Among Us 3D: VR News

[p]Notebooks open! Mouths closed![/p][p]Professor Beanbus Percibean Airlock Brian Bumblebean (adjunct) is back and ready to begin this week's lecture. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I have been alerted, mostly through the fevered shrieks of the undergraduate populace, that a new mode of play has been introduced into the Among Us 3D: VR environment. They're calling it "Tag Mode." A rather unassuming name for what appears to be a complete de-evolution of the social dynamics of the base game. Whereas the classic format presented a crude listening post of deception and group psychology, this new iteration dispenses with such intellectual frivolities.[/p][p]Say ciao to accusations and baseless arguments. In their place, we find a primal, almost Hobbesian struggle. A simple binary of predator and prey, or tagger and tagged. It is, in essence, a digital return to recess on the schoolyard, a regression I find academically fascinating. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]My preliminary findings on this... phenomenon... can be found in the full Tag Mode lesson plan here. [/p][p]And as before, every lecture, covering a plethora of assorted subject matters, can be found in the class syllabus or "learning hub." [/p][p]Now, attend to your studies, while I work towards my scientific goal of classifying the socio-economic implications of the Polus Point map layout, and more importantly win lots of scholarly awards for doing so. [/p][p][/p][p]Class dismissed.[/p]

[p]Gather round, ghouls and gals (yes, even you, Brown). We are thrilled to announce our latest, most spooktacular limited-time event for Among Us 3D: VR — Afterlife![/p][p]Starting today, October 2, 2025, things are about to get weird and wonderfully wicked aboard The Skeld II. We’ve been dying to show you what we’ve cooked up in our cauldron.[/p][p][/p][h2]Afterlife Adds the Wraith and the Guardian Angel[/h2][p]The veil between the living and the dead is thinning, and it’s unleashed two brand-new roles that are sure to lift your spirits... or drag them down into the abyss![/p][p][/p][p]Guardian Angel
Just because you’ve been ejected doesn’t mean your task list is finished! Stick around as a legally distinct friendly ghost and use your ethereal powers to protect the remaining living Crewmates from a terrible fate. You can shield a living Crewmate from one Impostor or Wraith's attack, granting them an extra lease on life.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Wraith
Some Impostors just can’t be stopped. The Wraith works with the Impostor and can continue their ghastly work from beyond the grave. Being voted out is no longer the end... it's just the beginning of a new nightmare! While living,[/p][p]Wraiths start with a countdown to when they can become a Wraith, leaving a body behind. In death, the Wraith gets the kill ability just like the Impostor, leading to a powerful apparition who can kill at will without worrying about being caught. The only clue a Crewmate has that one is near is an eerie audio cue that means RUN.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Creepy Cosmetics[/h2][p][/p][p]But wait, there's more! What's a Halloween party without costumes? We’re creeping it real with a dreadful new collection of cosmetic items available for purchase as individual items, bundles or weekly drops. Find the perfect fit for your fiendishly fashionable tastes.[/p]

• [p]New hats including the classic knife-through-the-head gag and everyone's favorite Halloween hockey goalie[/p]
• [p]Full body bundles like the gross-out slime and wrenching Frankenbean that will get you first place in The Skeld II's costume contest[/p]
• [p]New skins like the Wear Wolf (yes, you can finally give your Bean chest hair) and winged BatBean, which just might already have the perfect hat to go with it.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Aetherial Aesthetics[/h2][p][/p][p]The Skeld II itself has undergone a monstrous makeover! We’ve carved out some time to decorate, and the ship is now crawling with plenty of things that go bump in the night. Keep an eye out for:[/p]

• [p]A mystical Summoning Table where Crewmates can try to contact the great beyond by all lighting their candles at the same time (no promises on who or what answers back!)[/p]
• [p]A spooky Photo Booth to capture memories with your fiends... ahem, friends.[/p]
• [p]Jack-o'-lanterns fill the Cafeteria along with eerie coffins, suspicious slime and more to make the Bone Bash spirit complete[/p]
• [p]Limited field-of-view for the living to make every game just a little more terrifying[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Muting the Monsters[/h2][p][/p][p]We're kicking off Phase One of our Moderation refinement with this update as well. Naughty ghouls who break the Code of Conduct will now receive Mutes as a warning for poor behavior.[/p]

• [p]Account Mutes — Temporarily lose the ability to use voice chat features in-game.[/p]
• [p]New Warning Message — A message will appear to alert players who receive temporary account mutes, including additional context and the duration.[/p]

