The Hide and Seek update has arrived for Among Us, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. This update was anticipated for a while. The game only had its classic mode, and no other modes existed. The hide and seek is suitable with Among Us’ style, bringing a different fun way. The update was first announced at The Game Awards, and it became downloadable now. The developers also released the technical details from the update. Here is everything about Among Us’ Hide and Seek update and the patch notes.
Among Us Hide and Seek Update Patch Notes
Imposters:
- A new Ping system sends red rings of ping from each Crewmate’s locations, giving the Imposter a general sense of direction of where they can find the Crewmates.
- The Impostor also gets a speed boost to catch up with all of the Crewmates running around in the vents.
- Aside from the Ping system and the speed boost, the Imposters get a new Seek map that allows them to locate the general area of the remaining Crewmates.
Crewmates:
- The only task left for the crewmates is to run and survive the oncoming Imposter.
- Every few seconds, Crewmates will see a red ping atop their head, which the Impostor can use to locate them.
- All Crewmates can now vent to escape the Imposter, with limitations that can be set in the game settings by the host.
- Completing each task will decrease the timer, giving the Impostor less time to find and kill all Crewmates.
- Keep an eye on the Danger meter in the top-left of the screen. As the Impostor moves in closer, the meter increases, signaling danger with rising music. If they move away, the meter falls.
New Game Difficulty Options
- Beginner: Best for new players.
- Casual: Best for players just looking to have fun and not take the game too seriously.
- Serious: Best for players looking to win and play with deliberation.
- Expert: Best for players who know Among Us well.
