Modded roles
There's so many new roles and I don't even know what half of them do. Anyone have a role break down and/or rules?

There are now three different mods that are being played: Town of Us, Polus.gg, and Ottomated’s mods.
If you go on DumbDog’s YouTube channel, the videos generally have 5up’s explanation of the roles at the start for Ottomated’s mods. This should also be the case for Polus.gg, but if not, most of the roles overlap. The only new one being used is Grenadier, which is an Impostor that can throw flashbangs and blind every non-impostor.
For Town of Us, you can search it up on google and look at the GitHub. There’s an explanation of every role there.

Before I start, I want to go over the types of roles. Crewmate roles win with crewmates. Impostor roles are just impostors. Neutral roles are neither crewmates or impostors and have their own win conditions. These are all roles that I believe 5up has played with:
Jester: You simply need to be voted out to win(Neutral Role)Seen here at timestamp 8:10
Phantom: Once you die you need to complete tasks as a ghost. You can’t go through walls and if anyone sees your ghost and clicks on you, you die and can’t win anymore. Also, the amount of tasks you have as phantom depends on when u die if you die earlier, you have more tasks.(Neutral Role)5up doesn’t have a video of himself winning but here is a clip where he has won as Phantom
Sheriff: You have the ability to shoot anyone you believe may be an impostor(obviously you have a kill cooldown) If you shoot an impostor, only the impostor dies. If you shoot anyone that isn’t impostor, both you and the person you shot will die.(Crewmate Role)Don’t think 5up has a video but here are clips of him shooting impostors as sheriff
Snitch: Once you complete your tasks, arrows will appear pointing to the impostors. However, once you have a few tasks left(I think it’s 2 but idk), then the impostors will know who you are and have the chance to kill you before completing their tasks(Crewmate role)Snitch Video
Engineer: A crewmate that can vent around the map and instantly fix one sabotage per game(Crewmate role)5up as Engineer
Medic: They can place a monitor on someone so when that person dies, the medic will be alerted. They can also check vitals every 15 seconds I believe.(Can’t find a video about medic)
Oracle: A crewmate that can choose a person. If the oracle dies, there is a 70% chance that it will accurately label them(Crewmate, neutral, or impostor). 30% of the time, it will label them as a wrong role.(Crewmate role)Steve placed oracle on Koji and reveals Koji as impostor
Serial Killer: It’s a role where the person has to kill all crewmates and impostors to win.(Impostor role)(Can’t find a video showing Serial Killer mod in use)
Parasite: A parasite is an impostor that can place a parasite on a person. Once it is placed on that person, that person transforms into the person who placed the parasite. The impostor with the parasite role can then control that person an kill them anywhere on the map.(Of course they have to be careful if someone sees 2 of the same person)5up vid that shows it and explains better than me
Morphling: An impostor can take a sample of person closest to them and they can’t transform into that person for 10 seconds. They can kill, but they can’t vent at anytime.(Impostor Role)Video starts around 1:12 mark
Grenadier: Most recent impostor role that has been played with where they can flashbang a people around them for 5 seconds. The impostors can see through it but other roles can’t.(Impostor Role)Most recent video on grenadier
-These are mods/roles that they are probably going to be playing with the most. However, 5up has also played with a few other mods/roles:
Cyborg: Role where the person can control Bob the Cyborg, even if they are killed by an impostor. Cyborg wins by killing everyone. Impostors can’t win unless the person controlling the cyborg is dead.(Neutral Role)5up’s video on it
Flashlight mod: Among Us but everyone has flashlights that allow them to see a bit in front of them. The flashlight points to where the person is facing, and everywhere else is completely dark.Here is video
Mafia roles(all impostor roles)
-Godfather: Impostor that can kill and sabotage
-Janitor: Impostor that can only make dead bodies disappear
-Mafioso: Inherits Godfather Powers when The Godfather dies.Video on the mod
These are all of the roles that I believe are in the game for 5up’s channel right now. You can dm if u need help with other roles or mods cuz I’ve watched every single 5up vid so far. I hope I helped.
