The game Among Us has become the sensation of the season. And it is that, although it is really simple, its subplots and tensions make looking for the impostor the real fun. Of course it is not always easy. Especially if that impostor knows how to lie, and follows these tricks and strategies that we propose here. Formulas that will help you hide all the sabotage and intricacies that will make you win games with minimal effort. Do you know them all?
Among Us, this is the new trending game on Twitch and YouTube
Watch out for the cameras
It's one of the mistakes that all newcomers make: murder in the video-monitored corridors You may not have realized it yet, but the The ship's surveillance cameras, in addition to other maps, have little lights that indicate whether they are in use or not. So, as an impostor, in addition to being vigilant that no one sees you commit a murder, you also want to check that the cameras are not in use.
Our recommendation is that don't even kill in the corridors with cameras The most expert players not only keep an eye on what happens in these corridors, they they also control who goes and who comes. Therefore, it is best to wait at the entrance of one of these spaces and always watch that the cameras are off before betraying your crew.If no one sees you, no one will know it was you.
Make you the new one
There is a particularly fun tactic that works very well during these first few weeks of Among Us stardom: make yourself the new one Or pretend that You don't know what the rules of the game are. In this way you can lie to the rest of the crew and make them believe that someone is the impostor when in reality you are. As? In a very simple way.
You can use comments in voting type: I'm new. How do I use the sewers like “purple” does? Or something less subtle like: I've seen “yellow” kill “green”, but I don't know how voting works. Of course, keep in mind that you will not be able to maintain this strategy for a long time. Especially if your server finds out that you are the imposter by winning the game after you have accused others.
Never sit still
If you've ever been an impostor, you'll already have noticed that the interface for doing evil (sabotage, assassination, and various interactions) isn't particularly fast or comfortable. Especially if you are new to going against the rest of the crew. Well, it can be a key to unmask yourself. So we recommend that you follow some basic steps around the idea of never sit still
Learn the position of the sabotage buttons, the map and other details to waste little time interacting with them. Don't stop in the middle of nowhere either. Ideally, pretend to do some task and take advantage of a few seconds in front of a panel or lever to open the map and do evil things. This way no one will suspect. Do not stay still in corners or in the middle of a corridor. It's the most suspicious thing you can do.
The security room, the perfect environment
The surveillance room has its strengths and weaknesses for both crew members and impostors. That's why you have to know how to get the most out of it. The best way to do it as an impostor? Lying about what he's doing there. Pretend to look through cameras for the bad guy while some unwary crewman gets you alone It's a cheap shot, but no one is a kind impostor.
Put yourself on the monitor and even look through the cameras to keep an eye on who's coming into the surveillance room down the hall. This way you will know if he comes alone or accompanied. When he enters the room, stop using the camera and don't move to make it look like you're still using it. That crew member will see on the screen and will not realize that you are approaching to assassinate himIf you are skilled enough you can even create more complex strategies and assassinate several people in one turn while they watch the cameras. Remember that you can always lock the doors of the room to keep the victims trapped for a while. Do it quickly and cleanly so no one catches you.
The less conspicuous you are, the better
And this is not only that you avoid chasing a person until you finish him off, or that you don't stop in the middle of a corridor. There is also a lot to do at voting times, through chat. And it is that, if you position yourself to accuse a member of the crew, it may be suspicious. It is better that you participate as little as possible. Do not launch accusations unless you have a previous strategy against some player so that everyone believes you. And also do not try to defend yourself tooth and nail if everyone or any player says that the impostor is you. You must adapt to each situation and conversation
If you are accused you can always use the excuse that you are new or turn the situation around and say that the person accusing you is the impostor and wants to get you out of the way. In the rest of the conversations, behave like one of the others. Do not make a fuss about popular accusations or signs without providing evidence. And of course don't stay completely silent either. A good way to remain inconspicuous is to text “???” when a vote starts to pretend you haven't heard what happened but are active in the game. Only if others do it better than you will you end up singled out. If not, you might save the vote and avoid being expelled.
Be careful, keep in mind that these strategies are specific. If you have a modus operandi that is too clear, chances are that someone will eventually detect you. So do not hesitate to change your server to meet new opponents and use some of these techniques againIt is the best way to put them into practice and learn many others when it comes to getting rid of the accusations. Remember that the faster you are as an impostor, the better chance you have of winning the game and creating confusion. But don't make mistakes.
