Rules For "Among Us" Frantic Mode
"Among Us" Frantic Mode is a bit similar to another game mode, Hide and Seek. The major difference is that the Impostor is not required to declare themselves and they can only access two sabotages. The main objective of the game is the same, that is, Impostors hunt and kill the whole crew while the crewmates attempt to finish all tasks before getting killed.
As part of the Frantic Mode rules, Impostors must wait 30 seconds at the beginning of the round before killing any crewmates. Additionally, they can only sabotage lights and communications. It is also forbidden to announce the status of the Impostor. Moreover, Impostors could use vent-kill in Frantic mode.
Crewmates, on the other hand, must agree to a set of rules just like the Impostors. In Frantic mode, crewmates are not allowed to fix communications and lights, call emergency meetings or report dead bodies. When killed and playing as a Ghost, Crewmates are not allowed to call out the name of the Impostor. Additionally, Crewmates are not allowed to vote anyone out.
