  • The new "Extra Roles" mod adds four new Crewmate roles in "Among Us"
  • The roles are the Medic, Officer, Joker and Engineer
  • Each role brings its own unique traits and abilities to the table

The “Among Us” hype may have died down a little, but the game is still enjoying a healthy amount of players. The core gameplay remains as entertaining as ever, but the introduction of mods makes everything much more fun.

The new “Extra Roles” mod by NotHunter101 does exactly what “Among Us” players think it will: it adds four new roles that players can take on to make every moment of gameplay even more paranoia-inducing. The new roles are the Officer, Engineer, Joker and Medic.

Each role adds an extra bit of depth to “Among Us” gameplay by giving players unique abilities tied to the role. These roles are also randomly assigned to players much like how the Impostor role is given at the beginning of a round.

Officer

The Officer is a Crewmate who can kill players without having to vote them off the game. Officers can save Crewmates in emergency situations, but if they shoot an innocent player, the Officer themselves will die instead.

Medic

Players taking on the Medic role will be responsible for the well-being of the crew. They can place shields on Crewmates that will render them invulnerable. Impostors won’t be able to kill shielded Crewmates until the Medic is dead. Medics can also receive clues about the Impostor’s identity whenever they find a dead body.

Engineer

Engineers can undo Impostor sabotage attempts from anywhere on the map. However, they can only do this once per game. Engineers can also use vents to travel around the map for faster access to tasks or to escape Impostors.

Joker

The Joker is the true chaotic neutral role added by the “Among Us” mod. Their only job is to have other players kill or vote them off the game. Like Impostors, they won’t have any tasks assigned to them, but they won’t be able to kill any other Crewmates either. Players can now legitimately play the “third Impostor” role and be rewarded for it.

The unique traits and abilities tied to each of these roles help diversify “Among Us” gameplay and make each round feel more unpredictable. Both Crewmates and Impostors can make creative use of these roles to make every match tenser than ever before.
