are busy doing tasks, the imposters are supposed to run around the space ship sabotaging and killing the crew members.
Among Us Tips and Tricks For Crewmembers and Imposters:
- If you see the cameras in the game blinking with red lights, it means that a player is inside the security room and checking on the cameras. So if you are an imposter, you should always check if the camera lights are blinking before you kill a crew member. The camera light will stop blinking if no one is checking on the video footage.
- Imposters cannot do any real tasks in Among Us like crewmates do. You will find often that imposters will fake doing tasks so they can confuse the crew mates. One way to tell if an imposter is doing fake tasks is to go to the armchair where there is a shooting task. When a crew member does these tasks, you will see the outside spaceship gun fire shots as well. You won't see those shots when an imposter fakes a task.
- If there is a crewmate that is sus for being the imposter then try making them do tasks like the medbay scan or trash thowing or armchair shooting tasks. All of these tasks have animations that go with them which other crew members can also see. Also, only a crewmember can do these tasks. No imposter can do these tasks.
- Another good way to find an imposter doing fake tasks is to always check on crew mates when they are doing a task. As soon as a task is complete you will see the TOTAL_TASKS COMPLETED bar in the top left corner move. If the tasks was done by a crew member then the green in the bar will increase. If it was an imposter faking tasks then you will know immedaitly.
- If you are an imposter then sabotaging is one of the many things you can try to win the game. In the sabotage tab of the imposter there are two clear options. One is the communications, O2, Electrical, Reactor, etc which when clicked will cause a havoc on the space ship. The other option is the one that has X written over the white circles. Those are doors that the imposter can lock and do more sabotage.
- This is an important tip for crew members. Spam the report button when you are playing Among US. Always keep clicking on the report button so even if the lights go out you can still report a body even if you can't see the body.
