Among Us - Imposters

Roles are a gameplay mechanic in Among Us that are randomly selected or assigned under certain circumstances. Each role has different goals and abilities. Both the Impostor and Crewmate roles are displayed at the start of the game. However, the Ghost and Guardian Angel roles (if enabled) can only be obtained by being killed by an Impostor or being ejected. In rare cases, a player may be a Guardian Angel or Ghost at the start of the game; this is a bug that should be fixed soon. There are currently seven roles in Among Us: Crewmate, Impostor, Scientist, Wraith, Spectre, Shapeshifter, Engineer, Alert, Locator, Ghost, and Guardian Angel. Each role has different abilities, mechanics, and objectives to help win the game. Main article: Impostor The Impostors are enemies of the Crewmates, and their goal is to kill the Crewmates while avoiding being voted out. The Impostors win when at least half of the living players are Impostors or the countdown to a Critical Sabotage reaches zero.

In Hide and Seek game mode, the Impostor loses their ability to Sabotage and Vent in exchange for having only a 1-second cooldown to kill. Their objective is to kill all living crewmates before the round ends.

Scientist The Scientist is an additional crewmate-style role. Players with this role receive portable vitals for monitoring, accessible from anywhere on the map. However, portable vitals only last 5 seconds (adjustable in options), and to recharge, the scientist must complete a task or wait 20 seconds if they have completed all their tasks (adjustable in options). Scientists cannot use their portable vitals during communications sabotage.

Engineer Engineer The Engineer is an additional crewmate-style role. Players with this role have the ability to hide or travel through ducts and, as a result, cannot be killed while inside them. They can remain in the duct for 5 seconds (adjustable in options) and regain the ability to vent. The Engineer must complete a task or wait 20 seconds if they have completed all their tasks (adjustable in options). The Engineer cannot use the ducts during a communications sabotage.

Guardian Angel The Guardian Angel is an additional ghost-like role. Players with this role have the ability to protect living players from being killed, but only if they are crewmates, scientists, or engineers, have died, and the Guardian Angel role is enabled. The Guardian Angel can use protection on any living player for 30 seconds (adjustable in options) on a 60-second cooldown (adjustable in options). The Guardian Angel cannot use their protection during communications sabotage.

Ghost Ghosts are roles players acquire when they are killed or ejected. Their objective remains the same as when they are alive, as ghosts still win with their team. Ghost Crewmates can use their Haunted ability to observe dead players, and imposters can still sabotage. Whistleblower The Alerter is an additional crewmate-style role. Players with this role sound an alarm when they die, alerting all other players to the location of their death.

Locator The Locator is an additional crewmate-style role. Players with this role can place a tracker on any other crew member and track them on their minimap.

Detective: The detective is an additional crewmate-style role. They have a notebook that allows them to document information about a murder, such as the location of the body and the type of imposter suspected of killing the victim. By recording this information, they can question crewmates to determine their whereabouts at the time of the death. If someone was present at the same location as the death, they are identified as an imposter.

The imposters' goal is to kill as many Crewmates as possible without being discovered, using their extra abilities.

They have red names that can only be seen by themselves and other Impostors. It can kill, sabotage, and get into ventilation ducts.

Things it has in common with the Crew: You can send messages to other live players, vote to kick or expel other live players, and report other players during meetings. You can resolve sabotage and use the emergency button. You cannot see or chat with dead players

Crew member The crewmates' goal is to complete tasks while staying alive and discovering who the imposters are. The crewmates win once all their tasks are completed or no imposters remain alive in the game. You can send messages to other live players, vote to kick or expel other live players, and report other players during meetings. You can resolve sabotage and use the emergency button. You cannot see or chat with dead players Depending on their role, they have other skills

Serpent The Viper is an additional Impostor-style role. Players with this role can use the Acid ability to kill their crewmates. Bodies killed in this way will dissolve over time. Spectrum The Ghost is an additional Impostor-style role. Players with this role can temporarily become invisible. However, the ability to kill is disabled while invisible, although the Sabotage and Vent options remain available. Shapeshifter: They can mutate into other crewmates and/or imposters to kill, so that the person they mutated into will be blamed. The mutation lasts between 30 and 60 seconds (depending on the setting). When they mutate, the visual sign is that a capsule the color of the imposter forms, and this capsule breaks when they become the chosen person. When it breaks, it releases a faint trace of the mutation, which can be chosen in the game settings to be visible or not.

