There are more mods than ever coming to Among Us, the social deduction game from indie developer InnerSloth. Some of the most popular mods are the ones that add new roles to the game. These new roles can really shake up gameplay, and they can keep Among Us fresh and feeling more fun. So, what are the best role mods currently in the game?
Generally, each modded role brings something new to to the table. Many of the new roles in Among Us appear to be directly pulled from Town of Salem, another popular social deduction game from 2014. In addition to the roles having the same names, they also function in similar ways.
There are a lot of great mods out there, but the ones that add roles into Among Us might just be the most fun. These mods are only available for PC users, however. So, until InnerSloth officially adds some in, it's the only way right now for players to experiment with these roles themselves.
The Vigilante role and the Sheriff role in Among Us are essentially the same thing - just with different names. In both instances, players assigned this role have a Kill button that allows them to shoot an Impostor. If they succeed, then it's a win for the crew. However, if the Vigilante or Sheriff mistakenly shoots an innocent crewmate, then both the player and that crewmate will die instantly. It's a high-risk and high-rewards system, but it makes Among Us even more exciting than it already is.
The Doctor role is another game-changing addition, although it's not quite as risky as the Vigilante or Sheriff. The Doctor mod in Among Us allows one player to revive fallen allies. This can be great, since it turns the tables on Impostors, but it also puts a major target on Doctor's backs. In order to get the most fun out of this role, fallen players will have to agree not to reveal who killed them, so as to avoid cheating. Still, the Doctor role is one of the best mods to come to Among Us, and many fans should love it.
While the previous mods were all designed to help crewmates, the Jester role was designed to cause a bit of madness in Among Us. The Jester's goal is to get ejected from the game, so this person will want to act as sus as possible. If the Jester gets ejected, then they win. For anyone looking to add some chaotic fun into Among Us, installing the Jester mod is a must.
There are a lot of great mods out there, but these roles inject a bit more fun into Among Us. For anyone looking for new roles to add into the game, the Vigilante (or Sheriff), Doctor, and Jester roles are certainly the best around.
