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...

Among Us How to Play Without a Name

Among Us How to Play Without a Name

Among Us players on mobile can get a "blank" name to confuse other players. It's not really a blank, however; it's a unicode symbol that looks blank.

Among Us How to Play Without a Name

While it doesn't have much of a practical effect on gameplay, fans of Among Us often find ways to customize their character and differentiate themselves from the group. They can purchase and equip skins, hats, and pets to change the look of their bean-like character. They can also change their name between games. Sometimes, everyone in the group will choose a theme for their customizations, such as making their nicknames colors that do not match the color of the character, or all wearing party hats.

Other players, however, may want to blend in, or at the very least contribute to the chaos and confusion inherent in the game. Players don't actually need to use a name and can remain anonymous to blend in and confuse their friends during discussions. While not a glitch, it will only work on mobile; a patch earlier this year eliminated PC players' ability to take advantage of this workaround. The trick is to use a blank unicode character so the name field registers as filled, but there is no visible text displayed. Having a blank name can allow players to hide in tight spaces and will make it harder for others to address them in the chat, which are both significant benefits, particularly if a player is an Impostor. Here's how to get a blank name in Among Us.

Get a Blank Name in Among Us

Among Us How to Play Without a Name

Unfortunately, if players try to simply delete the display name in the box at the top of the screen, it won't work. Placing a series of spaces won't work either. To keep a blank name in Among Us, players will need to copy in the unicode character Hangul Filler U+3164, which appears as a blank space.

The easiest way to do this is to copy it from elsewhere. Players can copy the blank symbol in between the following quotation marks: "ㅤ". If this one does not work, players can also copy it from compart, which lists dozens of codes and characters for computing.

Then, when they launch Among Us, they will need to click on the box at the top of the screen and Paste the symbol to change their name to a blank. Players can only change their name prior to starting a new game, so they should make sure to do this before joining a new lobby. Players should be cautious, however, as this sometimes gets players booted from certain public lobbies. Fans of the game do take having a visible name seriously to avoid unfair advantages.

This trick works well on mobile, but it will not work for PC players. InnerSloth patched the game earlier this year, eliminating access to the clipboard on the PC version and rendering this workaround impossible. It is possible it will also be patched out of mobile versions of the game in future updates.

With millions of players worldwide, Among Us became something of an overnight success. Despite being released two years ago, it has exploded in popularity as a way for friends to get together and have fun while socially distanced. The game became so popular that InnerSloth has canceled the sequel to focus on adding new features to the original game. An update is expected to drop sometime in the next few weeks, and players can look forward to finding new ways to confuse and deceive their friends or raise their suspicions and get ejected from the airlock.

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence Among Us is pretty brutal for such a simple-looking game with cute, rounded characters. Here's each kill animation ranked from least to most violent. Despite the rather cute and simple look of Among Us, the online science fiction game has some pretty horrific kill animations that are often shown when an Impostor is left alone with an unsuspecting Crewmate. This list will go over each one, ranking them from least to most violent. Killing is a natural part of Among Us as the premise states a parasitic shapeshifter Impostor has taken the place of one of the Crewmates in an otherwise productive crew of MIRA scientists, explorers, and researchers. Crewmates try figure out who the Impostor is while trying to stay alive, but fans know that death is an inevitable part of the game. In fact, the absence of one makes it near impossible to find out who the real Impostors are. Currently, there are only four different kill animations, but...

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started One interesting Among Us fan theory offers an explanation on the origins of the Impostors and provides a timeline for when and where they appear. The online social deduction multiplayer title Among Us is a relatively simple game, but it's recent success has already brought about some interesting and complex fan theories to give more backstory to the space-themed setting. One theory gives a plausible explanation for how the Impostors came to be, incorporating each of the maps for more evidence. There are currently three maps in Among Us: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and the latest addition, Polus. The developers are in the process of adding a new map, so this theory will only pertain to the ones already available. The Skeld is the primary map that takes place on a cargo spaceship which travels to the other locations. MIRA HQ is a tall building set high in a planet's atmosphere and is the location the Crewmates travel back to a...
