"Among Us hacks," "Among Us mods" and "Among Us mod menu" almost always point to the same thing: a plugin that adds an in-game menu of toggles on top of the normal game. This page explains what those features actually are, how to tell a safe download from a scam, and the honest answer on ban risk, using CrewCore's own ModMenuCrew as the running example.
Players searching for "Among Us hacks" usually are not looking for a network exploit or a way to break the game server. Almost all of what gets called a hack, a cheat, a mod or a mod menu in Among Us is the same kind of thing under a different label: a plugin loaded through BepInEx that runs inside the game process and draws its own menu of toggles on top of the vanilla UI. Nothing about it edits the game files on disk, and nothing about it requires special access to Innersloth's servers. It is closer to a settings panel with far more settings than the vanilla game ships with, added by a third party rather than by Innersloth. Below are the real categories those menus cover, mapped to the actual features CrewCore's ModMenuCrew ships, so "Among Us hacks" stops being a vague search term and becomes a specific list of things a menu can and cannot do.
"Wallhack" style features fall under ESP: seeing player positions, tasks or venting activity that the vanilla camera would normally hide behind a wall. Satellite View adds an overhead map read instead of the normal first-person camera, and Reveal Roles shows you every player's role instead of only your own. All three are information tools, not tools that change what other players see on their own screens.
Always Impostor guarantees the impostor role when you are the host, and role pre-assign tools let a host line up who gets which role before the round starts. Judge is a custom role with no vanilla equivalent, part of a small rotating set of extra roles rather than the base Crewmate and Impostor pair.
Hosting features cover the day-to-day admin side of a lobby: Kick All clears a lobby in one action, Crew Vent lets crewmates use vents the way only impostors normally can, and sabotage triggers fire events on demand. Overload sits at the stronger end of this category, a network-level tool for removing a player who will not leave through normal means. It is more aggressive than a plain kick, which is exactly why the ban-risk section below is worth reading before using it on anyone who has not agreed to it.
The lowest-risk category: unlocking skins, hats, pets and visors you have not bought, plus name and color spoofing. These change how you appear to other players but do not touch anyone else's game state, which is why most mod-menu creators, CrewCore included, treat this tier as the safest place to start.
Risk is not the same across categories: vision and cosmetic features only change what you see or how you look and carry the least risk. Host, role and network tools change what happens to other players' games and are the tools worth being deliberate about, which is the subject of the ban-risk section further down this page.
Searching for Among Us hacks on a phone often turns up repacked "mod APK" copies of the game from unknown sites. CrewCore works differently: the CrewCore Mod Loader is a small APK for Android 8.0+ on a 64-bit (arm64) phone or tablet. It opens the Among Us that Google Play installed inside the loader's own process, with the same BepInEx plugin architecture as on PC. The game's APK is never modified or redistributed, and you keep updating the game from the Play Store.
It is the same ModMenuCrew menu and the same key as on PC, so the four feature categories above are all there on mobile too. A phone has no F1 key: the menu opens with the floating button or a three-finger tap. Requirements, the install steps and the SHA-256 of the current build are on the Among Us mod menu APK for Android page.
The Among Us mod-menu space attracts low-effort reposts and outright malware alongside the legitimate projects, because "free hack" is a search phrase people click on without checking who is behind it. A repost of a legitimate project's zip file, with a second executable quietly added inside, looks identical to the original in a screenshot. A few checks before you install anything, from any source, including this one:
Innersloth does not prohibit mods the way some competitive games prohibit any third-party code outright; a mod menu runs as an external plugin next to the game rather than inside a server Innersloth controls. That said, whether a mod menu is running is a different question from how it gets used, and that second question is where the actual risk sits.
The lowest-risk pattern, and the one most mod-menu creators actually intend, is a private lobby with friends who know the mod is there and are fine with it, or single-player use for content creation and recording, where no other real player is affected at all. Using stronger features, such as forcing a role or removing a player who has not agreed to any of it, in a public lobby against people who did not consent, is the pattern that generates reports. Innersloth can act on those reports, up to a lobby kick or an account-level ban.
No mod menu, CrewCore included, can honestly promise to be undetectable or promise you will not be banned. Anyone who makes that promise is not being straight with you. What CrewCore does instead is document the risk plainly: it makes no anti-detection or ban-protection claim, and using its features against non-consenting players in public lobbies carries the same reporting risk as any other mod menu.
Content creators sit closer to the low-risk end of this scale even when they play in a lobby full of strangers, as long as the footage is what is actually driving the risk assessment: showing viewers what a feature does, on your own screen, is a different act from using that feature to spoil a stranger's round without warning. The distinction Innersloth and most reports care about is consent and disruption, not whether a camera happened to be recording.
Yes, they can be. Innersloth does not ban an account simply for having a mod menu installed, but a report from another player in a public lobby can lead to action, especially when a feature was used against people who had not agreed to it. Playing in a private lobby with consenting friends, or using single-player features for content, is the lower-risk pattern most mod-menu users actually follow.
No. Installing a mod menu for personal use is not a criminal matter in most places. At most it is a violation of the game's own terms of service, which is a civil matter that can lead to an account or lobby-level ban rather than legal action. This page is not legal advice; read Innersloth's own terms if that distinction matters for your situation.
In practice, not much separates the two technically, a mod menu is the plugin, and cheating describes what happens when someone uses one of its features to gain an unfair edge over players who did not agree to it. The same toggle used in a private lobby with consenting friends is generally treated as ordinary modding rather than cheating.
For CrewCore, yes. The PC plugin and the Android CrewCore Mod Loader run the same ModMenuCrew feature set from one activation key. See the PC and Android pages for the store and device specifics.
Only if you hand over a password somewhere you should not. A legitimate mod menu authenticates through an official login screen, such as Discord's own OAuth flow, and never asks you to type your Discord, email or Innersloth password directly into a third-party window. If something does ask for that, it is a credential-theft attempt, not a mod menu feature.
If you came here to understand what an Among Us mod menu can actually do before installing one, the CrewCore mod menu is the working example used throughout this page: free to start, with every safety note above applying to it the same as to any other mod.
