As with any multiplayer game, once it gets popular there's going to be cheating - and surprise hit Among Us is no exception. As the game has exploded over the past few months, more and more hacks have been developed - including invisibility hacks, insta-kills, speed hacks and other unsavoury methods to ruin a game. Then there's always cheating the old-fashioned way, such as communicating with friends over Discord.
But all this has had unexpected consequences for some players, who over the past few weeks have found themselves accused of hacking - bringing the social deduction game to a whole new level.
One of the hacks developed for Among Us is the "always imposter" mod, which allows players to assume the coveted role for every game they play. It seems this one has caused some confusion when players have legitimately beaten the odds to become an imposter several games in a row, with fellow players deeming it suspicious enough to be hacking.
