HappyMod Among Us: Safety Review & Mod Menu Risks [2026]

You want to be the Impostor every single round. You want to see through walls, run faster than light, and know exactly who the killer is before they strike. The “Mod Menu” for Among Us is one of the most requested files on the platform.

But is it safe to use? Or will it get you banned from the game forever?

This is our direct, honest report. We tested the most popular Among Us modifications listed on the HappyMod platform. We checked them for malware, gameplay stability, and ban risks.

Part of our Apps and Games Safety Reviews series.

How Modified Among Us Builds Behave

We installed the file on a Google Pixel 7 to see if the “Mod Menu” features work as advertised. Here is what we found.

1. The “Always Impostor” Feature

The Claim: You can force the game to make you the Impostor every time.
The Reality: Host-Dependent.
This hack usually only works if you are the Host of the lobby. If you join a random public room, the game server controls the role assignment, and the mod cannot override it.

2. Wallhack & Speed Menu

The Claim: See ghosts, see through walls, and move at super speed.
The Result:Functional.
- These are “Client-Side” cheats. Your phone tells the server “I am at this location,” and the server accepts it. However, this is extremely obvious to other players and often leads to an immediate kick.

3. Skin & Pet Unlocks

The Claim: Get all paid Cosmicubes, pets, and skins for free.
The Result:Client-Side Only.
- You will see the pet on your screen. However, other players will usually just see a blank space or a default character. The server validates purchases and rejects items you do not own.

Our Expert Safety Review

Analyst’s Notes – Jonathan Jude

“Among Us is unique because the risk is social, not just technical. Unlike other games where an automated system catches you, here you are being watched by 9 other humans.

If you use speed hacks or kill instantly, other players will see it immediately. They will report you. Innersloth (the developers) has a strict policy: if an account receives multiple credible reports, they issue a Hardware ID Ban. This means you cannot play the game on that phone ever again, even if you create a new account.”

Is it Safe to Install? (The 3 Risks)

Risk 1: The “Necro Trojan” Threat

In late 2024 and throughout 2025, security researchers found the Necro Trojan hiding in unofficial Among Us mods on third-party sites.

The Attack: This malware hides inside image files within the mod. Once installed, it runs invisible ads in the background or subscribes your phone to premium text message services without your permission.

Our Protocol: Only install files that have been security tested by a reputable community manager. Always verify the file signature using our Online Virus Scanner before installing.

Risk 2: The “Ban” Risk (Anti-Cheat)

Among Us now has a stricter reporting system.

Automated Bans: If you use speed hacks, the server can detect that you are moving faster than the game allows. This can trigger an auto-kick.

Manual Reports: If you use “Always Impostor” in public lobbies, other players will report you. Innersloth (the developers) can permanently ban your account ID from playing online.

Risk 3: “App Not Installed” Error

This is a common technical conflict.

The Cause: You cannot have the official Among Us app (from Play Store) and a modified version installed at the same time. They have different digital signatures.
The Fix: You must uninstall the official game before installing the mod.

Warning: If you do not have a registered account, uninstalling the game will delete your stats and Beans.

Final Safety Notes

Among Us modifications accessed via the HappyMod platform can offer fun experiments like “God Mode” or “No Cooldowns,” but they are best used in Private Lobbies with friends.

Using these cheats in public games ruins the fun for everyone else and puts your account at high risk of being banned. Additionally, the threat of the Necro Trojan means you must be extremely careful about where you get your files.

Our Recommendation:

Safe Use: Private matches with friends who agree to the rules.
Unsafe Use: Public lobbies or competitive play.
Security Rule: Never download mods from random YouTube links.
