Among Us: How to level up

Gaining levels in Among Us is a straightforward process: just play the game. The game has roles to fill, tasks to complete, and exciting ways to kill others as the Imposter. The gameplay loop itself feeds into the leveling system.

To prevent shenanigans, you won’t gain experience if you quit the game. You have to stick it out, even if you’re killed. Those who leave before the match is over will forfeit any and all experience that would have otherwise been earned. Quitting the game also means risking a server ban.

Can players level up quickly?

Naturally, a leveling system with rewards attracts a simple question: can players level up quickly? The shortest answer is: No, not exactly.

Every match is going to vary in terms of how long it takes to finish. One game might end in a couple of minutes, while others take twice as long. However, there are ways to maximize the amount of experience you receive with each match.

Let’s say you’re a Crewmate, the non-killing kind. Are you the type of player that stands around doing nothing? At the end of the match, you’ll still gain experience simply for participating.

However, you can earn more experience by completing tasks and correctly guessing the identity of the Imposter.

Now, let’s say you’re the Imposter, whose job is all about sabotage and killing Crewmates. In doing so, the Imposter earns more experience for every Crewmate killed.

It’s a great way to build an incentive around being as stealthy as possible.
