Among Us: Town Of Us Mod - All Roles Explained!
Hey guys! Ready to dive deep into the wild and wonderful world of the Town of Us mod for Among Us? This mod completely revamps the classic gameplay by adding a TON of new roles, making each game a fresh and unpredictable experience. If you're tired of the same old Impostor versus Crewmate scenario, then buckle up, because Town of Us is here to spice things up! This guide will break down all the roles you can expect to encounter, so you can jump right in and start playing like a pro. Let's get started!
Crewmate Roles
Alright, let's kick things off with the Crewmate roles. These roles are all about figuring out who the Impostors are and completing those tasks while staying alive. But with these new roles, you'll have some seriously cool abilities to help you out.
Sheriff
The Sheriff is one of the most powerful roles in the Town of Us mod. As Sheriff, you have the ability to take matters into your own hands and try to eliminate the Impostor. You get a single shot to use during the game, and if you correctly identify and shoot the Impostor, you'll save the day! However, be careful! If you shoot a Crewmate, you'll eliminate yourself, adding a huge risk to this role. This role adds a thrilling dynamic to the game, as players must carefully consider their actions and gather enough evidence before making a potentially game-changing decision. The Sheriff's ability to directly eliminate a suspected Impostor can significantly alter the course of the game, creating intense moments of deduction and strategy. The Sheriff must be observant, analytical, and decisive, making it a challenging yet rewarding role to play. Successfully identifying and eliminating the Impostor as the Sheriff requires careful observation of player behavior, strategic use of information, and a bit of luck. The added risk of eliminating oneself if a Crewmate is mistakenly targeted adds a layer of tension and excitement to the role, making it a favorite among experienced players.
Doctor
Next up, we have the Doctor. The Doctor can protect other players from being eliminated by the Impostor. Each round, the Doctor can choose a player to protect. If the Impostor tries to eliminate that player, the elimination will be blocked. The Doctor can even protect themselves! This role adds a layer of strategy, as the Doctor must carefully consider who to protect based on available information and suspicions. The Doctor plays a crucial role in keeping the Crewmates alive and can significantly impact the outcome of the game. Effective use of the Doctor's protection ability requires keen observation, deduction, and a bit of intuition. The Doctor must pay close attention to player behavior, communication patterns, and any available evidence to make informed decisions about who to protect. This role is particularly valuable in games with multiple Impostors, as the Doctor can prevent multiple eliminations and keep the Crewmates in the game longer. Successfully protecting key players or oneself as the Doctor can turn the tide of the game and lead the Crewmates to victory. The Doctor's ability to self-protect also adds a layer of survivability to the role, making it a strategic choice for players who want to stay in the game longer.
Investigator
The Investigator is all about gathering information. Once per game, the Investigator can scan a player and learn their role. This information can be invaluable in figuring out who the Impostor is. However, use this ability wisely, as you only get one shot! The Investigator adds a layer of strategic information gathering to the game, allowing players to uncover hidden roles and identify potential threats. The information gained from the Investigator's scan can significantly impact the course of the game, influencing voting decisions and shifting suspicion towards certain players. Effective use of the Investigator's ability requires careful consideration of who to scan and how to use the information gained. The Investigator must weigh the risks and benefits of scanning different players, considering their behavior, communication patterns, and any available evidence. This role is particularly valuable in games with complex role setups, as the Investigator can quickly identify key players and uncover hidden alliances. Successfully identifying the Impostor or other key roles as the Investigator can provide a significant advantage to the Crewmates and help them achieve victory. The Investigator's ability to gather information also adds a layer of suspense and intrigue to the game, as players try to deduce who the Investigator has scanned and what information they have uncovered.
Engineer
Need to get around quickly? The Engineer can use the vents just like the Impostors! This allows them to quickly move around the map, fix sabotages, and potentially catch the Impostor in the act. The Engineer's ability to use vents adds a unique dynamic to the game, allowing them to quickly traverse the map and respond to emergencies. This role is particularly valuable for fixing sabotages, as the Engineer can quickly reach critical areas and prevent the Impostors from gaining an advantage. The Engineer can also use vents to quickly investigate suspicious activity or to escape from dangerous situations. Effective use of the Engineer's abilities requires a good understanding of the map layout and vent system. The Engineer must be able to navigate the vents quickly and efficiently, and they must be aware of the potential risks of using the vents, such as encountering the Impostor. This role adds a layer of mobility and versatility to the Crewmate team, allowing them to respond quickly to threats and maintain control of the game.
