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...

Screams Ghostface Joins Among Us To celebrate the release of the new Scream film, official Ghostface cosmetics are being added to the popular video game Among Us. Scream's Ghostface is looking pretty sus right about now. To celebrate the release of the fifth entry in the Scream series of slasher films, official Ghostface cosmetics are being added to the popular multiplayer video game Among Us. The cosmetics were announced at the end of a YouTube video uploaded by Paramount Pictures, in which Scream stars Jack Quaid and Mason Gooding played Among Us with online personalities Chilled Chaos, 5up, TinaKitten and Kara Corvus. The brief announcement screen reveals that Among Us players will be able to unlock Ghostface's cloak and iconic mask in the near future.

Why Among Us Engineer Role Mod Is Great (But Bad For Impostors)

Why Among Us Engineer Role Mod Is Great (But Bad For Impostors) The Engineer role mod for Among Us can be very beneficial to crewmates, but Engineers are bad news for Impostors hoping for an easy win. Mods are being used in Among Us in a variety of ways. Typically, the social deduction game from InnerSloth boils down to crewmates who must perform tasks and Impostors who kill them. Along the way, crewmates try to figure out who the Impostor is and eject them from the game. However, mods can freshen up gameplay and add new mechanics. Since last year, a number of mods focusing on roles have been added to Among Us. Quite a few of these overpower Impostors by giving them abilities that make it easier to kill crewmates. However, some Among Us role mods - like Doctor and Sheriff - can help out crewmates. For instance, the Doctor can revive fallen allies and the Sheriff can shoot a player they believe to be an Impostor without having to call an Emergency Meeting. Likewise, the Engineer role is...

Among Us How to Win As A Crewmate (Tips Tricks & Strategies)

Among Us How to Win As A Crewmate (Tips Tricks & Strategies) While it should be easy to win Among Us as a Crewmate, players will find that isn't the case. Here are some tips to eject Impostors and win the game. Among Us has taken the gaming world by storm over the last few weeks, quickly becoming one of the most popular party games to play with friends. In the game, players are assigned a role as either a Crewmate or an Impostor. The Crewmates’ goal is to complete the assigned tasks on the spaceship and vote off all Impostors before the Impostors kill them. The Impostors’ goal is to sabotage the tasks and kill the Crewmates until their number is equal to the number of Impostors. Players have to lie to each other to avoid detection and will need to rely on word of mouth from other players to clear their name or discover who the Impostor is among them. While it seems like the Crewmates should have the advantage, as there are more of them than there are Impostors and it can be dif...

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 Ghosts Should Be Able To Haunt Imposters After Death

Among Us Ghosts Should Be Able To Haunt Imposters After Death While there a lot of things Among Us does very well, giving ghosts more abilities in the game would make the experience more fun and even more deep. In a very short time, Among Us has become one of the most popular games to play with friends. On the surface, the game is very simple, but it's the premise of deceiving a player's friends as an imposter or sniffing out the liar in the party which is so compelling and satisfying. This sort of gameplay lends itself to multiple replays over and over, and with a quality group of people, Among Us is a fantastic time to be had. Overall, Among Us isn't a very complicated game and it doesn't need to be. The way the game works lends itself to either short bursts or long sessions which makes it easy to jump into and out of quickly. However, despite the game's brilliant simplicity, it does have one minor oversight that could be interesting if fully realized. One of the ...

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...

How to Reset The Breakers in Among Us Airship Map

How to Reset The Breakers in Among Us Airship Map The Airship map in Among Us comes with several new tasks, including a new Electrical task to Reset Breakers. This puzzle leaves crewmates vulnerable. After months of anticipation, the Among Us Airship map has finally set sail, and, as promised, it is massive and jam-packed with over a dozen new tasks for crewmates and nine new locations for Impostors to pull off perfect kills. Many of the new Among Us Airship tasks are more involved than those on the original three maps, which will force crewmates to spend a little more time on them and make it more difficult for Impostors to fake them. Reset Breakers is a new task in Electrical on the Airship that could be considered a long task, though it takes place in a single location rather than in several across the map. In this task, players will need to pull a lever on a set of seven breakers in order of the numbers that appear at the top of the switch. Electrical on the Among Us Airship is a b...

Was Among Us’ Airship Map Worth The Wait

Was Among Us’ Airship Map Worth The Wait The Airship map has finally released in Among Us, adding new rooms, tasks, cosmetics, and more. But was the Airship actually worth the wait? A little over three months since it was announced at The Game Awards 2020, the Airship map has finally arrived in Among Us. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this new content, with excitement reaching a fever pitch in recent weeks. After all this time, though, was the Airship map actually worth the wait? It's been an exciting month for fans of the hit social deduction game. InnerSloth, the indie studio behind Among Us, revealed the Airship's release date a few weeks prior to its actual arrival. The day of release, many fans were left searching the studio's social media accounts to find out what time the Airship update was actually happening. Once the new map was live, though, users faced a number of download and server issues, which were most likely caused from the high volume of traffic coming to...

Among Us Player Imagines Marvel Character Skins In Fan Art

Among Us Player Imagines Marvel Character Skins In Fan Art Even Marvel characters look pretty sus in new fan art, as the Avengers and more have been reimagined in Among Us' low-detail art style. Fans of Marvel's superpowered universes and Among Us are in for a treat, as one imaginative fan has upgraded the game's humble crewmate by transforming them into Marvel superheroes and (and one fearsome villain) in new fan art. If InnerSloth and Disney ever decided to make these skins a reality, it'd be a crossover event to rival the best of them. Two years after its initial release, Among Us is dominating the gaming community. Everyone has jumped aboard the spaceship bandwagon, and not just streamers. Among Us has won legions of fans, with everyone from makeup artists to politicians to music video creators making content that revolves around the space-age murder mystery setting. The social deduction game has truly taken the internet by storm, with friends and strangers alike le...

