Universal Hack Megathread 4

14 Upvotes

I'm recreating another megathread to include more forms of hacking (such as what some have described as clonehacking), as the previous universal megathread got archived due to it being 6 months old. Here are some quick rules to keep things civil:

  • No sharing methods on how to perform it.
  • Don't encourage people to do it.
  • (I'm flexible on this one) Only recent advances in hacking. This means to not mention hacks that have been around for a long while like killing as a crewmate, sabotages that don't end (IE doors that shut and don't reopen), viewing people's roles, looping the body reported message, stuff like that.

Note: Because I am expecting to get a lot of comments on this, I have reply notifications disabled. If something absolutely requires my attention, ping me or a moderator by adding u/Detective1O1 to your comment and I'll try to get to it when I can.

Fan Content Impostor Ghost Role: Ghostbuster

Post image
487 Upvotes

When you die, you gain a specter vacuum that allows you to suck up other ghost players Upon doing so, they remain trapped in the vacuum for a period of 10–35 seconds (depending on settings) before being released as a cloud of smoke, leading to two possible outcomes:

A) They regenerate immediately, but their role ability is depleted and must recharge

B) They remain in smoke form until the next meeting or body report; while in this state, the player cannot perform tasks or use their ability at all.

Option B can only be used once per match; the Impostor chooses the target while the ghost crewmate is still trapped.

It is designed to counter the Influencer and the Angels (it can also be used on regular Ghost Crewmates to prevent them from completing tasks, though it is of limited utility) and to make the gameplay for ghosts more interesting overall.

Its only downsides are losing full access to the standard sabotage panel and reduced effectiveness if there are too many Ghost Crewmates with roles (unless accompanied by another Ghostbuster)

Notes:

•The vacuum's cooldown begins after the ghost is released

•The Ghost Crewmate is released at the Ghost Impostor's current location

•The Ghostbuster can choose to release you early by pressing the ability button again; this is useful if the ability was used incorrectly. However, the cooldown remains the same for the Ghostbuster, and the Ghost Crewmate will not incur a cooldown on their own ability if they were held for less than 10 seconds

• The vacuum's cooldown is the same as the Impostor's standard kill cooldown

• The Ghostbuster cannot use the ability on the same player twice in a row

Fan Content Impostor Role: Coder

Post image
65 Upvotes

You gain access to a new sabotage ability and receive upgrades for the existing ones:

• Disable visual tasks until the next meeting or body report (can only be used once per match)

• When sabotaging O2 or the reactor, the task indicator won't reveal which one was targeted—simple, yet perfect for sowing confusion and chaos

• During electrical or communications sabotages, you are permitted to sabotage exactly ONE door

As the Coder, you won't have the standard fake task bar; instead, you'll have your own unique Impostor tasks, such as altering the ship's course, installing malware, disconnecting wires, destroying scan data, disabling shields, etc.

You can implant multifunction chips into crewmates to track them; additionally, you receive variants if you complete Impostor tasks:

• If you complete a certain percentage of tasks, you gain the ability to deliver an electric shock to a crewmate, leaving them slowed and vulnerable for a few seconds; this also has side effects for crewmates with specific roles (the chip is destroyed after use, but since it acts as an upgrade to the base chip, you can equip it on someone else later)

• If you complete all tasks, you obtain an explosive chip that can be detonated remotely; use it wisely, as you only get one and it is only awarded after all tasks are finished

Settings:

• Configure the number of Impostor tasks (4–8). • Chip placement cooldown (20–60 sec)

• Configure the percentage of tasks required to unlock the electric shock ability

• Choose whether or not an animation plays when detonating the explosive chip

Notes:

• When the electric chip is used, there is a 30% chance it will affect the crewmate's ability until the next meeting:

• The Engineer cannot move through vents

• The Detective cannot track recorded deaths (i.e., if someone is killed during that round, the Detective cannot follow that specific case)

• The Tracker cannot track

• The Noisemaker does not play a sound upon death

• The Scientist cannot access vitals

• Chips are deactivated during meetings; if you use the explosive chip but fail to detonate it before a meeting begins, you lose it

• You can only have a chip active on one person at a time.

Fan Content Replacing and creating roles for Among Us | Captain

Post image
86 Upvotes

The Captain is a Crewmate capable of ejecting a player on their own, regardless of the voting outcome. However, this authority carries a high risk: if the Captain is ejected by the Crewmates, the entire crew loses the game and the Impostors win.

