Although initially released in 2018, Among Us was thrust into the spotlight in 2020. Since then players have taken the now-iconic little Crewmates into millions of rounds of trying to figure out who the impostor of the ship is. Arguing in the chat about who has been killing the other Crewmates is almost second nature to gamers everywhere.

Due to the immense popularity, it was inevitable that the modding community would get their creative hands working on endless mods for Among Us. With only one game mode to work with, modders have attempted to change parts of the game while keeping the gameplay true to its core. Here are some Among Us mods that might make your game even more fun.

Updated on November 15, 2023, by William Quick: Innersloth is still working to keep Among Us relevant by expanding its content and mechanics in different ways. However, we don't always have the patience to wait for the new updates and DLC to appear, which is why we turn to the ambitious creators in the community. There are quite a lot of modders who spend their spare time coming up with ways to improve and change how the game is played. Whether it's adding a new map or new roles to play, these are some of the best mods you can add to Among Us to make it a whole other experience.

Some of these mods are not available for public download, but are instead used by their creator in special lobbies that you can join via Skeld.net and other methods. This is noted on this list where applicable.

16 Shy Guys

Shy Guys Mod Shy Guy Skins

Characters from the Mario Bros. universe manage to make their way into all sorts of titles, even if they're not invited. One person has decided to introduce one of the most recognizable beings to Among Us with the Shy Guys Mod.

The title says it all in that all the crewmates in the game will be transformed into Shy Guys when installed. Considering that the game is about a bunch of astronauts hiding behind masks while trying to find the monster hiding in their ranks, the Shy Guys fit pretty well into the scenario since they're wearing masks.

15 Love Couple

Love Couple Mod Victory

With so much of Among Us focused on turning your back on players and sneaking around to betray others, the love couple mod turns that idea on its head and focuses on falling in love with another player.

This Among Us mod randomly assigns two players together as the “Love Couple,” and they win the game if they are among the last three players left alive. The interesting thing about this mod is that a normal player and the Impostor can be a “Love Couple,” without knowing each other’s roles. It almost functions as a cuter version of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, and that’s just awesome.

14 Everyone Vents

Vented Mod Showing Players Using Vents

Every player can vent all they want in the chat, but the Everyone Vents mod makes it a bit more literal than spouting your feelings. Venting is a means of transportation that is exclusive to Impostors, where (most commonly after eliminating a Crewmate) the Impostor can hop into a nearby vent and travel to another part of the ship.

This is a clear giveaway that someone is the Impostor if someone else sees it happen, but with this mod, every single player has the option to travel via vents, which makes everyone extremely mobile while also making the Impostor way harder to pinpoint. While not available to download, players can vent as much as they please by joining custom lobbies that already have the mod attached.

13 Extra Roles

Extra Roles Mod Engineer Map

There are a lot of mods that add additional roles and mechanics to the game, some of which can be covered in depth. The Extra Roles mod introduces several new roles into the game (four to be exact), some of which are similar to other mod roles, but two are unique.

Of these roles, one of them is the Medic. Unlike the Doctor, the Medic cannot revive dead crewmates but can apply protection to a crewmate who is still alive. The other is the Engineer, which gets an altered map interface to fix sabotaged elements remotely. The inclusion of these two roles can noticeably alter how both crewmates and impostors operate.

12 Mayor Role

While one of the more simple roles to have been added to Among Us through the modding community, the Mayor Role provides some massive power to one individual at the beginning of each game.

When a player is assigned the role of Mayor, the game plays almost the same until a meeting begins. The Mayor is assigned two votes instead of one, which can sway a voting session in a big way, or force a tie in certain situations. It’s a small amount of power, but it makes a gigantic difference when it comes to the fate of the vote.

11 Vampire Role

Vampire Mod A Vampire Player With Others

Believe it or not, having a ridiculously overpowered Impostor can be fun! There are very few Among Us mods more geared toward making the Impostor feel otherworldly powerful than the Vampire Role, which turns the Impostor into an absolute nightmare.

With this role, the Impostor gets a modified Kill Cooldown timer that allows the player to kill Crewmates faster than normal. The Impostor can also fly through walls by turning into a bat, with little to no repercussions, because the Impostor stays anonymous while in bat form. Possibly the biggest kicker is that the Impostor can see the locations of every player on the ship at all times. If you don’t already have enough reason to be frightened of vampires, this mod will give you more.

10 The Haunted Mansion Map

The Haunted Mansion Mod The Lock Task

In terms of ongoing game updates, the devs have put a lot of effort into creating new maps with different layouts and themes. However, there's always room for new ones to be put in, especially considering the different themes and architectural styles out there.