League of Legends Arcane Appears In Among Us Through Cosmetic Cosmicube

League of Legends Arcane Appears In Among Us Through Cosmetic Cosmicube League of Legends’ Arcane appeared in Among Us through its first-ever cosmetic system: Cosmicube, in which players can unlock in-game vanity items. The League-of-Legends-and-Netflix series Arcane appeared in Among Us through the popular indie game's first-ever cosmetic system, Cosmicube.

Fortnite Announces Impostors an Among UsLike Game Mode

Fortnite Announces Impostors an Among UsLike Game Mode Fortnite's latest game mode tasks a pair of evil Impostors with eliminating a group of Agents and that sure does sound familiar, doesn't it? Fornite's latest game mode features deadly impostors trying to bring down the Imagined Order from within. Fornite "Impostors" will sound awfully familiar to anyone who played Among Us, the deception-based party game which exploded in popularity in 2020. A maximum of ten players will enter into The Bridge, the main map of the game mode. Of those players, eight Agents will need to maintain the facility while two Impostors try to destroy it by whatever means necessary... including assassination. Much like Among Us, Agents of the Imagined Order will need to maintain The Bridge by completing a variety of tasks. These include chores like "calibrating chests and llamas, repairing the Battle Bus, and delivering Storm reports for analysis." Agents who have fallen in batt...

Among Us Skeld Card Swipe Task Is Just As Annoying In RealLife Recreation

Among Us Skeld Card Swipe Task Is Just As Annoying In RealLife Recreation A creative Redditor has managed to recreate The Skeld card and card reader from Among Us in real life, showing off how the functioning machine works. A creative 3D printer owner has created a real-life version of the card swipe machine in Among Us, and it doesn't seem to work any more reliably than the in-game device. The surprise indie hit has become an internet sensation in recent weeks thanks to a sudden surge in popularity driven mainly by high-profile streamers playing the game. This has caused the 2018 release to become far more successful than it ever has before and has even led to developer InnerSloth canceling plans for a potential sequel to focus on the original game. The huge increase in popularity for Among Us has had effects other than simply boosting its player numbers. The title has become a lightning rod for fan art and inspired a number of impressive creations, such as a horror trailer based ...

Why You Cant Type In Among Us

Why You Cant Type In Among Us After a recent update in Among Us, some players are discovering they can no longer type in the game. Here's why it happens and how to fix it. The last major update for Among Us brought the Airship, the game's largest map ever, but the social deduction game has continued to get smaller updates since. Any time an update for Among Us releases, there are often bugs or other problems to smooth out. Sometimes, this means players discover they can't type in Among Us anymore - but there are often other explanations as well. Here's why it can look like Among Us removed chat features, and how to fix it. In addition to the Airship, developer InnerSloth has added in updates that include color changes, 15-player lobbies, and a revamped art style.

In fact, not being able to type in chat within the game often comes down...

When Among Us New Map is Coming

When Among Us New Map is Coming After exploding in popularity over the summer, Among Us is getting some new features, including additional language support and a new map. The hit social deception game Among Us will soon be adding a new map into the rotation of places where crew members can die horribly. The announcement came from developer InnerSloth, along with an image teasing a portion of the new locale. Although Among Us released in 2018, it didn't become a smash hit until 2020. Between a handful of Twitch streamers playing it on their channel and a desperate need from gamers of new ways to interact with friends during COVID lockdowns, Among Us catapulted into the limelight. It's sparked memes, fan art, and has even been used to encourage voting in the United States. The game became so suddenly popular that InnerSloth announced it was halting development on a sequel to Among Us so that it could focus on adding support and features to the original game. One of those new feat...

How to Install (& Play) The Sheriff Mod in Among Us

How to Install (& Play) The Sheriff Mod in Among Us The Sheriff mod in Among Us adds a new role for crewmates to help defend against Impostors. Players can install and use it, even on public servers. Many social deduction games similar to Among Us include roles for the citizen or crewmate players to help them take on their antagonists and sometimes prevent them from making kills. While developer Innersloth has yet to introduce roles in the base game, members of the Among Us community have taken it upon themselves to mod these roles into the game. Now, crewmates can be randomly assigned to be the ship's Doctor and revive dead players, Jester and foil both the crewmates' and the Impostors' hopes for winning, or Sheriff and kill the Impostors before they can kill the other crewmates. The Sheriff role has been played and demonstrated by popular streamers like DisguisedToast, Valkyrae, and Jacksepticeye, among others. The basic rules of the game stay the same, but the additi...

With the impending release for "Injustice 2" slated for May, fans of the series will be getting an added bonus: an "Injustice 2" comic. The "Injustice: Gods Among Us" comic launched originally as a video game tie-in, but surprisingly blossomed into one of the best alternate worlds for DC characters on the page yet. RELATED: Manslaughter of Steel: 15 Times Superman Killed Someone Initially written by Tom Taylor and drawn by Mike S. Miller, the series was full of deep moral conundrums, flashy fights and above all, heart-wrenching deaths. No hero held plot armor in "Injustice," making everyone (good or bad) fair game in the harsh new world under Superman's tyrannical rule.