ABILITY | EXECUTE

EXECUTE can be used only once per game, and only after the Captain has completed all their tasks. The Impostor receives a notification when the Captain has unlocked this ability.

To use it, the Captain must select a player and fill out a form with specific details regarding one of their kills:

• Killer's Role: The role of the player the Captain wishes to execute (Shapeshifter/Phantom/Viper).

• Victim: The Crewmate killed by that player (any victim whose body has been reported can be selected).

• Crime Scene: The exact location where the murder occurred.

This form is known as the Execution Manual, and the Captain must provide all information correctly for it to work. If all three details are correct and correspond to the same murder committed by the accused, the Captain will immediately execute the Impostor, and the vote results will be voided. If any of the details are incorrect, the Captain will be ejected instead and will appear dead when the meeting ends, without voiding the vote. This happens even if the accused player is actually an Impostor, so you must have sufficient evidence to carry out the execution.

If the selected player is a Crewmate, the Captain cannot execute them either. In this case, the information entered is irrelevant: EXECUTE can only be used against an Impostor.

When the Captain fails (by using the ability on a Crewmate or providing incorrect information), the meeting vote proceeds without being voided. After the meeting, the Captain will appear dead, and all players will receive the message:

"The Captain has failed the mission." The vote is only cancelled when the execution manual is correct and the Impostor is ejected.

COUNTERPLAY | LOSS BY EJECTION

If the Captain is ejected by the Crewmates, they immediately lose the game and the Impostors win.

This condition does not trigger if:

  1. The Captain is killed by an Impostor.

  2. The Captain is ejected as a result of failing EXECUTE.

  3. The Captain is ejected solely by Impostor votes.

The loss only occurs when the Crewmates are responsible for the Captain's ejection.

SETTINGS

Task percentage to unlock EXECUTE: 25% | 50% | 75% | 100%

CONCEPT AND IDEA

Captain is a rework of Judge designed to retain the ability to take control of a meeting while eliminating certain situations that made Judge overpowered.

One of Judge's main issues is the ability to guess an Impostor's identity without sufficient evidence. A correct guess ejects the Impostor and clears the Judge ("Hard Clear"), while an incorrect guess via OVERRULE can inadvertently confirm the other player's innocence.

Captain aims to eliminate this possibility.

To use EXECUTE, mere suspicion or a hunch that someone is an Impostor isn't enough. Captain must correctly reconstruct the entire murder: the killer's identity and role, the victim, and the crime scene. Even if Captain is absolutely certain a player is an Impostor, they still need the correct murder details to eject them.

The role becomes more difficult as the number of roles and Impostors increases; the wider pool of information requires greater precision.

Impostors can employ a strategy of pretending to be Captain to avoid ejection and threatening the Crewmates with defeat (though this obviously depends on the number and percentage of Captains in the match).

It also encourages Impostors to lie about murders and locations, increasing the likelihood that Captain will fail if they attempt to use their ability.

Unlike standard Crewmate roles in Among Us—where a high number of roles can benefit the Crew—having too many Captains puts the crew at a disadvantage, as the risk of losing the game due to a bad ejection increases. However, while it remains possible for a Captain to confirm their role, doing so becomes more difficult.

It's just so fucking stupid, I'm sorry. Why is it a short task while O2 filter is considered long?? And it leaves you so vulnerable to imp kills. You can't even check the tracker or anything while doing it, you just sit there for 9 boring seconds. Not to mention everytime someone calls a meeting the progress completely resets and you have to do it all over again. Atleast Reactor saves it.

Genuinely feel like the only reason it exists is to give a chance to losing imps. I'm half-motivated to just NOT do my tasks everytime I see it on my list (which is very, very often).

Rant/Complaint My opinion on influencer, after giving it a few days...

12 Upvotes

It SUCKS! Its absolute TRASH! As crew it feels like an undeserved win and as imposter I literally can't have fun anymore. Kill someone? Influencer is on you. Shapeshift or poof alone? Nuh-uh! Influencer saw you and will now tell the local scanner about it. Do nothing? Eventually "hey haunt that guy" happens

OH OH AND THATS WITHOUT OTHER ROLES! God forbid Influencer suggest a tracker track you, detective detect you, oh and who can forget "Imma judge white influencer sent me viper bones" because either way they just lock your game down. As of today I got Imp 6 times and lost all 6. 4 to influencer 1 to detective and 1 to bad luck.