The Skeld, a colossal spaceship painted a bluish-gray, is divided into multiple rooms, each with a specific function. Two combustion engines, located at the rear, are powered by five thrusters positioned at their backs, which are in turn powered by a reactor located between them. The ship is fully equipped with two remotely controlled red energy cannons mounted in its upper right corner and two electrically powered shields in the lower right corner. Behind these shields, several communication antennas are visible, suggesting continuous communication with the destination. Notably, there is also a garbage compartment and a cafeteria. In addition, the ship houses an administration area, a sickbay, security systems, and a storage room. The Skeld's ownership is evident, as it is operated by the same crew members employed by MIRA. Furthermore, there appears to be a compartment within the ship where the landing craft can enter, as if it were an emergency escape pod.

In The Fungle trailer, The Skeld appears much larger than in the game. More of its exterior is revealed, showing a flat fuselage, painted gray and composed of several segmented plates. Two small wings, painted cobalt blue, adorn its sides, while its pointed nose stands out. The cockpit, located on top, is a small cockpit with several cage-like grilles. Here, Red pilots the ship using a small joystick similar to that of an airplane, while Blue operates the electronic systems as copilot. Below the ship is a compartment housing the landing craft, equipped with a surface scanning system.

The cafeteria is the ship's starting and meeting point on the map. It consists of five tables, an emergency button, three doors, a vent, and a camera at the exit. In practice, the Task Tester 2000 is present.

Tasks : Clean ventilation Download data (Stage 1) Empty the trash (Stage 1) Wiring repair (Stage 2 or 3) Sabotage: Door sabotage Arms The weapons are responsible for protecting the ship and consist of two outlets, a vent, and two cannons on the outside of the ship that can be controlled to fire lasers using a pair of controllers in the room.

Administration The administrator is responsible for crew management, which includes computers, an exit, a vent, a camera at the exit, and an administration desk. When oxygen runs out, crew members can resolve the issue by using the Administration and O2 keypads to enter a backup code.

Tasks: Clean ventilation Wiring repair (Stage 1, 2 or 3) Magnetic card Load data (step 2) Skills : Administration Sabotage: Oxygen depleted Electric The electrical department is responsible for the ship's electrical systems and networks, which consist of electronic components, numerous cables, a door, and a vent. Impostors can sabotage the room, causing the lights to go out. This can be remedied by using a light panel in the room to activate all the switches.

Tasks: Divert energy (Stage 1) Calibrate distributor Clean ventilation Download data (Stage 1) Wiring repair (stage 1) Sabotage: Door sabotage Fix lights

Lower motor The Lower Engine houses the spacecraft's south engine and consists of two doors and a vent. In Task Tester 2000, the Lower Engine and Upper Engine are combined into a file called "Engines".

Tasks: Accepting diverted power (Stage 2) Align the motor output (Stage 2 [or stage 1 in ehT dlekS ]) Clean ventilation Fuel Engines (Stage 2B) Sabotage: Door sabotage Reactor The reactor room houses the ship's reactor and consists of one exit and two vents. Impostors can sabotage the room, causing the reactor to melt down. The crew can resolve this by simultaneously placing their hands on two hand readers in the room, so at least two players are required.

Tasks: Clean ventilation Unlock manifolds Start reactor Sabotage: Reactor meltdown

Security Security is responsible for safety on the ship and consists of a door, a vent, and a monitor to monitor the cameras in the ship's corridors.

Tasks: Accepting diverted power (Stage 2) Clean ventilation Talent: Security Sabotage: Door sabotage Top motor The Upper Engine houses the spacecraft's north engine and consists of two doors and a vent. In Task Tester 2000, the Upper Engine and Lower Engine are combined into a file called "Engines".

