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 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?

Among Us Why Impostors Win More Than Crewmates

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 odds for the Crewmates, developers at InnerSloth have revealed that, more often than not, it is the Impostors in Among Us who end up winning. Why are the Impostors winning more than Crewmates in Among Us, and what can be done to stop that?

Impostors have more abilities than Crewmates in Among Us, and they also possess the game's only offensive action - the ability to instantly kill other players. While Crewmates can't technically kill the Impostors in Among Us themselves, they can vote during Emergency Meetings to banish the Impostor from the group, an action which usually results in the Impostor's death. Crewmates can toss Impostors out of airlocks, push them into lava pits, and drop them from high-rise research stations onto the ground below. Crewmates in Among Us may have less offensive attacks than the Impostors, but they also have plenty of chances to save themselves - so why don't they win more often?

Among Us' Crewmates Destroy Themselves

Among Us Why Impostors Win More Than Crewmates

Unfortunately, this all comes down to the way people interact with each other. Among Us players are forced to debate before being allowed to vote a potential Impostor off, and the combination of people lying in order to not appear "sus" and players who are simply new to the game and confused by the rules or tasks can throw off a conversation quickly. Impostors in Among Us have gotten very good at stack kills (a method of killing another player within a large group so no one knows who performed the murder) and self-reporting (killing a Crewmate in Among Us and then instantly reporting the body before anyone else can find it), and both of these actions not only reduces the total Crewmate body count but also sows mistrust among players who were working together to complete tasks only seconds before.

Another reason Impostors win more than Crewmates in Among Us is that players tend to want to be the Impostor more often, leading to many games where players who get assigned the role of Crewmate simply disconnect at the start and open up a new lobby in order to try again. Because so many people want to be the Impostor in Among Us all the time, total Crewmate rosters are rarely filled up, as at least one or two random players will usually disconnect when a game starts. If that particular Among Us game has a full roster of seven Crewmates and three Impostors, and then two of the Crewmates bail immediately, its hard to think of a way the remaining Crewmates could have a fighting chance.

Among Us' Impostors win more often because people have a tendency to argue and mistrust, and also because too many players disconnect early or don't do the tasks they are assigned to. If Among Us players who prefer the Crewmate role want to get their numbers up, they need to start acting smarter. Move only in groups of three or four, where there is always at least one witness, and try to be as clear and concise as possible when talking in Emergency Meetings. Don't disconnect early and leave fellow Crewmates stranded, and don't do things like call an Emergency Meeting just to say "What's up" to everyone, because there's no faster way to get a Crewmate to purposefully vote off another Crewmate than that. If Among Us' Crewmates tighten up their game, maybe the Impostors will be the ones with the losing streak next time InnerSloth releases player stats.

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...

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...
