With tons of new players jumping into their spacesuits for InnerSloth\u2019s hit game, we thought it would be a good idea to give players some tips on what not to do<\/strong> when playing Among Us.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive, and updates to the game could alter how people play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, here are 10 things you should never do in Among Us<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cheat<\/li>\n
  2. Travel alone<\/li>\n
  3. Make assumptions<\/li>\n
  4. Quit mid-game<\/li>\n
  5. Fake tasks as crewmate<\/li>\n
  6. Vote without reason<\/li>\n
  7. Accuse without reason<\/li>\n
  8. Ignore a dead body<\/li>\n
  9. Skip tasks<\/li>\n
  10. Call meetings without reason<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don\u2019t cheat<\/h2>\n

    Many players, especially those on PC, will take advantage of other programs like Discord<\/strong> to communicate and play with friends. The problem is that as soon as one of them is killed, everyone knows who the Impostor is. This aspect kills all of the fun.<\/p>\n

    Play in the spirit of the game<\/strong>. If you get taken out, don\u2019t ruin the fun for your crewmates. Laugh as they get taken out, oblivious to the killer. Enjoy the ride. The game should be exciting and nerve-wracking, but you eliminate that enjoyment if you use voice chat to cheese the game.<\/p>\n

    It goes without saying, but don\u2019t use hacks<\/strong> to alter how the game plays. Some cheats allow players always to be the Impostor, or to take control of other crewmates. Keep an eye out for these, and kick those players if you can; they tend to ruin the experience.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t travel alone<\/h2>\n

    As a crewmate, you\u2019ll often find that it\u2019s not easy to get tasks done if you\u2019re following somebody else. While you might be tempted to zip off to prime the shields on The Skeld or tend to the plants in the greenhouse on Mira HQ, it\u2019s best if you stick with someone<\/strong>. Ensure they\u2019re doing tasks, and take the time to do a job if they end up in a room where you need to be.<\/p>\n

    Traveling alone doesn\u2019t just make you a target for the Impostor; it also calls your alibi into question if a body gets found. Travel with a partner<\/strong>, and then check to see who has and hasn\u2019t finished their tasks when the meetings come up. Let people know if you\u2019re finished so you can escort them, or if you still need to do jobs so they can accompany you.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t make assumptions<\/h2>\n

    It\u2019s easy to go along with the crowd and vote out a player<\/strong>; the problem is that this isn\u2019t usually good for the crew. Impostors like to sit back and wait for the team to eat itself up. If you\u2019re busy making assumptions, that usually works in the killer\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

    When you assume a player is telling the truth or lying, you almost play into the hand of the Impostor. If it\u2019s a confused crewmate, you\u2019re buying into a falsehood that could lead to a crewmate being ejected. If it\u2019s the Impostor themselves, you\u2019re trusting the one player you actually shouldn\u2019t trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Please don\u2019t believe anything until you see it for yourself. You should verify the information before acting on it and always present evidence with the crew\u2019s best interests in mind.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t quit mid-game<\/h2>\n

    This element is a common thing we see when we play Among Us. Someone will make a false accusation<\/strong> and then quit, or players leave the game for one reason or another. It\u2019s frustrating, making it hard to find quality lobbies to play in for extended periods.<\/p>\n

    While server issues do crop up, always avoid voluntarily leaving<\/strong> in the middle of a game.<\/p>\n

    When you do that, you pull the balance in favor of the Impostor<\/strong>; there\u2019s one less crewmate to worry about now and fewer people to do tasks. Don\u2019t leave your crew shorthanded and always see a game through to the end, if you can help it.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t fake tasks as a crewmate<\/h2>\n

    While it may be tempting to fake specific tasks (especially visual ones), you can\u2019t lose credibility with your crew. You\u2019re supposed to be on the same side, so you have to be honest with them<\/strong>. Once they realize you lied, a couple of things happen: firstly, you lose credibility, and secondly, you\u2019re now a suspect.<\/p>\n

    If you didn\u2019t get to a task or aren\u2019t immune, don\u2019t lie to suggest that you should be<\/strong>. You\u2019re only making it harder on your team and easier for the Impostor. Your default mode should be honesty. If you plan on sticking around on the server, you also want to build up that kind of credibility when you\u2019re the Impostor; it makes your lies more believable.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t vote without reason<\/h2>\n

    While it\u2019s tempting to try and get the Impostor as quickly as possible, good Impostors will turn that energy against the crew at the first chance they get. Voting in a frenzy is a bit like shooting a machine gun at a fly. You probably won\u2019t hit the target, and now you\u2019ve made matters worse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    If you vote off a crewmate, that\u2019s one step closer to victory for the Impostor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This behavior tends to spiral; fewer crewmates remaining means the team is more desperate to find the Impostor<\/strong>. That makes it easier for the killer to pin it on somebody else.<\/p>\n

    Keep your wits about you and don\u2019t rush to judgment<\/strong>. There\u2019s a \u2018skip\u2019 button for voting if you need it, so be sure to use it instead of ejecting the innocent.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t accuse without reason<\/h2>\n

    Don\u2019t make accusations<\/strong> that you can\u2019t back up. You\u2019ll get two people ejected if you\u2019re wrong: the person you\u2019re accusing and then yourself.<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s a pretty obvious behavior emerging among players. If one accuses another, they\u2019ll eject the accused<\/strong>. If that player isn\u2019t the Impostor, they\u2019ll remove the accuser.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s two crewmates down, and the Impostor didn\u2019t have to kill either of them. Don\u2019t make the Impostor\u2019s job any easier<\/strong>. Be measured, be responsive, and get hard evidence.<\/p>\n

    Never ignore a dead body<\/h2>\n

    If you find someone dead, report it immediately<\/strong>. You need to get the facts and testimony from everyone while it\u2019s fresh in their mind. The longer the game goes on, the muddier the information gets. You need to report it as soon as you see it, so the Impostor doesn\u2019t have a chance to kill again in the same round.<\/p>\n

    You also don\u2019t want to be seen leaving the area where the body is<\/strong>, for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t skip tasks<\/h2>\n

    One of the two ways the crew can win is if everyone gets their tasks done. If you take too long to do this, you\u2019re putting your team at risk of losing<\/strong>. Get your tasks done, then keep moving.<\/p>\n

    Even if you die, you can still move around the ship and get work done while you\u2019re a ghost; in fact, it\u2019s usually easier this way. You\u2019re not restricted by walls or visibility anymore<\/strong>, and you don\u2019t have to worry about being murdered by the Impostor since you\u2019re already dead.<\/p>\n

    As a Ghost, your only job is to finish up your tasks<\/strong>. Make sure you continue to help out your crew, even in death.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t call meetings without reason<\/h2>\n

    Emergency meetings are a useful tool for the crew to get information<\/strong> without reporting a body. You can use emergency meetings to bring forth any evidence against a player. The problem is, it can be abused, too.<\/p>\n

    Emergency meetings will interrupt player tasks<\/strong> and bring everyone back to the cafeteria. Not only that, but players only get a limited number of these. You can\u2019t afford to waste them. Stay smart and only call a meeting when it\u2019s absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n