[p]We are currently working on implementing additional Moderation-based adjustments. Please stay tuned for more information.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]So, assemble your spookiest squad and prepare for some paranormal pandemonium. The Afterlife event materializes in Among Us 3D on October 2, 2025.[/p][p]Come on in, the haunting is fine![/p][p][/p]

[p]Quiet, Beans! Quiet![/p][p]Ah hem. Now that I have your attention, let me introduce myself. I am (adjunct) Professor Beanbus Percibean Airlock Brian Bumblebean. Please, please. Hold your applause until the end of the lecture.[/p][p][/p][p]You can call me Professor B.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As your go-to lecturer on Among Us 3D: VR, it has come to my attention that many of you require a rudimentary refresher on roles. In the common tongue: knowing what to do and when in the game.
[/p][p]Ah, but there's so many interwoven roles, which makes for thesis-worthy topics like the intricate dance of trust and betrayal, the Freudian undertones of the "Impostor" archetype, the Sisyphean nature of "tasks." It all weaves together to form the rich tapestry of Bean interaction.[/p][p][/p][p]Therefore, I have deigned to produce a definitive, albeit cursory, examination of the various roles, or "archetypes," that one may encounter while exploring the vast emptiness of space. But for now, an introductory glimpse at the duality of upcoming roles, available this Thursday, October 2nd.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]The Guardian Angel[/h2][p]A post-mortem paranormal entity with a surprisingly vested interest in the corporeal realm. When a Crewmate meets an untimely demise early in the game, they may return as a Guardian Angel, a spectral being with the ability to protect the living. A fascinating case of life after death, and one where the theological implications are just beginning to be studied.[/p]

• [p]"Good Guy" "Dead Bean"[/p]
• [p]Can use Protect to temporarily shield a living Crewmate from being killed[/p]
• [p]Cannot be seen or heard by living Beans[/p]
• [p]Can be seen and heard by other Ghosts, Guardian Angels, or Wraiths[/p]
• [p]Can still complete Tasks to achieve victory[/p]
• [p]Allied with Crewmates, Engineers, Vigilantes[/p]

[p][/p][h2]The Wraith[/h2][p][/p][p]Another spectral entity, but with a more... malevolent modus operandi. The Wraith works with the Impostor, but gains their nefarious powers only after death. A ghost with a grudge, if you will.[/p][p]
Able to kill Crewmates from beyond the pale, the Wraith can quickly turn the odds in favor of the Impostors. Your only defense is the Guardian Angel's shield ability and a musical warning to the Crewmates that a Wraith is near. Sleep tight, Beans![/p]

• [p]"Bad Guy" "Dead Bean"[/p]
• [p]Take out Crewmates to win[/p]
• [p]Can use Vents to hide or move around the map more efficiently while living[/p]
• [p]Can Sabotage various aspects of the map, such as doors or oxygen[/p]
• [p]While living, can "Become Wraith" to die and unlock the ability to Kill Crewmates[/p]
• [p]Cannot be seen by or talk to living Beans, however emits a foreboding sound when in the same room[/p]
• [p]Can be seen and heard by other Ghosts, Guardian Angels, or Wraiths[/p]
• [p]Does not have Tasks to complete[/p]
• [p]Allied with Impostors[/p]

[p][/p][p]Naturally, I've piqued your fascination thus far, yes? [/p][p]I cover the entire lesson plan of Roles in Lesson One of Among Us 3D 101. Yet, even more lectures on different topics will soon be available in the class syllabus. Please do be sure to bookmark and check back to this learning hub for anything you need to brush up on before the final exam.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a grant proposal to write on the semiotics of cartoon hats in online social spaces. [/p][p][/p][p]Class dismissed.[/p]

[p]Greetings, Crewmates![/p][p][/p][p]Just because the Vigilante Role is here to stay permanently doesn't mean we can't do a cheeky little recap on the DUM Justice Limited Time Event! We LOVE to share data and insights with you.[/p][p][/p][p]Let's start with some gameplay stats...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Vigilante Role grants a Crewmate the ability to Kill other beans — be it the Impostor or fellow Crewmates. However, it seems a majority of Vigilantes didn't go on a justice-fueled rampage. 💢 Of all the deaths during the Limited Time Event, 63.46% were done by Impostors and only 36.54% were performed by Vigilantes! ⚖️[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Whether brought on by evil or well-intentioned justice, the number of unalivings during the DUM Justice event went wild! ☠️ Over one million beans were killed! That's a lot of bones! 🦴[/p][p][/p][p]45% of these kills happened in lobbies where only one death occurred. So, that's either some really great deductive work 🔎... or speaks highly of Vigilante precision! 🔭 Alternatively, only 23 matches during the entire event period saw nine bean deaths in the same match. 🤯 Now THAT's stealth skill![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Looking at color preference, it's not too shocking that 🔴 Red remains the most used Bean. We've seen this since essentially the beginning of time.[/p][p][/p][p]And yet... look how close ⚫ Gray is on taking the lead! Could it be possible for a color popularity upset after the Critical Cargo event?! 😱 We'll have to find out.[/p][p][/p][p]Obligatory #JusticeForBrown as well. 🤎 We're rooting for you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]On the note of popularity, we're seeing some pretty expected results for the most used cosmetics as well:[/p]

