Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

How to Install (& Play) the Vent Digger Mod in Among Us

How to Install (& Play) the Vent Digger Mod in Among Us The Vent Digger Mod for Among Us by ZiadMontaser gives Impostors the power to build their own Vent network anywhere on the map. Here's how to get it. While many of the most popular Among Us mods add roles for crewmates and Impostors, there are also some that introduce new features everyone can enjoy, such as the extremely popular CrewLink and Proximity Voice Chat mods. One of the most important features for Impostors in Among Us are Vents, and the Vent Digger mod enhances this mechanic significantly. Normally, when an Impostor uses a Vent, they can only enter one of a few predetermined rooms in the Vent network. Additionally, Vents tend to appear in well-traveled areas, making it difficult to use them undetected. The Vent Digger Mod changes this, allowing the Impostor to place Vents that connect to each other anywhere on the map. The Vent Digger Mod makes Impostor Venting even more dangerous for crewmates, as they'll n...

Is Among Us Actually Fun With 100 Players

Is Among Us Actually Fun With 100 Players Installing a new mod lets people play Among Us with 100 players. But is playing in a 100-person game actually fun - or is it just really crowded? Over the last few months, Among Us has proven incredibly popular with streamers, players, and modders. Fans have invented a lot of great mods that can make Among Us even more fun. Of course, none of these mods are officially endorsed by developer InnerSloth, but they're still great ways to mix things up while waiting on new content to drop. Now, a new mod allows 100 players to enter a lobby together, but is it actually fun - or is it just crowded? There are two constants with Among Us fans: people are always coming up with new games to play inside a map (like Hide and Seek), and people are always inventing new mods to alter gameplay (like the popular Voice Proximity Chat Among Us mod). The 100-person mod is a perfect mix of both of those, as it alters gameplay while also essentially creating a new...

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet A 2021 map for Among Us updates is still missing in action, despite a promise early this year - which may be because predictions are impossible. In a January blog post, Among Us creators InnerSloth promised a content roadmap for 2021. The idea was to "be more transparent" about what features were launching for the social deduction game, and in which order. As of mid-May, however, that roadmap for Among Us still doesn't exist, and given both the time of year and the likely explanation, it may not arrive at all. Among Us first launched in June 2018 as a mobile-only title for iOS and Android, only reaching PCs in November that year. It was largely sidelined until early 2020, when Twitch and YouTube streamers helped shoot it to massive popularity. This resulted in a Nintendo Switch port in December, and plans for both Xbox and PlayStation versions by the end of 2021. In terms of original content, the biggest release so far has been...

Among Us Theory Why Crewmates ALWAYS Wear Spacesuits

Among Us Theory Why Crewmates ALWAYS Wear Spacesuits Among Us' crewmates constantly wear spacesuits, but why do these colorful astronauts need them indoors? Fan theories may explain the reason. The adorable little crewmates of Among Us are always seen wearing full spacesuits, even indoors. These serve the obvious gameplay purpose of letting Impostors blend in with their colorful peers, but the in-universe reason for Among Us' crewmate costumes is less clear. Despite being extremely light on story, Among Us contains quite a few clues fans have pieced together into a fairly cohesive picture of its lore. One particularly compelling theory, for instance, uses Among Us' maps as a timeline for how the Impostor attacks started. The theory suggests crewmates traveled on their ship, The Skeld, from MIRA HQ to Polus. There, they encountered the alien Impostors, and the dangerous creatures followed them aboard the ship and back to their home planet. This theory explains the Impostors...

When Among Us Is Coming To Xbox One

When Among Us Is Coming To Xbox One Since Among Us' skyrocketing success, many Xbox One owners are wondering when the game is coming to their platform, but Innersloth has some obstacles. Among Us is arguable the most popular online game right now, and is playable on both PC and mobile devices. The Steam version cost $5, and it's free on the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store. Many Xbox players don't have access to a PC and would rather use their controller and headset to play, rather than use the joystick and touch-screen controls on their phones. This is why many Xbox owners are wondering if Among Us will be coming to Xbox One anytime soon. Innersloth hasn't exactly confirmed Among Us' port to Xbox One, but a little bit of information has been revealed during live streams. Although there is no real confirmation from Innersloth about the development of Among Us on Xbox One, the creators have revealed that they want to eventually bring the game to other platform...

