Mods have become an incredibly popular part of Among Us. These unofficial, fan-made changes can make the game a lot more fun by adding in new roles for crewmates and Impostors, and even creating interesting custom games to play each round. While mods aren't necessary to enjoy Among Us, they can be a great way to keep the game feeling exciting and fresh.
Because of the popularity of mods, it seems like there are new ones releasing on a weekly - if not daily - basis. That can make it difficult to keep track of all the roles modders have added to Among Us, as well as which custom games people are playing now. As soon as one new role is released, it seems like two more appear. Understandably, it might be hard for fans to keep track of every new mod that's been added.
There are many servers dedicated to mods, including the popular Skeld.net public server, which is a community-supported server that's home to some of the best mods out there. For anyone looking for the latest mods, here's a round-up of the best new roles and custom games being used in Among Us right now.
New Among Us Mod - Everyone Vents Custom Game
This custom game is a little different, in that it evens the playing field for just about everyone in Among Us. This mod is exactly what it sounds like - it allows everyone to Vent. Venting can be an important way to get around a map, but it's traditionally only used by Impostors. This mod means even crewmates can Vent now, which adds a fast and furious element to Among Us - since everyone can scramble around more freely.
New Among Us Mod - The Mayor Role
The Mayor role is one of the latest modded roles to come to Among Us. The Mayor can prove to be a vital role in any game, since this politician has the power to vote twice. That makes them pretty important to ejecting sus players, but it also puts a huge target on their backs - since Impostors will probably want to get rid of the Mayor quickly.
New Among Us Mod - The Snitch Role
The Snitch is another new role in Among Us, and it allows the player with that assigned role to literally snitch on the Impostor. Of course, there are a few caveats here. The Snitch won't know who the Impostors are until only one task is remaining. However, when that happens, the Impostors will also know who the Snitch is, creating one of the most intense gameplay elements in Among Us yet.
New Among Us Mod - Color-Changer Custom Game
The Color-Changer mod in Among Us makes gameplay even more chaotic. It changes everyone's color randomly, making it difficult to keep up with who's who. This can make it easier for Impostors to get away with murder, but it's also harder for them to target specific players.
Among Us has always embraced its zany side, and the Color-Changer mod is a great addition to that mayhem mentality. For anyone looking for an extra challenge, this is certainly it. The gameplay can be confusing - and even overwhelming - at times, but it's still a lot of fun with the right group.
New Among Us Mod - The Detective Role
There are already a few law enforcement-inspired roles in Among Us, but the Detective role is different from Sheriff in a variety of ways. As a Detective, players are able to see footprints of other crewmates for a limited time. It's a great way to track down who the Impostor is, since the color of the footprints corresponds to the color of the player. For anyone who fancies themselves a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, the Detective mod is definitely worth checking out.
New Among Us Mod - The Vampire Role
The Vampire role in Among Us adds two new abilities: Bloodrush and Bat. While in Bloodrush, Vampires can see all the other players on the map. Additionally, Vampires can only kill other players while in Bloodrush, which only lasts 30 seconds at a time. The Bat ability allows Vampires to turn into bats and fly around the map. While this mod isn't necessarily the most fair in terms of balancing crewmates and Impostors, it's still a lot of fun for the horror-themed atmosphere it creates.
New Among Us Mod - The Floor Is Lava Game
The Floor is Lava is a classic childhood game, and this fairly new mod allows it to be played in Among Us. This custom game usually works in one of two ways. The first is that Impostors are granted the ability to control the lava, placing it wherever they please on the map.
The second version has lava filling up a random room every 30 seconds, and Impostors are typically granted immunity to the lava. Either version can be fun to play, but it's definitely skewed more toward the Impostor's favor either way. For anyone who misses playing the classic game, the Floor is Lava mod in Among Us is a great way to recreate some of that childhood magic.
New Among Us Mod - The Morphling Role
The Morphling mod in Among Us allows a player to steal the DNA of a fellow crewmate and turn into them. This can be a lot of fun, since it means the Impostor can trick people into thinking an innocent crewmate is killing other players. Once the DNA is taken from a player, the Morphling can use the "Morph" button to turn into a twin of that crewmate. It's a pretty unique and interesting way to play Among Us, and it fits perfectly with the game's sci-fi theme already.
As time goes on, modders will undoubtedly continue adding new roles and custom games into Among Us. For now, these are some of the best and newest mods in the game. Each one offers a little something different to players, so it's definitely worth experimenting with them and seeing which roles and custom games players prefer. Whether players want to turn into Vampires or Morphlings, Detectives or Snitches, or just play a custom game where the floor is lava or everyone can Vent, these new roles and games can really change up the way Among Us is played.
