It feels a little ironic that a game like Among Us with its rather brutal concept still manages to not only maintain a cute theme, but also include pets into the equation. Of course, it’s understandable that a game can’t survive without ads and in-game spending, which is why when it comes to monetization through add-ons and purchases, Innersloth has left no stone unturned to ensure that we’re forced to put some money into the game, including introducing a bunch of adorable pets that follow us around.
SECRET CODE TO GET FREE PETS IN AMONG US! (iOS/ANDROID/PC)
It’s fair to assume that it was with this monetization intention that Pets were added in an update last year. But the role of these creatures is more decorative than anything else. Essentially, Pets will follow their players wherever they go, and if their owner is killed by an impostor, the pet will stay where the player died and simply cry in the spot where its owner died. For added drama, the pet will also appear terrified when a player is killed in the kill animation that you’ll have become accustomed to if you’ve played this game.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get free pets in the game. You’ll have to purchase your pet of choice from the game’s store if you’re on the mobile version, and buy add-ons from Steam for PC gamers. All pet bundles cost $2.99 on all platforms. Here’s a look at each pet bundle and what you get.
The pets aren’t really animals. You could say they’re more like companion animals that contribute to your crew character. There is a possibility of freebies, which happens every now and then in every game and if you’re really lucky, you might be able to claim a pet for free. Make sure to keep an eye out for such offers!