How to Play Jester Mode in Among Us (Custom Game) In Jester Mode, a custom game mode for Among Us, one player is assigned the role of Jester. They need to be voted out to win the whole game. Players can become suspicious of just about everyone in a lobby when playing Jester mode in Among Us. Among Us is a traditional social deduction game, similar to Werewolf or Mafia. Right now, Among Us only supports the original, classic game format. Players are split into two groups. The larger group are the crewmates who are assigned tasks to complete and who must discover and vote to eject all the Impostors to win the game. The smaller group of Impostors usually contains one or two players. These players must sabotage and kill every crewmate to win the game. Players in the community have gotten creative building mods and custom game modes to change the format of Among Us and keep the experience fresh and interesting. One new game mode introduces a Jester role to the game. In this mod, the Jester...

Among Us Tips & Tricks for Surviving (or STALKING) the Airship

Among Us Tips & Tricks for Surviving (or STALKING) the Airship Among Us' new maze-like Airship map is by far the largest and most complex one in the game. Here are some tips and tricks to help players navigate it. Among Us, the most popular digital game of all time, has a new Airship map, which features some unique challenges for crewmates and imposters alike. Most of the game's previous maps are fairly straightforward, sometimes with a mechanical gimmick or an odd layout quirk that helps keep players on their toes. However, while those support the same general strategies, the Airship is different enough to present a challenge even for veteran players. The Airship map references InnerSloth's previous title, The Henry Stickmin Collection, an underrated point-and-click title. While experience with that game isn't necessary for playing Among Us' Airship level, it does help players understand some of the map's design choices and references. Navigating the Airshi...

How To Have A Civil Argument In Among Us (& What The Rules Should Be)

How To Have A Civil Argument In Among Us (& What The Rules Should Be) Among Us is meant to be tense, but it doesn't need to be frustrating; having a civil debate about the Impostor in the meeting phase is easy. Most players would agree Among Us is much better with players speaking over voice chat programs like Discord, but conversations can quickly turn to arguments as crewmates try to track down the Impostor in the meeting phase. This is especially true in the later rounds of Among Us, when the pressure is on. Though there is no issue with healthy debate, some Among Us arguments get too intense and could drive players away from the game. Additionally, chaotic arguments are the perfect way for Impostors to steal the win, as less information gets across to the crewmates. How can players have a fair and balanced discussion about who is sus in Among Us? How can players get more wins as crewmates? And what should they try to to interrupt as an Impostor? All of these can be helped w...

Everything Revealed In Among Us New Update Roadmap Trailer

Everything Revealed In Among Us New Update Roadmap Trailer The Among Us developers at Innersloth recently put out a new roadmap trailer showcasing what is being worked on for future updates of the game. The developers behind Among Us recently unveiled a new roadmap trailer that announced and confirmed a lot of new content coming to the game in the future. The trailer did preface that the items shown were unfinished, so it could take some time before these additions actually arrive. Players have new game modes, cosmetics, and a new map to look forward to with updates that are on the way. Some of the smaller things announced in the new trailer included new colors in Among Us and visor cosmetics. The new colors and skins have been getting revealed slowly from the developers for a while, and visor cosmetics will be a new way to customize crewmates. Another unique update to the game will be the addition of achievements. The achievements appear to track certain stats and progressions in the ...

Eville Makes Among Us Into a Multiplayer Roleplaying Game

Eville Makes Among Us Into a Multiplayer Roleplaying Game Eville introduces RPG mechanics to social deception games, like Among Us and Werewolf. Here's what players can expect from the upcoming title. The social deception game Among Us has seemingly jump-started a genre filled with similar titles, such as the visual novel Gnosia. Social deception games have been around for a long time, with Town of Salem and Trouble in Terrorist Town being two notable examples. The upcoming title Eville aims to bring gameplay similar to party games like Werewolf and Mafia to the genre of RPGs. Eville is developed by VestGames and is slated for Early Access release on Steam, though an exact date has yet to be announced. The game is set to release in Early Access, though the exact date is currently unknown. There's also a closed Alpha, for the game's community members to playtest. Eville's gameplay combines RPG mechanics such as class abilities, brewing alchemical potions and real-time co...