Vigilante
The Vigilante is similar to the Sheriff, but with a twist. The Vigilante can eliminate one player during the game. However, if they eliminate a Crewmate, they don't die, but they will be unable to use their ability for the rest of the game. This role adds a high-risk, high-reward element to the game, as the Vigilante must carefully consider their target and the potential consequences of their actions. The Vigilante's ability to eliminate a player can significantly alter the course of the game, but the risk of disabling their own ability if they target a Crewmate adds a layer of tension and excitement. Effective use of the Vigilante's ability requires careful observation, deduction, and a bit of intuition. The Vigilante must weigh the risks and benefits of targeting different players, considering their behavior, communication patterns, and any available evidence. This role is particularly valuable in games with multiple Impostors, as the Vigilante can eliminate a threat and still remain in the game. Successfully identifying and eliminating the Impostor as the Vigilante can turn the tide of the game and lead the Crewmates to victory.
Medium
The Medium can see ghosts after they've been eliminated. This allows them to gather information from beyond the grave and help the remaining Crewmates identify the Impostor. The Medium's ability to communicate with ghosts adds a unique layer of information gathering to the game. By observing the movements and actions of the ghosts, the Medium can gain valuable insights into the Impostor's identity and strategies. This information can be crucial in guiding the remaining Crewmates and helping them make informed decisions. Effective use of the Medium's abilities requires keen observation, attentiveness, and the ability to interpret the often-subtle clues provided by the ghosts. The Medium must pay close attention to the ghosts' movements, interactions, and any patterns that may emerge. This role is particularly valuable in games with multiple eliminations, as the Medium can gather information from multiple sources and piece together the puzzle of the Impostor's identity. Successfully interpreting the ghosts' clues and guiding the remaining Crewmates to victory as the Medium requires a combination of observation, deduction, and intuition.
Impostor Roles
Now, let's switch gears and check out the Impostor roles! These roles give the Impostors some seriously sneaky abilities to help them eliminate the Crewmates and avoid detection.
Jester
The Jester isn't technically a Crewmate or an Impostor, but they have their own unique win condition. The Jester wins if they get voted out. They need to convince the Crewmates that they are the Impostor without actually being the Impostor. This role adds a layer of mind games and deception to the game, as the Jester must carefully manipulate the Crewmates into voting them out. The Jester's success depends on their ability to convincingly portray the Impostor's behavior and sow discord among the Crewmates. Effective play as the Jester requires a combination of acting skills, social manipulation, and a bit of luck. The Jester must be able to convincingly lie, deceive, and misdirect the Crewmates while avoiding suspicion themselves. This role is particularly challenging but also incredibly rewarding, as successfully fooling the Crewmates and getting voted out leads to an immediate victory. The Jester's presence in the game adds a layer of uncertainty and paranoia, as the Crewmates must constantly question each other's motives and intentions.
Shapeshifter
The Shapeshifter can transform into other players. This allows them to blend in with the Crewmates and get close to their targets without raising suspicion. However, the transformation doesn't last forever, so the Shapeshifter needs to be careful not to get caught. The Shapeshifter's ability to transform into other players adds a layer of deception and confusion to the game. By mimicking the appearance and behavior of Crewmates, the Shapeshifter can infiltrate their ranks and gain their trust. This allows the Shapeshifter to get close to potential targets and eliminate them without raising suspicion. Effective use of the Shapeshifter's ability requires careful observation, attention to detail, and a bit of acting skill. The Shapeshifter must be able to accurately mimic the appearance and behavior of the player they are transforming into, and they must avoid making any mistakes that could reveal their true identity. This role is particularly valuable for eliminating key Crewmates, such as the Doctor or Sheriff, and for sowing discord among the Crewmate team. Successfully transforming into a Crewmate and eliminating a target without being detected requires a combination of deception, strategy, and a bit of luck.
