COMMON TASKS
If you get a common task such as ‘Insert Keys’ on Polus or ‘Swipe Card’ on Polus and Skeld, everyone else has it too. That also means that if you don’t have a common task, nobody else has it. In other words, it is useful to know where the locations of common tasks are. Do you see someone ‘completing’ a common task that you don’t have? Another Imposter!
DON’T WASTE YOUR VISUAL TASKS
Only Crewmates can do tasks, which is why visual tasks are very valuable. If you see someone complete a visual task such as the scan in the MedBay or Laboratory, you can be 100% certain that they are in the clear. In other words, if you do visual tasks without other players present, you’re basically diminishing your chances of winning. Some players even call the presence of visual tasks ‘overpowered’, so don’t throw them away. If you save them, you can even use them to prove your innocence after an emergency meeting.
ALWAYS TRY TO FIX SABOTAGE
Do not wait for others to fix a sabotage. If all Crewmates have the same mindset, you are sure to lose the game. Of course, the risk of nobody fixing the sabotage becomes greater as the player count dwindles. If you really want to skip, do it early in the game. And remember; sabotage can be used to set up traps, so keep trying to move in groups.
