Outside

“Outside” is a location in “Among Us” set on Polus and The Airship.

Overview

Polus

Outside the planetary base lies its outer area, situated almost directly from the right exit of the Office. It features a lava pit, several climatic modules, and a metal plank leading out to the lava used when a player is ejected. Interestingly, while playing, players are prevented from falling into the lava. This area can also be observed through the security cameras.

The Airship

On The Airship, there are two distinct Outside locations. One can be accessed from the Viewing Deck, while the other can be reached from Security. From the Viewing Deck, the Outside area is a small, square balcony with a wooden plank extending from it. On the other hand, the Outside location from Security is a larger balcony that leads down to the right with stairs. At both locations, there’s a panel for Upload Data, and the distinctive sound of The Airship’s engine can be heard as clouds pass by.

Sabotages

The Seismic Stabilizers are located outside. There are two stabilizers: one on the northwest corner of the map and one on the northeast corner. Similar to the Reactor Meltdown, two players must simultaneously place their hands on the panels at both locations to resolve the Sabotage and reset the stabilizers. The Sabotage has only one minute to be fixed. If the Crewmates fail, the Impostors win.

Vents

There are six vent holes located outside, including:

• One below Electrical that leads to the vent near Security and the tree room in O2.
• One below Communications that leads to Storage and the hallway in Office by the Fix Wiring panel.
• Two that lead to each other at the top of the map near the Seismic Stabilizers and Dropship engines.
• One below the water valve near Office that leads to a small corner in Admin.
• One below Laboratory leads to the bathroom and the same vent in Admin.

Trivia

• Two of the tasks located Outside on Polus are not labeled as being Outside in the task list.
  • Fix Weather Node will display as "Node_Node Name: Fix Weather Node".
  • Open Waterways will display as "Boiler Room: Open Waterways", even if both of the water wheels in Boiler Room are completed.
• South of the Specimen Room on Polus, there is a dead snow Crewmate's body, complete with a bone sticking out. This could mean that the snow Crewmates are discussing the dead body, along with whom of them is The Impostor.
• On Polus, Outside has the most vents of any location, containing six.
• On The Airship, Outside is only mentioned in the task list. While Outside, either "Viewing Deck" or "Security" is displayed at the bottom of the screen, depending on where it was accessed.
• In version 2021.3.5, the textures of the floors and the lava of Outside on Polus glitched on iOS, causing them to disappear. This bug has since been fixed.
• The main ambience sound that can be heard when near the lava pit on Polus is similar to Kitchen on The Airship.
• Outside on Polus is one of the two locations that have interconnected vents. The other location is Gap Room on The Airship.
• In Hide n Seek, if the player it outside on Polus, then the Seek map won't display the Crewmate's location.
• In Hide n Seek, while outside on Airship, the music will overlap the current background music, giving the Seeker a slight advantage as Crewmates can't hear the music as easily.
