Among Us Maps: Important Locations To Be The Best Impostor

To win as an Impostor in Among Us, you need to sabotage, kill, and lie. And to do that efficiently, you need to learn every exploitable Among Us map location- and there’s plenty of that going around.

Veterans know every Among Us map layout all too well by now – except maybe for The Airship because it’s a relatively new map. But for a beginner, it can take days before they learn all the hotspots, sabotages, and venting networks of every Among Us map.

But, not all Among Us maps are that difficult to master.

The Skeld, for instance, is the smallest and the easiest to master. However, mastering the Among Us map Polus will require some work.

That’s where our guides can help you.

Although this post only contains the POIs for an Impostor, we have detailed guides for all Among Us maps on our website too. So, make sure to check them out too.

That said, let’s move forward with the matter at hand.

Among Us Map Names & Intro

At the time of writing, there are 4 maps in Among Us:

The Skeld (Smallest Map): This is the map that Among Us was launched with. The Skeld is a spaceship that’s headed towards MIRA HQ. Because of the 4 visual tasks, Skeld is considered the easiest map of Among Us.
MIRA HQ: This is the second map to be added to Among Us. It’s a research station owned by the MIRA organization- the employer of all the Among Us characters.
Polus: This used to be the biggest Among us map before The Airship was released. It is a tough map to master with 15 locations and a complicated venting network.
The Airship (Largest Map): Airship is the latest addition in Among Us and it’s the biggest map yet. It has 21 locations making it very tough for Crewmates. It’s also the only map with zero Among Us visual tasks.

News Flash: A new Among Us map is in the works. No name or release date confirmed yet.

All Among Us Sabotages

There are a total of 5 sabotages available in Among Us. And although the times and locations of these vary on every map, these have the same outcomes. So instead of repeating them for every Among Us map layout, here’s the 5 Among Us sabotages summarized.

Reactor (Available in all Among Us maps): Starts a reactor meltdown that needs to be stabilized within a timeframe (30-45 seconds).
O2 (Available in Skeld & MIRA HQ): Shuts down the oxygen supply that needs to be restarted within a timeframe (30-45 seconds).
Comms (Available in all Among Us maps): Cuts off communication channels of the map. Security cams, door logs, and Emergency Meeting no longer work. But this sabotage is non-critical. Not fixing the comms won’t result in defeat.
Lights (Available in all Among Us maps): Interrupt the electricity of the map. Crewmates can’t see a thing. Another non-critical sabotage, but a mighty useful one.
Doors (Available in Skeld, Polus, and Airship): Shuts down the doors of different rooms to distract the Crewmates. The doors open up after 10 seconds.

All Among Us Maps Vent Locations & Networks

Killing is easy, but getting away with murder in Among Us is the real deal. To do that masterfully, you need to combine sabotages with venting which is why being aware of nearby vents and where they lead is so important.

Among Us Map Skeld Vents

If you are new to the game, Among Us map Skeld is perfect for you. Both for Crewmates and Impostors, this is the right map to learn the game mechanics.

The majority of the tasks are simple, fewer rooms are easier to navigate, and the Impostor gets a butcher house in the form of a closed/secluded Electrical room.

Here’s the detailed Among us map layout to memorize for Impostor win in Skeld.

Skeld has 14 vents and 4 networks that the Impostor can use to quickly travel through the map.

Upper Engine – Reactor – Lower Engine
MedBay – Security – Electrical
Admin – Cafeteria – Shields Hallway
Weapons – Navigation – Shields

Both the Reactor room and the Navigation room have 2 vents each to create a 3-room venting network. O2, Communications, and Storage are the only rooms that don’t have a vent on this map.

Among Us Map MIRA HQ Vents

MIRA isn’t the most popular Among Us map, but we think it’s more enjoyable than Skeld. For Crewmates, the 12 locations, tightly packed together provide a sense of security, and tracking a player is much easier in MIRA HQ using the Admin room door log.

All this makes life difficult for the Impostor, but MIRA’s venting network is a big advantage for the Impostor.

MIRA HQ has 11 vents but only 1 network.

That’s right, all the vents on MIRA HQ are interconnected. You can jump down the vent of Launchpad and travel to the opposite side of the map in three clicks. That makes life a bit easier for the Impostor in this otherwise tough map.

The vents are in:

Launchpad
Reactor
Laboratory
Office
Greenhouse
Admin
Cafeteria
Balcony
MedBay
Outside Decontamination
Inside Decontamination

The Locker Room, Storage, and Communications do not have vents, hence the safer rooms for Crewmates.

Among Us Map Polus Vents

The toughest Among Us map Polus is the playground of the Impostor. Polus used to be the biggest Among Us map, but that crown now sits atop The Airship. This humongous map has 15 locations and 12 vents.

However, the venting network isn’t the easiest to grasp.

Outside Security – In O2 – Outside Electrical
Left of Dropship (above Electrical) – Outside Laboratory
In Storage – In Office – Outside Communications
In Laboratory (hidden in the lavatory) – Near the Lava Pit – In Admin – Outside Admin

Even with 12 vents, 7 different locations don’t have a vent hole. Even with so many vents to use, it won’t be easy to get the W as an Impostor.

Among Us Map Airship Vents

The newest Among Us map Airship has a whopping 21 locations, making it the biggest Among Us map yet. To make matters worse for Crewmates, they can’t use Among Us’ visual tasks to figure out who the Impostor is because Airship has no visual tasks.

On the other hand, the Impostor can use 12 vents situated in the most task-concentrated rooms.
