Among Us is a game that came out of nowhere and is now dominating the charts everywhere. It is one of the few games that require real teamwork among players who know nothing about each other and have to perform as a team to win the game. Doesn’t matter if one is the imposter or a crewmate, teamwork defines Among Us as a game and that is exactly what makes it so popular among players.
While there is a PC version of Among Us available on Steam but you can still play the game for free using Bluestacks. The android version of Among Us is available for free on Google Playstore and has very non-intrusive ads making it perfect for players who want to play the game on their PCs and Laptops using Bluestack. That being said, you can still pay to remove ads from the game and support the devs of Among Us.

How to Use Bluestacks Features to Get an Edge in Among Us
● Keymapping
One of the major advantages of playing Among Us on Bluestacks is using the in-built features of the emulator to get those tasks done as quickly as possible. The fact is tasks are very boring and repetitive and crewmates die the most at the hands of the imposters when they are doing tasks. Instead of failing at the card swipe three times in a row you can actually use Bluestacks keymapping to automate certain tasks. In other words, using the Bluestacks keymapping will allow you to set keybindings that can be executed at a press of a button. Just press Ctrl+Shift+A in the Bluestacks emulator and the keymapping page will open. Here you can change the presets and add new keybinds as well.
● Macro Recorder
Bluestacks also has macro recording and if you are playing Among Us on the emulator then this not a feature but a lifesaver. How many times have you failed at the card swipe task in admin? Well, now you don’t have to anymore. BlueStacks Macro Recorder allows recording certain actions that are being executed by the player and then assigning those inputs to one key. So the next time you are in admin for a card swipe, just use the BlueStacks Macro Recorder to record a successful card swipe and assign it to one key.
Unlike most games that are popular in the gaming community, Among Us offers a very different kind of leveling system by giving the game no levels at all. No matter how many times you play the game or do tasks it won’t give you any score in the game. So the only way to win for crewmates to win each match is to make sure that they find the imposter players as soon as possible and complete their tasks.
This is not the case for Imposters in Among Us. Imposters only win the match if they are able to sabotage the ship and kill crewmates while maintaining their cover as crewmates. Imposters have to lie, cheat, kill, sabotage, and if possible even get crewmates under suspicion or as they in the game “SUS” to win the match.
So is there any hope for crewmates to find the imposters in time before it is too late? Well, the answer is yes. After playing the game for hours and going through each game and analyzing the patterns of different imposters, it can be safely said that finding the real imposter in time is easier than you might think. That is why we have compiled a guide for the crewmates of Among Us so you don’t have to.
How to Find Imposter and Win in Among Us Every Match- Guide
● Tasks
Crewmates in Among Us are given tasks around the map which they have to complete in order to win the game. On the other hand, imposters are not given tasks and even if an imposter tries doing tasks it or fake tasks you as a crew member can easily spot them by using the green taskbar on the top left of the screen. The green taskbar in among us is a great way of not only finding the imposters but also players who are crewmates like you. Simply put, when a crewmate does a task in Among Us the green bar fills up, and when an imposter fakes a task you can see the same green bar stay just the same.
● Security and Cameras
This is an easy one and the one you should definitely use when the imposter has already killed 3 or more crewmates. When the body is reported or someone calls for an emergency meeting and no one is under suspicion then tell a crewmate you trust to follow you to security to look at cameras. Going with a crewmate in Security gives you two clear advantages. So incase the imposter does vent to security to kill you then the other crewmate will be able to report the body and you can always find an imposter doing a sloppy mistake on camera and report them immediately.
● Staying in the Game
This is something that is quite underrated but staying in the game even when you are killed as a crewmate is important. Yes, ghost chat is fun but completing tasks is one of the most important jobs a crewmate has in Among Us. Completing the tasks and staying until the end may not be the most exciting thing as a player but it does win you a ton of brownie or trust points when the match is over and the new one begins. Jumping from lobby to lobby ruins the game for everyone.
● Memorize Venting
This may sound difficult to do but since the game has become so popular that there are entire videos on Youtube that will explain the venting pattern in each map. This gives a huge advantage to crewmates when they are in admin and looking at just the location of players. Here is another great tip, not all vents connect to each other. Only a few do and even then it is way too easy to memorize the different connections of each map with just a few videos on Youtube.
These are just some of the tips that can actually help crewmates in Among Us and if executed properly they are the bane of any imposter. Not only will you be winning each match but also getting major trust points among other crewmates which are highly important for the time you do become the imposter and remember to say “GG” once the game is over.