Among Us Why Impostors Win More Than Crewmates

Among Us Why Impostors Win More Than Crewmates The Impostors in Among Us have been revealed to win games more often than the Crewmates do, but why is this the case and how do players change it? Impostors seem to control the game in Among Us, and they win more often than the Crewmates do, but it doesn't have to be that way. Among Us' Impostors have smaller numbers than the Crewmates, but thanks to their ability to vent into small areas and sabotage pieces of machinery from a distance it can feel as if the Crewmates are only prolonging the inevitable when trying to escape from their attackers. However, Among Us' Impostors aren't undefeatable - they're just overpowered. In Among Us, players can choose to have either one, two, or three Impostors roaming the map. With the maximum amount of allowed players, this means that there can be three Impostors and seven Crewmates scattered around an Among Us map at any given time. While seven against three seems like pretty good o...

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About

What Among Us Story & Plot Is Actually About Among Us is a murder mystery sci-fi experience that's sweeping the gaming world, but what is the plot and story behind all the madness? Space travel, betrayal, murder, and maintenance. These are just a few of the exciting elements involved in the gaming sensation Among Us. Gamers have recently breathed new life into Innersloth's 2018 game, and the world can't stop talking about it. But what is Among Us' story about, underneath all the intrigue? Innersloth released Among Us for Android and iOS in July 2018, and it quickly came to Steam that August. The game was enough of a success for Innersloth to improve upon it with various updates for the past two years, but Among Us remained a somewhat unknown gem until recently. While Among Us is quick to throw players into the action, it offers very little to explain its story. Imagination can fill in a few gaps, but players do have some details to make assumptions from. Among Us pl...

Imposter Games That Fans Of Among Us Will Enjoy

Imposter Games That Fans Of Among Us Will Enjoy A list of imposter-spotting video games like Among Us to tickle gamers' paranoia bones, thanks to tense gameplay and atmospheric design. The space repair and sabotage game Among Us has become a surprising smash hit over the past few months, despite its simple 2D graphics and because of its tense cat-and-mouse gameplay. Among Us sees "crewmates" prep a spaceship for departure while "Impostors" try to sabotage and kill every single other player. Gamers who enjoy the sinister mystery-solving and paranoid finger-pointing of Among Us should check out the following titles, which mix similar themes with different genres and alternate gameplay mechanics. The narrative premise of Among Us, centered around gameplay interludes where players in a chat channel accuse each other of being Impostors and vote whether to throw their fellows out the airlock, draws inspiration from many fictional sources. The idea of a spaceship being...

Where Among Us Impostors Really Come From

Where Among Us Impostors Really Come From A convincing Among Us fan theory perfectly explains where the Impostors came from, and how they infiltrated the different Crewmate maps. A reasonable explanation for where the Impostors in Among Us comes from has been presented, and it makes a lot of sense, especially given what little lore is known about the science fiction online multiplayer title. Although debatable, Crewmates are assumed to be human researchers and explorers who work for and have made residence at MIRA HQ, which is located in a tall skyscraper building situated in the atmosphere above a polluted planet. Many believe this planet is the once habitable Earth, but when viewing it from the telescope on Polus, it's clearly shown to be brown and smoggy. MIRA employees have set up an outpost on Polus - a cold, snowy planet with a hot core - and they travel back and forth to these locations via a cargo spaceship called The Skeld, the original map in Among Us. According to the pr...