Tasks: Accepting diverted power (Stage 2) Align the motor output (Stage 1 [or Stage 2 in ehT dlekS]) Clean ventilation Fuel Engines (Stage 1B) Sabotage: Door sabotage Medical bay MedBay is responsible for the ship's medical services for the crew, which consist of beds, a door, a ventilator, and a scanner.

Tasks: Clean ventilation Inspect sample Send scan Sabotage: Door sabotage Cameras At The Skeld, the cameras are CCTV cameras with a light on top, strategically placed in four corridors: the northwest, west, central, and east.

Doors In The Skeld, the doors are light gray and open 10 seconds after sabotage. The electrical, infirmary, and security areas have one door, the lower and upper engine areas have two, and the cafeteria and storage areas have three.

Ducts In The Skeld, the ventilation grilles are rounded rectangular grilles with five vertical slots in the middle and a screw hole in each corner.

The reactor's north vent and the upper engine vent are connected. The reactor's south vent and the lower engine vent are connected. The electrical, medical, and security ventilation grilles are interconnected. The ducts in Administration, Cafeteria and Hallway are linked. The North Vent in Navigation and the Vent in Weapons are connected. The south duct in Navigation and the vent in Shields are connected.

Administration Main article: Administrator (capacity) In The Skeld, the administrator skill is located on the table in the admin room. This skill allows players to manage other players' locations on the map.

Security Main article: Security (capacity) In The Skeld, the Security skill is located on the monitors in the Security room. This skill allows players to monitor the hallway cameras.

Sabotage Sabotaged communications Main article: Sabotaged communications In The Skeld, imposters can sabotage communications, which disables cameras, prevents certain abilities, hides the task list, and so on. Crewmates can resolve the communications sabotage by using a radio in the room to turn a dial until the radio frequency becomes clear.

Door sabotage Main article: Door sabotage In The Skeld, imposters can sabotage a room containing a door, causing a door sabotage that closes the door for 10 seconds before opening again.

Fix lights Main article: Repairing lights In The Skeld, imposters can sabotage the electricity, causing the lights to be fixed, which, without affecting imposters or ghosts, reduces the vision of living crewmates, who can resolve the sabotage in the electricity by using a panel in the room to activate each switch that is turned off.

Oxygen depleted Main article: Oxygen depleted In The Skeld, imposters can sabotage the oxygen supply, causing a loss of oxygen. This gives crewmates 30 seconds to resolve the issue before the imposters win. Crewmates can resolve the sabotage by accessing both the oxygen supply and Admin, using both keypads in the rooms, and entering and submitting a backup code.

Reactor meltdown Main article: Reactor meltdown In The Skeld, imposters can sabotage the reactor, causing a reactor meltdown. This gives crewmates 30 seconds to resolve the sabotage before the imposters win the game. Crewmates can resolve the sabotage by going to the reactor, using both hand readers in the room, and holding them down simultaneously. This means that at least two players are required.

Trivia There are four visual tasks in total in The Skeld. Crew members can prove their innocence by completing them in front of other crew members if the host enables the visual effects in the game options before the game begins.

The Skeld Common tasks : Fix the wiring • Magnetic card Short tasks Calibrate distributor • Plot heading • Clean O2 filter • Clean vent • Clear asteroids • Divert power • Prime shields • Stabilize heading • Unlock manifolds • Load data Long tasks Align engine outlet • Empty trash • Fuel engines • Inspect sample • Start reactor • Send scan

Tasks are one of the main objectives for crewmates in Among Us. If all crewmates, including ghosts and special roles, complete their tasks, they automatically win the game. Tasks are scattered throughout the map. Impostors cannot complete them, but they receive a list of fake tasks to help them.