• [p]Red bean ❤️[/p]
• [p]Fedorable Hat 🎩[/p]
• [p]Git Gud Gloves 🕹️[/p]
• [p]Suited Up Skin 👔[/p]

[p]Clearly the majority of our Crewmate player-base are distinguished, dignified, and fashionable gamers. Who would've guessed?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Keeping on topic, all five of the Vigilante-themed cosmetics performed fairly well. Most notably, the Caped Crewsader skin was the SECOND most used during the event, only losing out to the Suited Up skin. It's giving 💵 billionaire philanthropist secret identity by day... Vigilante hero by night vibes. Right? 🦇[/p][p][/p][p]Rank 32 and Rank 44, for the Vigilante Mask: Year One and Vigilante Hood hats respectively, may not seem too popular... but consider this: if you exclude all of the free hat options, they instead come in at Rank 2 and Rank 11! Curious what the most popular hat would be instead? It's the Plagued mask! ☣️[/p][p][/p][p]
We can't wait to see how these stats will change when we scan-alyze the Critical Cargo Limited Time Event! 📦Especially with all of the exciting ✨ Weekly Cosmetic Drops ✨ planned throughout the event — new items drop every Thursday![/p][p][/p][p]Stay suspicious, Crewmates![/p][p][/p]

[p]Scan you believe it? Critical Cargo, our new Limited Time Event (LTE), has officially come to Among Us 3D: VR. Expect an all new mechanic 📡 along with a new role ✨, new game mode 📦, and new cosmetics 🚀 as you engage in behavior that is simply Scan-dalous. [/p][p][/p][h2]New Mode, Mechanic & Role[/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Get ready for Critical Cargo, a special mode available exclusively on the Skeld II. This mode introduces a brand new role: the ✨ Critical Crewmate ✨. Protect these beans at all costs! If all of the Critical Crewmates get killed by the Impostors, the entire Crewmate team loses — regardless of how many Crewmates remain! ☠️[/p][p][/p][p]How do you know if someone is a Critical Crewmate? 🤔 Easy*! All beans have been equipped with a handy B.E.A.N.S. Suit Scanner with a reliable* "Scan" ability![/p][p][/p][p]🔎 *Note: Scans aren't always reliable and may produce inconclusive results, making things not necessarily "easy."[/p][p][/p][p]How does the Scanner work? 📡 After completing a set of tasks, Crewmates will gain the Scan ability. Scan a Bean next to you and one of three results will appear, indicating a Crewmate (yay 🥳), try again (boo 😞), or Critical Crewmate/Impostor (aaahhhh 😱). Complete additional tasks for more Scans.[/p][p][/p][p]Impostors in this mode are more dangerous than ever. Even though they don't have the Scan ability, the Impostors are able to see a general status of every bean from the beginning! 😲 If someone seems to know way too much about roles around the Emergency Meeting table… that's your Impostor. Probably. 😅[/p][p][/p][p]Want to know even more? Check out the Owner's Manual for this new mode![/p][p][/p][h2]Introducing Weekly Cosmetics! 💅[/h2][p][/p][p]If you love customizing your Bean, this LTE might be the best time to find the fit you've been looking for. Two new bundles are now available, including the basic B.E.A.N.S. Suit 3000 and the deluxe B.E.A.N.S. Suit 9001 upgrade. [/p][p][/p][p]Quick Fun Fact: Every Bean starts Critical Cargo mode with a Scanner, replacing any other Hat cosmetic. However — you can purchase the golden B.E.A.N.S. Suit 9001 model scanner to replace the basic grey version to show off in the new mode (and after)! ✨[/p][p][/p][p]Disclaimer: Wearing the B.E.A.N.S. Suit 9001 Scanner does not increase the probability of conclusive scans or alter gameplay in any way. Other than making you look super elite and special. ⭐ [/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Starting today, we will also be introducing 📅 Weekly Cosmetic Drops 💅 into the Among Us 3D: VR in-game store.