Every Among Us Skin Ranked From Cute To Sus

Every Among Us Skin Ranked From Cute To Sus Players should choose their skin wisely, as it can affect whether players think they're innocent. Here's every Among Us skin, ranked from cute to sus. Appearances alone are often what causes players to get ejected in Among Us. Why keep the security guard with devil's horns around, after all, when the plant wearing overalls is much less threatening? This article takes a look at all 16 skins in Among Us (including the naked crewmate) and ranks them on a scale of cute to sus. In Among Us, players can try to talk themselves out of a suspicious questioning from their fellow crewmates. However, talking is only one piece of the puzzle, and players should be prepared to seem as innocent as possible from the beginning of a game, whether they're a crewmate or an Impostor. Players also need to focus on how their crewmate looks. In a public Among Us lobby, players make their first impressions based on how their character looks, which can ...

How Among Us New Sheriff Role Could Be Different From Mods

How Among Us New Sheriff Role Could Be Different From Mods Innersloth is officially adding in a Sheriff role to Among Us, and it could be a bit different from the fan-created role mods that have appeared. In the past six months, countless mods have arrived in Among Us, the social deduction game from Innersloth that's become a huge part of pop culture. One of the most popular fan-created mods is the Sheriff role, but now Innersloth has announced it will be adding in an official version of this role soon. Here's how the official Sheriff role may be different from the mods. The Summer Game Fest 2021 trailer for Among Us showed off a lot of exciting new features, including teasing a fifth map. The trailer also revealed new roles would be coming to the game, although only Scientist and Sheriff were confirmed. Modded roles have become wildly popular in Among Us, so it's perhaps not too surprising that Innersloth is going to add in a few official ones of its own. However, the trai...

Among Us Impostor & Crewmate Odds Explained

Among Us Impostor & Crewmate Odds Explained Among Us uses an algorithm to determine the odds of being and Imposter vs a Crewmate when setting up a game. The more Imposters, the better the odds! When joining a game in Among Us, players are divided between Impostors and crewmates. Which role players receive feels arbitrary, but there is a mathematical equation players can use to see how this decision is made. Understanding the factors that set up the chance of a player being friend or foe can help in deciding how many people to invite to an Among Us lobby and how many Impostors to toggle. An Impostor's job in Among Us is to eliminate enough crewmates on the ship to create an even balance of crewmates to Impostors. This must be done before all the tasks on the ship have been completed, or the Imposters are exposed and ejected. Imposters can't interact with the tasks, but they can sabotage crewmates by creating issues that they must either fix or wait out. The more Impostors in...

Why Among Us New 15Player Lobbies Will Need More Imposters

Why Among Us New 15Player Lobbies Will Need More Imposters InnerSloth will introduce 15-player lobbies into Among Us in a future update. This extra amount of players means extra Impostors are needed as well. Since its release in 2018, Among Us has gotten some pretty major updates. Now, thanks in part to renewed interest in the game and its rising popularity, more updates are on the way. InnerSloth, the indie studio behind Among Us, has already announced several upcoming new features. One of these is the option to play in a lobby for up to 15 players. However, this lobby will need to come with a higher number of Impostors as well. The last major update for Among Us added the Airship, the long-awaited new map that was the game's largest one to date. After nearly two months, however, some players are growing tired of the game maps and gameplay mechanics once more. This is perhaps why Among Us has once again seen an increase in mods, as fans and streamers look to shake up gameplay unti...

How Much Among Us Costs On Switch

How Much Among Us Costs On Switch Among Us is out now on Nintendo Switch, and although the mobile version was available to players for free, the Switch port of Among Us isn't. InnerSloth's hit social deduction game Among Us is out now on Nintendo Switch, but it isn't free like the mobile version is. In fact, the Nintendo Switch version of Among Us costs just as much as the game does on Steam, which actually makes a lot of sense since it also includes certain clothing items which aren't immediately available to mobile Among Us players. Although the game originally launched in 2018, it wasn't until earlier this year that Among Us took the gaming community by storm and became one of the most-watched titles on streaming sites like Twitch. Fresh off some much-deserved wins at The Game Awards 2020, along with the reveal of a brand-new Among Us map, recently Nintendo announced InnerSloth's popular title was coming to the Switch console - and then revealed it was availa...
