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 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.

Among Us Theory Why Crewmates ALWAYS Wear Spacesuits

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' origins, but relatively little is known about Among Us' crewmates. It's even unclear whether crewmates are human or alien, in no small part because of their body-obscuring suits. Either way, investigating the possible purpose of those suits themselves can give fans some insight into crewmates' daily lives.

Do Among Us' Crewmates Wear Spacesuits Or Hazmat Suits?

Among Us Theory Why Crewmates ALWAYS Wear Spacesuits

While playing on all three maps, Impostors are able to sabotage crewmates' oxygen supplies in a central location. This implies that, rather than a limited, self-contained oxygen tank, crewmates' suits somehow get their O2 from their surroundings. Perhaps their backpacks absorb enough oxygen to sustain them for a short time without the central supply, explaining why they're able to venture outside the facility on Polus. But if that's the case, couldn't they just put them on only when they need to leave the safety of the oxygen-rich indoors? It appears Among Us' crewmates actually wear them at all times, according to the picture in their wallets (viewable during the Swipe Card task), so why can't they ever take them off?

One theory, from Apex Legends YouTuber KEVTHEKING99-YT, suggests the crewmates are trying to avoid some sort of disease. KEVTHEKING99-YT argues crewmates may have started to wear spacesuits or hazmat suits to protect themselves, then, as it became the norm to wear them at all times, they colored them in a variety of shades to help identify each other. It's unknown what this disease could be, but it could be the parasite that turns crewmates into Impostors (if that's what Among Us' Impostors are, at least).

A more likely explanation may be a simple, practical one. Since Among Us' crewmates are actively under attack from Impostors and know they'll often be voting others out the airlocks, they may just want to constantly keep their suits on in order to avoid being exposed to Polus' alien atmosphere, The Skeld's vacuum of space, or MIRA HQ's apparently toxic air (judging by the planet's heavy cloud of smog, when viewed through Polus' telescope). This still wouldn't explain the wallet photo, however, as it's unlikely crewmates were taking family pictures while being hunted. With the threat of Impostors, exposure, and suffocation at the hands of just a few stray leaves in the O2 filters, maybe crewmates' lives are simply so full of danger that they've never had a choice but to stay safely in their spacesuits, even in their own homes.

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...

What Among Us Least Sus Names Are

What Among Us Least Sus Names Are Appearing unsuspicious is a vital aspect of playing Among Us, and choosing the right name is an important part of that. What names are the least sus? Naming characters in Among Us is one of the funnest aspects of the game. Names can be a great way for players to make their friends laugh, or a way to confuse other players and even fly under the radar. However, a suspicious - or sus - name can be a surefire way to get ejected. So, what are some of the least sus names in Among Us now? Player perceptions regarding sus names in Among Us have changed with the game. When Among Us first rose in popularity last year, something as simple as naming a character "Honest Abe" or "Trusty Bob" could inspire trustworthiness. However, that's not really the case anymore. Most players will see this naming convention as a ruse, and it might actually backfire - making other crewmates more suspicious of someone with "Honest" or "Trusty...

Among Us Concept Art Shows How Fast Crewmate Design Came Together

Among Us Concept Art Shows How Fast Crewmate Design Came Together Newly released concept art for Among Us shows that the simple design of the crewmate was settled very early on in the development process. Concept art for Among Us has emerged online, showing that the design of the crewmate characters in the game was remarkably similar to the result and was finalized very quickly by developer InnerSloth. The game, which actually released way back in 2018, has become a surprise hit over the last month or so. In fact, the popularity of the indie title has risen so much that it has overtaken other surprise successes like Fall Guys on streaming site Twitch. Among Us takes the basic concept from social deduction board games like Ultimate Werewolf and transfers it to a video game experience. Players take on the role of crewmates carrying out basic tasks on a spaceship, while one is an imposter who is trying to kill off the rest of the crew. Psychological manipulation and deceit play an importa...
