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 Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

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...

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...