There are three different types of tasks:

Short tasks They often require only one stage and take very little time to complete depending on the player's speed, such as Chart Course and Clean Vent. Long tasks They usually have several stages or force the player to spend a lot of time, such as Starting Reactor. Common tasks Common tasks are assigned to each player in a game if the host has set one or more common tasks in the game settings. For example, if one player has the Swipe Card, everyone else has it. Conversely, if a crewmate doesn't have the Swipe Card, no other player has the task. Common tasks are an easy way to identify imposters, because if a crewmate sees someone performing a common task they don't have, they can confirm that the other player is an impostor. Crewmates should know what the common tasks are before using the emergency button and ruining a meeting. The number of short tasks, long tasks, and common tasks can be adjusted in the game options.

In a player's task list, common tasks are listed first, followed by long and short tasks at the end. This also applies to lists automatically generated in Practice, but not when a player edits their Practice tasks.

Only ghost crew

He cannot be killed by imposters. They can still do their homework

Only impostor ghosts

You can't kill yourself or go into the ventilation shaft They can sabotage

Types of deaths: Being killed by an Impostor or being ejected. (The only way to kill an Impostor is to be ejected.)

You always have access to the chat and only send messages to other ghosts. It can move through collisions. You can see other ghosts You cannot be expelled Sabotage cannot be resolved and the emergency button used. Ladders, moving platforms and zip lines are not allowed. You cannot vote to eject or expel other living players, nor can you report other players during meetings. They increase the speed To have unlimited and unobstructed vision

GG: Usually said after a game, it means "Good game" or "Well played" Kr: stands for Kill report, kr basically means having killed and reported being the one who killed him sus: To suspect, it is normally used like this "sus de (tal persona)" Cf: abbreviation of (C)ambia(F)forms Kick: To eject a player Elect: Electricity Admin: Administration, management Nav: Navigation Medbay: Medical Area Cameras: Security Comu: communications room XD: a laughing face with closed eyes :V : a reference to Pacman, a yellow circle with eyes and a mouth shaped like a short B Idk: abbreviation for "I Don't Know" Serpie: misspelled serpent Bronze: Tan color Dnd: It means "Where" and is used when reporting a body, to ask where the person died. Inge: Abbreviation for Engineer

time inside duct: 10s Door sabotage time: 10s Oxygen Sabotage Time: 30s Reactor Sabotage Time: 35s Electrical Sabotage Time: Infinite, the sabotage will last until someone fixes it.

Roles: crew members Engineer: 3, probability: 70% Detectives: 1, probability: 60% Alerter: 3, probability: 70% Scientist: 2, probability: 90% Guardian Angel: 4, probability: 100% Locator: 4, probability: 80%

Roles: Impostor Serpent: 1, probability: 90% Shapeshifter: 1, probability: 90% Spectrum: 1, probability: 90%

Any sabotage other than that affecting electricity, doors, and communication, if not fixed before time runs out, will automatically result in the crewmates dying and the imposters winning.

The living characters are depicted as short, rounded, astronaut-like creatures wearing multicolored spacesuits. They lack arms, have short legs, and their suits conceal their internal anatomy. Instead of a visible face, they express themselves through a blue glass visor resembling a cyclopean eye. A small, rectangular package is also mounted on the back of the suit. Occasionally, players may appear to have floating, four-fingered hands during certain animations, such as when being killed by an Impostor or when climbing a ladder. Conversely, the Reactor Fusion interface shows a five-fingered hand being scanned. Impostors resemble Crewmates but can open their bellies, revealing a large mouth with numerous sharp teeth and a thin, sharp tongue, as seen in the Friends List trailer and one of the death animations.

When a player is eliminated in normal gameplay, they transform into a ghost. Ghosts are identical to living characters, except for the presence of a translucent, ghostly tail instead of legs. The selected appearance is not visible beneath the character.

If a player is a Crewmate, all characters will have their names displayed in white above their heads. However, if they are an Impostor, they will see the names of the other Impostors (and their own) in red.

When an Impostor kills a Crewmate, they leave behind a decapitated corpse, which appears as the lower half of the body lying down with a single bone sticking out.

They are used to being called by their color instead of their names; it's easier to say the color than the names.
