I didn't believe a word they said,
But now that detective is dead.
So I don't want to make a fuss,
But you're looking awfully sus.

The impostor is a traitor subrole who emphasizes 1v1 assassination and team support. They have the following detriments:

• No shop
  
• 50% reduced damage

And the following boons:

• A close range instant kill ability that operates on a 45 second cooldown
  
• 3 placeable vents that can be used to create a dynamic teleportation network
  
• The ability to create 4 different types of sabotage stations, each producing a global detrimental effect that can be stopped in a king of the hill style minigame

Vents are a weapon that the Impostor starts with. The primary fire will attempt to place a vent onto a nearby surface that the impostor is directly looking at. If successful, the vent will spawn in an invisible "unrevealed" state that's only visible to traitors. Anyone on the traitor team can enter this vent by pressing the use key on it, which effectively removes them from reality. A player residing in "Vent Space" cannot be seen or interacted with, and cannot attack others through conventional means. Other vents that have been placed will show a unique vent button which the player can press to warp between vents. Pressing the use key while not hovering over a vent button will promptly exit the player from Vent Space.

Vents will become visible to everyone upon entering/exiting them.

The secondary fire button will attempt to take a placed vent back. This only works if the vent in question is unrevealed, meaning that a revealed vent cannot be easily moved.

The impostor's instant kill cooldown will be paused while they are in Vent Space.

The trapper subrole can use vents for no longer than 30 seconds per round.

The impostor has access to 4 types of sabotages. Each one will create an outlined sabotage station at a particular spot, and produce a global detrimental effect for as long as the station is active. This effect will end naturally after a set amount of time (around a minute or so), but players may desire to end it faster. This can be achieved by entering the red circle that encloses the station. Each player within the circle will cause a rotating red arrow to turn green. When all arrows have been green for 5 seconds, the sabotage will end prematurely. When a sabotage has ended, a cooldown of two minutes will be enacted. Sabotages are global, meaning that only one sabotage can be active at a time, and no sabotages can be enacted during the cooldown period.

The number of players needed to end a sabotage is 25% of the total number of players (rounded up). This means that a sabotage becomes harder to stop the less people there are alive.

The impostor has a unique HUD that indicates the type of sabotage, time left until the sabotage ends, and time left until the sabotage goes off of cooldown. It can be cycled by pressing the "C" key through 5 modes (the 4 types of sabotages and a manager) which are explained below:

This mode exists to handle the spawn location of the sabotage station. The initial list of spawn points is taken from the list of player spawn points (which makes it difficult for the impostor to create a sabotage station in an area that innocents have no hope of reaching). The impostor can use the Station Manager to select where the sabotage station will spawn, by using the mapped sabotage key ("V") to click on one of the station spawn icons that will appear with this HUD. The spawn that will be used will have its icon marked red. If the impostor uses the mapped sabotage key on a non-traitorous player, the Station Manager will attempt to create a new station spawn point (this is helpful for maps such as ttt_waterworld, which clusters all of the player spawns in a single area).

Three options: "Screen fade" (rolling fade to blacks, like a first person horror game), "Disable Map Lighting" (Janky on many maps. Cool on a select few), and "Fog" (Impacts all players, non-Traitors more so. Weird behavior with other fog effects). Screen Fade is the default, mostly for legacy reasons. Switch between the 3 with ttt2_impostor_sabo_lights_mode. Whichever one you use, this sabotage can be used to get in a quick kill and cause a quick pang of general chaos.

This sabotage will deafen all non-traitors. The inflicted will be unable to hear anything in-game, and will be denied access to both text and voice chat. For those who use Discord or a similar voice app, please consider instituting a house rule of not speaking while this sabotage is active. This sabotage can be used to assist traitors in preventing their opponents from gathering information.

This sabotage will, after a short 10 second grace period, deal constant damage to everyone, including those on the traitor team. This sabotage will not damage anyone after they have hit 10 HP, meaning that it cannot by itself kill anyone. It can however, deal a maximum of 50 damage if it is allowed to end naturally. A player will not be damaged if they have immunity to drowning. This sabotage is a medium risk to reward ability that can give the traitors the upper hand if handled properly.

This sabotage has no global effect. However, if it is not stopped manually, the game will end immediately and EVERYONE WILL LOSE. This sabotage is all but guaranteed to move players to wherever the station is located.

• A normal, old-fashioned Traitor
  
• Doppelganger
  
• Trapper
