🛸 [Quick Answer]
Are there cheat codes for Among Us on PC?
Modern PC versions of Among Us do not feature traditional “type-in” cheat codes. Because the game is built on the Unity Engine, the retail build has the developer console strictly locked. Instead, players must either modify local data files to unlock cosmetics or use a dedicated PC trainer for gameplay tweaks. The safest and fastest method is using an automated mod manager like XMODhub, which gives you a clean menu for Infinite Vision, Speed Boosts, and cosmetic unlocking with a single click.
📡 [Editor’s Note]
Hey guys, Catherine Hu here. Remember the golden days of gaming when you could just pause, type in a secret code like “HESOYAM”, and instantly get back into the action? Sadly, modern Unity-based games like Among Us don’t really do that anymore. When I was trying to test out new map strategies in Freeplay, I spent hours trying to find a way to enable the developer console just to spawn specific Cosmicube items or increase my movement speed without a lobby vote. It was a massive headache involving hidden %APPDATA% folders and risking my account’s local save. Today, I’m going to show you the reality of manual file editing, but I’ll also share the modern, 1-click shortcut I actually use to get “God Mode” vision and skip the Bean grind.
🚀 Introduction: Why Bend the Rules?
Gaming is supposed to be an escape, not a second job. Among Us is an incredible social experience, but let’s face it: the progression system for Beans and Stars can be brutally slow. Whether you are tired of the endless grind for a specific Limited-Time Hat, or you simply do not have the 20 real-world hours required to grind for enough tax revenue to build that Monument, sometimes you just need to level the playing field.
Using cheats on PC isn’t about ruining the game for others; it’s about customizing your experience—especially in private lobbies or Freeplay—to fit your playstyle. In this guide, we will break down the manual “config” method and the modern, automated trainer approach that keeps your account safe.
⚙️ Built-In PC Cheats: The Reality of the Unity Console
For many PC games, you can unlock a console by pressing the tilde key (~). Among Us does not have a native console in the public build. Because it is a Unity-based game, the developer tools are stripped during the compilation process.
However, you can perform basic “hacks” by editing your local player data. Here is the standard method for basic local tweaks:
%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Innersloth\Among Us\.playerPrefs file (without an extension) using Notepad.The Catch: Typing out or editing raw data strings is risky. If you input a character the game doesn’t recognize, the Unity engine will simply reset your file to default, or worse, cause an “Infinite Loading” loop that requires a full re-install.
🔍 How to Find Among Us Item IDs & Skin Codes
If you are manually editing your playerPrefs or using a legacy memory editor, you cannot just type “Blue Hat.” You need the specific numeric Item ID recognized by the Unity backend.
| Item Type | ID Range (Example) |
|---|---|
| Hats | 0 – 100+ (e.g., 20 for Dum Sticker) |
| Skins | 0 – 20 (e.g., 6 for Police Uniform) |
| Pets | 0 – 10 (e.g., 1 for Brainslug) |
Finding these exact Item IDs is a chore. It requires keeping a community Wiki open on your second monitor and cross-referencing every time the game adds a new collab or Cosmicube. This is exactly why the modding community has moved toward visual injectors that show you the icon of the item before you apply it.
🚀 The Modern Way: 1-Click Among Us Cheats with XMODhub
Let’s be honest: you just want to play and have fun, not feel like a database admin editing local files. Furthermore, manual file modification can be detected by server-side integrity checks, leading to temporary matchmaking bans.
This is why the modding community has moved on to automated trainers. XMODhub replaces the clunky file editing with a sleek, modern UI.

🌟 Most Popular Cheats You Can Activate Right Now
Whether you are on your first playthrough or a veteran, here are the most requested features:
🎮 Do Cheats Work on the Steam Deck?
Handheld social deduction is great, but cheating on the Deck is tricky.
🏆 Do Cheats Disable Achievements?
If you use the built-in local file modification, yes, the game might flag your session. However, Among Us achievements are mostly tracked via the server-side API.
The Workaround: Because XMODhub uses stealth memory injection rather than altering your permanent account files on Innersloth’s servers, the game engine usually cannot detect the modification. This means you can use QoL tweaks like Speed or Vision and still unlock your 100% completion achievements.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Yes, as long as you use a verified platform. Manual .bat files or random .exe downloads from YouTube are dangerous. Using a sandboxed tool like XMODhub is completely secure and will not trigger antivirus false positives.
A: If you use “Flight” or “Auto-Win” hacks in public lobbies, you will be reported by players and banned by the Anti-Cheat system. If you use XMODhub for QoL (Vision, Speed) in private games or local Freeplay, your account is significantly safer.
A: Modifying files on the Game Pass (Microsoft Store) version is difficult due to UWP encryption. Fortunately, XMODhub bypasses this entirely and works flawlessly with the Game Pass PC version.
🌟 Conclusion: Play By Your Own Rules
If you are stuck on a slow grind for Beans, or you just want to experience the power fantasy of having Infinite Vision to catch Impostors in the act, you shouldn’t feel bad about bending the rules in a private environment.
While digging through AppData to edit Unity files is one way to do it, it is outdated and frustrating. XMODhub makes it effortless. And the greatest benefit? XMODhub supports over 5,000+ PC games. Whether you are finding the Impostor in Among Us or surviving the darkness in Resident Evil 4, or exploring the wild mods in Mad Island, we’ve got you covered.