Janitor
The Janitor can clean up bodies after eliminating a player. This makes it harder for the Crewmates to find evidence and figure out who the Impostor is. The Janitor's ability to clean up bodies adds a layer of stealth and concealment to the Impostor's arsenal. By removing the evidence of their crimes, the Janitor can make it more difficult for the Crewmates to identify them and build a case against them. This allows the Janitor to operate with greater impunity and eliminate more targets without raising suspicion. Effective use of the Janitor's ability requires careful planning, timing, and a bit of discretion. The Janitor must be able to quickly and efficiently clean up bodies without being seen by other players. This role is particularly valuable in games with a high number of eliminations, as the Janitor can keep the crime scene clean and prevent the Crewmates from gathering enough evidence to identify the Impostor. Successfully cleaning up bodies and avoiding detection as the Janitor requires a combination of stealth, strategy, and a bit of luck.
Consort
The Consort is a support role for the Impostors. The Consort can role block another player, preventing them from using their role ability. This can be used to stop the Doctor from protecting someone or to prevent the Sheriff from shooting the Impostor. The Consort's ability to block other players' roles adds a layer of control and disruption to the Impostor's arsenal. By preventing key Crewmates from using their abilities, the Consort can cripple their defenses and make them more vulnerable to elimination. This allows the Impostors to operate with greater freedom and eliminate targets without fear of retaliation. Effective use of the Consort's ability requires careful planning, timing, and a good understanding of the other players' roles. The Consort must be able to identify key Crewmates and anticipate their actions in order to effectively block their abilities. This role is particularly valuable for protecting the Impostors from detection and for ensuring the success of their elimination plans. Successfully blocking a key Crewmate's ability and paving the way for an Impostor victory as the Consort requires a combination of strategy, timing, and a bit of intuition.
Tracker
The Tracker is an Impostor role that can track a player's movements. This can be useful for finding out where Crewmates are going and planning your eliminations. The Tracker's ability to follow other players adds a layer of surveillance and information gathering to the Impostor's arsenal. By monitoring the movements of key Crewmates, the Tracker can gain valuable insights into their activities and intentions. This allows the Impostors to anticipate their actions and plan their eliminations accordingly. Effective use of the Tracker's ability requires careful observation, attention to detail, and a bit of patience. The Tracker must be able to follow their target without being detected and to interpret their movements in order to gain useful information. This role is particularly valuable for identifying vulnerable targets and for planning ambushes. Successfully tracking a Crewmate and using the information to plan an elimination as the Tracker requires a combination of stealth, strategy, and a bit of luck.
Neutral Roles
Okay, last but not least, we have the Neutral roles. These roles have their own unique win conditions that don't necessarily align with the Crewmates or the Impostors.
Executioner
The Executioner has a specific target that they need to get voted out. If their target is voted out, the Executioner wins. However, if their target survives, the Executioner becomes a Jester. This role adds a layer of intrigue and personal objectives to the game. The Executioner's success depends on their ability to manipulate the other players into voting out their target. This requires a combination of deception, social skills, and a bit of luck. The Executioner must be able to sow discord and suspicion among the Crewmates while avoiding suspicion themselves. This role is particularly challenging but also incredibly rewarding, as successfully getting their target voted out leads to an immediate victory. The added twist of becoming a Jester if their target survives adds a layer of risk and unpredictability to the role.
Glitch
The Glitch can force a player to disconnect. If that player disconnects, the Glitch wins. If the player reconnects and is still alive by the next meeting, then the Glitch loses. This role adds a layer of chaotic chance to the game, where the Glitch's success relies on exploiting potential technical issues. The Glitch's ability to force a disconnect can disrupt the flow of the game and create unexpected opportunities. However, the risk of the target reconnecting adds a layer of uncertainty and tension to the role. The Glitch must carefully consider their target and the potential consequences of their actions. This role is particularly challenging and can be frustrating if the target reconnects, but it can also be incredibly rewarding if the disconnect is successful. It's recommended to only add this role if all members can guarantee the game will run smoothly.
