Struggling to get wins in Among Us? Here are five ways you can improve your chances of winning!

1. The Crisis! 

If you’re a crewmate, don’t let the imposters win by doing anything. Fixing the sabotage means that you can use the Emergency Meeting Button, which can change the tide of a round. Even if you are far away from the crisis, you might find a body on your way there. If you’re an imposter, use the sabotage as a way of directing players around the map. The longer a body isn’t found, the better off you and your imposter friend are.

2. Tasks

You only have two win conditions as a crewmate. One is voting off both imposters. The second is having everyone complete their tasks. People can vouch for you if they see you doing tasks. Also getting tasks done puts pressure on the imposters to make a move so that the round doesn’t end. If you’re an imposter, the list of fake tasks you’re given is just a suggestion. You can fake whatever task you want. Just try and remember how long the task you’re faking usually takes. Otherwise, you’ll look suspicious.

3. Ghosts Still Have Work to Do!

No one wants to wait on a ghost to finish their tasks. Even if you get killed or voted off, you can still give your team a chance by getting your task done. If you’re an imposter ghost, only sabotage doors. Leave the major sabotages to the imposter still alive so that they can utilize it whenever they need. 

4. Admin

Admin helps you keep track of where everyone is by showing you how many people are in one room. Try and remember how many heads you see on the map and when discussion time comes around, you might be able to catch someone in a lie. It’s also important to note that dead bodies do register as people on the scanner. If you’re an imposter, this can be useful for figuring out who to target.

5. Kill Cooldown!

Make note of how long the kill cooldown is in your lobby. By doing this, you can estimate how recent a kill was. It’s also important to note that an imposter’s kill cooldown stops when they are using something such as an admin table or a vent
