What is Sabotage in Among Us?

Sabotage  - Underground sabotage is a unique feature that only an imposter can use in Among Us. Sabotage will create a 'crisis' or temporary breakdown, forcing the crew to fix the problem, ignore it or wait for it to end.

Each vandalized room will have its own special effects. For example, the impostor could Sabotage the electric room to turn off the lights on the ship, limiting the astronaut's vision.

How can an imposter use Sabotage in Among Us?

To perform a deadly mission, an impostor can click the Sabotage button   in the lower right corner. This will open the ship map. Here, you can choose from different types of sabotage - just tap the desired room icon to 'sabotage' it.

What happens when an imposter uses Sabotage in Among Us?

Each Sabotage type has a different effect, creating a temporary crash on the spaceship. You will see a flashing warning under the task list, signaling the system is down.

A stopwatch and flashing red lights also appear, depending on the severity of the vandalism.

The Emergency button   is off by default for all Sabotage types. The crew cannot discuss and vote on a potential impostor until the room is back to normal by Sabotage.

Additionally, an imposter can only Sabotage once at a time. All other sabotage types will be frozen for a few seconds.

After all, an impostor can help fix the compromised system - a great tactic for hiding your true identity and being less suspicious.

1. Oxygen Depleted

Vandalizing O2 will disable the ship's oxygen supply and show a warning:  Oxygen Depleted . Surely you know what happens when there is no oxygen? - They will die.

The imposter team immediately wins if the O2 countdown is zero, so the crew must act quickly and enter a pin to refill the oxygen as soon as possible.

2. Reactor Meltdown

Destroying the reactor will damage the engine of the ship and the impostor will win instantly. Similar to the O2, if the crew can't fix the reactor by the allotted time, it's all over.

A minimum of 2 Crewmates must work together to fix the reactor by holding their hands on the scanner at the same time.

3. Comms Sabotaged

If the impostor vandalizes Comms communications room, the crew cannot see the list and location of the mission on the map.

In addition, security cameras, critical surveillance, system administration maps and door locks are also disabled until this room is repaired.

4. Fix Lights

If the electrical system is damaged by an impostor, the ship will have no light left. The sudden drop in visibility made it difficult for the crew to see who was around until they were standing close together. However, the impostor was unaffected by this.

The crew must correct the power failure as soon as possible. If not, the impostor will have a chance to stealthily kill without anyone knowing.

5. Closing Doors

In addition to circumventing critical systems, an impostor can also choose to sabotage room doors. When doing so, the door will close and lock for 10 sheets, preventing players from entering or leaving the room.

If an imposter destroys the door, other types of Sabotage will be in a "freeze" time. This means that the rogue team can close many or even entire doors on the map.

However, if a different Sabotage is used, the door damage will revert to a "frozen" state.

Overall, an imposter is one of the most interesting roles in playing the game Among Us. Learn how to use each type of sabotage wisely - Sabotage is an important factor in becoming the best Impostor in the game.
