Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play Among Us, whether you’re a beginner or just need a refresher:
1. Understand the Basics
– Objective:
– Crewmates: Complete all tasks or identify and vote out all Impostors.
– Impostors: Sabotage the ship and eliminate Crewmates without getting caught.
– Players: Typically 4-10 players, with 1-3 Impostors depending on settings.
2. Game Setup
– Choose a Map: There are three maps: The Skeld (spaceship), MIRA HQ (space station), and Polus (planet base).
– Set Roles: The game randomly assigns roles (Crewmate or Impostor).
– Adjust Settings: Customize game settings like player speed, kill cooldown, task quantity, and discussion time.
3. How to Play as a Crewmate
– Complete Tasks:
– Tasks are mini-games like fixing wiring, swiping cards, or downloading data.
– Check the taskbar to track progress.
– Stay Alert:
– Watch for suspicious behavior or players venting (only Impostors can use vents).
– Report dead bodies by pressing the “Report” button.
– Call Emergency Meetings:
– Use the emergency button to discuss suspicious activity.
– Vote Wisely:
– During meetings, discuss and vote out players you think are Impostors.
4. How to Play as an Impostor
– Sabotage:
– Sabotage systems like lights, oxygen, or reactors to create chaos and distract Crewmates.
– Kill Crewmates:
– Use the “Kill” button to eliminate Crewmates when no one is around.
– Be mindful of the kill cooldown timer.
– Use Vents:
– Quickly move around the map using vents to avoid being seen.
– Blend In:
– Pretend to do tasks or act like a Crewmate to avoid suspicion.
– Lie and Manipulate:
– During meetings, defend yourself and accuse others to shift blame.
5. Emergency Meetings and Voting
– Discuss:
– Share information, alibis, and suspicions in the chat.
– Use phrases like “I saw [player] vent” or “I was with [player].”
– Vote:
– Vote to eject a player you think is the Impostor.
– You can also skip voting if unsure.
– Outcome:
– If a Crewmate is voted out, the game continues.
– If an Impostor is voted out, Crewmates are closer to winning.
6. Winning the Game
– Crewmates Win:
– Complete all tasks before the Impostors eliminate enough players.
– Vote out all Impostors.
– Impostors Win:
– Eliminate enough Crewmates so the number of Impostors equals Crewmates.
– Sabotage critical systems and let the timer run out.
7. Tips for Success
– As a Crewmate:
– Stick with others to reduce the risk of being killed.
– Pay attention to player movements and behaviors.
– Use the security cameras or admin map to monitor activity.
– As an Impostor:
– Fake tasks in areas where others can see you.
– Use sabotage strategically to split up Crewmates.
– Stay calm during meetings and avoid over-explaining.
8. Communication is Key
– Use Chat Wisely: Be clear and concise during discussions.
– Pay Attention: Listen to others’ alibis and look for inconsistencies.
– Accuse Carefully: Only accuse if you have solid evidence or a strong suspicion.
By following these steps and practicing, you’ll quickly become a pro at Among Us! Whether you’re a Crewmate or an Impostor, the key is to stay sharp, communicate effectively, and have fun! 🚀👾