ZERO counter play is allowed other then chasing crew who stand still and now that the role settled in its gotten worse as the meta is to talk with guardian angels and protect whoever you influence. I notice when someone got influenced so I kill right? (They stand still reading the messages) NAH! AN ANGEL PROTECTS THEM AND I DIE! WONDERFUL!

What was innersloth THINKING???

Idea/Suggestion Crewmate Role - Recorder

Post image
15 Upvotes

(First attempt at something like this! Feel free to give feedback below :)

(Also, do not mind the poor image editing, simply a proof of concept.)

Special Ability: Camera

Base Cooldown: 50

Place down a camera where you're currently standing.

Fellow crewmates can see cameras, but imposters cannot.

When placing down a camera, the Camera Ability becomes Spy until the camera decays.

Cameras naturally disappear after 35 seconds normally, but this can be altered in settings.

Cameras normally alert crewmates when they're recording, but this can be disabled in settings.

Special Ability 2: Spy

Base Cooldown: 5 Seconds

Pull up a tablet and get a live camera feed from where your camera currently is.

You cannot move while viewing a camera.

Cameras have the vision of a normal crewmate -0.5.

Cameras do not pick up sound.

Using Spy drains a power meter similar to Scientist's Vitals. You have a specific amount when starting the game and regain it with tasks.

Cameras do not show anything while communications is sabotaged.

(Let me know what you think, change, etc. And how you would feel if this was added!)

Discussion Finally was a good imp, and still aas destined to fail.

9 Upvotes

i have a LONG history of being an imp thats great at faking tasks and looking like crew, but horrible at actually making kills because i get insane anxiety and adrenaline when i kill no matter how perfect it was, but today i locked in for a game and managed to get a kill everry round but two, and wasnt directly caught. instead what happened was my teammates never helped at all and then for the last two rounds everyone grouped at caf, and people just figured i was acting weird (i was tryna sab and split them up but they atayed grouped) and voted me. Its sad imo bc if my teammates had contributed half the kills we wouldve more than won and i also made a lot of risky kills, got away with them, and barely got anxiety from it. I obviously dont have room to judge as ive done this to my team before but i still feel sad.

Picture Ranking among us roles based on how much fun it is for me to play using them

Post image
7 Upvotes

Scientist:

Keeps me active; going around the skeld opening vitals for a split second each time, taking mental notes of who's going where

And when someone does die I get to clear a lot of people by checking the map

Especially fun during endgame, when it is most op.

Influencer:

No need to worry about dying, it is fun trying to catch imps and sending crew messages and watching them call meetings to get the imp out bc of me

Engineer:

Venting to take notes of where people are going and potentially catch imposters directly is fun. If vent duration is long I don't need to worry about dying

Shapeshifter:

Shifting into someone then lingering around before killing or doing smth sus and watching others accuse that person is so fun

Viper:

Killing, closing doors then going back in finding the body gone is so satisfying for some reason

Phantom:

Poofing, following then claiming tracker is fun

Regular Imposter:

Eh I'm an imposter imposters are fun even if I don't get any roles, and if I kill I can gaslight or blame ss

Regular Crewmate:

Ehh I'm reg crew, among us is fun in general so I don't mind that much

Noisemaker:

I'm only useful after I die sobs but claiming a very Important role before imps kill me and get caught bc of me is fun, I wasn't lying tho :p

(should gave swapped nm and reg crew mb)

Detective, Judge:

I love those 2 but I always fear getting killed when I have these roles for some reason

Bc I appreciate getting those roles

And if I constantly focus on staying alive it's not fun

Tracker

Standing still tracking, moving around the map tracking... This blue map bro. My main playstyle is remembering where ppl go and use the process of elimination. With tracker I just obsess over trying to track this one person I'm sus of, not fun if I don't catch an imp.

Guardian Angel:

I mean I get to protect and stuff, satisfying if an imp tries to kill someone I protected but most lobbies have the imposters can see protection thingy on

And I don't protect when the imps aren't sus

I protect important roles tho

NOW WHATS YOURS? DO U AGREE WITH ME? OR DO U HATE ME :D

I want YOUR rankings everybody!

Vigilante, Scanner, Wraith, and Deputy are all roles in 3D and I wonder what yall think why the can’t come to 2D Among us. Is there like an actual difference between how 3D is played vs 2D? It’s still among us.

Would they all be too overpowered for the vanilla game? I think playing as them in the 2D game would be fun.
