Ultimate Crewmate Guide

Master the art of survival and teamwork with these expert crewmate tips and strategies for Sussy Swap Simulator!

🛠️ Task Management Mastery

Prioritize Visual Tasks

Always do visual tasks when other players can see you. These tasks provide animation that others can witness, proving your innocence instantly.

  • Weapons firing sequence
  • Shields power-up animation
  • Medbay scan procedure
  • Garbage disposal ejection

Common Task Strategy

Everyone has the same common tasks. Use this to verify other players' legitimacy by watching if they perform these tasks correctly.

  • Card swipe in Admin
  • Fix wiring (multiple locations)
  • Insert keys in all maps
  • Scan boarding pass on Polus

Task Bar Watching

Monitor the task progress bar in the top-left corner. It should increase when legitimate players complete tasks.

  • Watch for fake tasking (no progress)
  • Count task completions vs players
  • Note when progress doesn't match actions
  • Use this as voting evidence

Group Task Completion

Complete tasks in groups when possible. Safety in numbers reduces elimination risk while building trust with other crewmates.

  • Travel with confirmed innocents
  • Do visual tasks with witnesses
  • Avoid isolated dangerous areas
  • Call for backup in risky locations

🛡️ Survival Tactics

Avoiding Elimination

  • Never walk alone: Stick with groups, especially in dangerous areas like Electrical
  • Buddy system: Pair up with trusted players for mutual protection
  • Emergency button usage: Don't hesitate to call meetings if you suspect danger
  • Safe zones: Stay near cameras, in open areas with multiple exits
  • Quick exits: Always know the fastest escape route from your current location

Information Gathering

  • Security cameras: Monitor high-traffic areas and catch suspicious behavior
  • Admin table: Track player locations and spot teleportation (venting)
  • Vitals monitoring: Watch for sudden deaths and their timing
  • Player tracking: Remember who you last saw with deceased players
  • Behavioral patterns: Note unusual movement or avoidance behaviors

Emergency Meeting Strategy

  • Call when suspicious: Better safe than sorry, use meetings to share information
  • Time your calls: Interrupt impostor kill attempts or sabotages
  • Gather intel: Use meetings to collect alibis and verify stories
  • Count players: Ensure all living players are present and accounted for
  • Strategic timing: Call meetings when impostors are separated or vulnerable

🔍 Detective Skills

Spotting Fake Tasks

Learn to identify when players are pretending to complete tasks:

  • Task bar doesn't progress during their "completion"
  • Wrong task timing (too fast or too slow)
  • Doing tasks that don't exist at that location
  • Not having the right tasks for common assignments
  • Skipping task steps or doing them out of order

Catching Vent Usage

Only impostors can use vents. Watch for these signs:

  • Players appearing/disappearing near vents
  • Impossible travel times between locations
  • Players emerging from areas they couldn't have entered
  • Vent animations when no one should be there
  • Players avoiding certain routes that would expose venting

Reading Behavior Patterns

Psychological tells that may indicate impostor status:

  • Following other players without clear purpose
  • Avoiding groups or common task areas
  • Defensive reactions to innocent questions
  • Reluctance to provide detailed alibis
  • Overly aggressive accusations to deflect suspicion

Sabotage Response

How to handle and investigate sabotage incidents:

  • Note who responds quickly vs slowly to sabotages
  • Track player positions during critical sabotages
  • Watch for players who avoid helping with fixes
  • Observe timing of sabotages relative to player actions
  • Use sabotage moments to gather intelligence

Information Management

Memory Systems

Develop systems for tracking multiple pieces of information:

  • Create mental notes of player positions at key moments
  • Track who has completed which visual tasks
  • Remember voting patterns from previous meetings
  • Note inconsistencies in player stories over time
  • Keep track of sabotage timing and responses

Social Engineering

Use communication to gather information and build alliances:

  • Ask specific questions about player locations and actions
  • Test players with knowledge only crewmates should have
  • Build trust networks with confirmed innocent players
  • Share information strategically to flush out impostors
  • Use meeting dynamics to pressure suspicious players

Strategic Team Play

Alliance Building

Create strong partnerships for mutual protection:

  • Buddy up with players who have done visual tasks
  • Form groups of 3-4 confirmed innocent players
  • Coordinate task completion and movement patterns
  • Share security camera and admin table monitoring duties
  • Plan emergency meeting strategies with trusted allies

Information Networks

Establish communication systems with other crewmates:

  • Designate specific players as information hubs
  • Create code words or signals for different situations
  • Establish regular check-in points on maps
  • Coordinate surveillance of suspicious players
  • Plan voting strategies before meetings begin

Psychological Warfare

Impostor Pressure

Apply psychological pressure to force impostor mistakes:

  • Ask detailed questions about task completion
  • Challenge inconsistencies in player stories
  • Use time pressure during voting phases
  • Corner suspicious players with group interrogation
  • Force impostors to make hasty decisions under stress

Mind Games

Use strategic deception to catch impostors:

  • Pretend to have information you don't actually have
  • Set traps by sharing false information to suspect players
  • Use reverse psychology to encourage confessions
  • Create false security to encourage impostor actions
  • Manipulate voting patterns to isolate impostors

❌ Common Crewmate Mistakes

Task Tunnel Vision

Focusing only on completing tasks without paying attention to surroundings.

Solution: Balance task completion with observation and social interaction.

Random Accusations

Voting based on hunches rather than evidence or logical reasoning.

Solution: Always base votes on concrete evidence and observable behavior.

Poor Communication

Failing to share important information during emergency meetings.

Solution: Speak up about suspicious behavior and share your observations clearly.

Isolation Behavior

Wandering alone in dangerous areas without backup or witnesses.

Solution: Stick with groups and use the buddy system for safety.

Ignoring Evidence

Dismissing clear signs of impostor behavior due to bias or friendship.

Solution: Remain objective and vote based on game evidence, not personal feelings.

Emergency Button Hesitation

Waiting too long to call meetings when suspicious activity is observed.

Solution: Call meetings early and often to share information and prevent eliminations.