The Haunted Mansion Map mod includes a whole new spooky playground to run around in and explore. The situation is already scary and tense, to begin with, so it's nice to have a traditional horror-based setting to drive the point home while providing an alternative to the usual sci-fi environments.

9 100 Players

100 Players Mod With All The Players Gathered Around Tables

The battle royale craze is still raging on in many different games, so the modding community thought that Among Us should join the trend. The 100 Players mod is exactly as the name implies: 100 different Crewmates running around at once.

Naturally, it is just as much of a disaster as anyone might expect. Despite involving a few too many players to deal with for this type of game, the absolute hilarity that ensues is enough reason to try this Among Us mod out.

8 Drag Bodies

Dragging Bodies Mod Showing A player Carrying A Body

Although quite simple, the Drag Bodies mod is a game-changer. This mod allows the Impostor to move bodies that they have taken down, which can provide incredible opportunities for hiding, framing other players, or just messing with the minds of everyone involved.

This mod specifically gives the Impostor more power while simultaneously not making the game unbalanced. This mod feels like a deleted concept that the developers left out of the final cut in the best possible way. The mod was created by user Socksfor1 and is only available in lobbies created by them and is slowly making its way around, but hopefully, it will become more widespread shortly.

7 Character Skins

Although quite commonplace in other games, Among Us doesn’t have very many visual customizations to choose from. Even though it’s not a game that specifically needs it, being able to choose a unique costume is an important aspect that makes players feel more invested in their characters.

6 Infected: Impostor Zombies

Infected Mod A Crewmate Runs From Zombies

A mod that changes up the entire structure of Among Us, the Infected mod acts as a classic Infected game mode for multiplayer shooters. The Impostor plays a zombie who only needs to touch other Crewmates to turn them into zombies, then the new zombies can create more zombies, and so on.

The Impostor wins when everyone is infected and the surviving team wins if they complete all tasks before every Crewmate has been infected. It’s a really fun twist on the formula that is great for when players need a bit of a shake-up from the traditional Among Us structure.

5 Floor Is Lava

Floor Is Lava Mod Players Seek Safety From Lava

The Floor Is Lava mod changes the usual Among Us formula in a huge way. With this mod enabled, a random room fills with lava every few minutes and players need to step on a prop to avoid it, or they will be eliminated.

The Impostor isn’t affected by the lava and, although this can make games much shorter if players aren’t careful, it creates a massive new dynamic that can make for a really fun time that is reminiscent of the classic childhood game. Currently, the mod is making the rounds in lobbies created by the Among Us mod creators (SSundee, Socksfor1), but hopefully, it’ll burn through into GitHub soon.

4 Sheriff Role

Sheriff Mod The Role Screen

Adding even more roles to Among Us makes the game more engaging. One of the most acclaimed Role mods is the Sheriff role which randomly assigns one player as the titular Sheriff and allows them to shoot one player. Of course, this is meant to be used to take out the Impostor.

However, if the Sheriff shoots an innocent player, both the Sheriff and that player die. It is an incredibly interesting dynamic that adds even more excitement and tension to the already engaging gameplay.

3 Jester Role

Jester Mod The Role Screen

One of the many new roles that the modding community has added to Among Us, the Jester role is a very interesting and unique role that affects the entire fate of the game. One player is randomly assigned the role of the Jester and their goal is to be voted out by the rest of the players.

While the Impostor is running around eliminating players, the Jester needs to act as suspiciously as possible and, if others vote that player out, the Jester wins the game. It adds even more tension to both the Impostor and the other Crewmates in a very thought-provoking way.

2 Town Of Impostors

Town Of Impostors Mod Title Art

Of all the mods that are currently available, the Town Of Impostors is one of the heaviest and most expansive, touching on almost every major element in the game. It adds a whole roster of new roles for the crewmates to play, as well as different roles for multiple Impostors to take on and additional modifiers to apply to players.

The most interesting elements involve granting the impostor a slew of abilities (to balance out the new crewmate roles) to give them way more options. It also adds in new game modes like map randomization or making it so that the game doesn't end if one crewmate or the Arsonist still lives.

1 Proximity Chat

Proximity Chat Mod Players Chatting To Each Other

One of the greatest complaints from Among Us fans is that all communication is done through text unless players use an external form of communication such as Discord. It makes sense though: if everyone could immediately voice chat, the Impostor would be discovered incredibly quickly unless every player has a truce at the start.

The Proximity Chat mod aims to fix this issue by creating a function where players can voice chat, but only if they are close to another player. While the mod is still being worked on and perfected, the idea itself is absolutely genius and would allow for more entertaining and hilarious games with immediate communication.
