What is kill cooldown time in Among Us?

Kill cooldown is the time an imposter has to wait in the game before they can use the kill function. The timer resets after every kill forcing the imposter to wait to make the next kill.

This gives crewmates enough time to discover bodies and spot suspicious players around the map. Changing the kill cooldown time can change your game drastically.

With slow kill cooldown times, the imposter will have to rely on strategies and sabotages to accomplish his task whereas, with faster cooldown times, they might be able to make multiple kills before a body is discovered.

Slow kill cooldown times are ideal for casual and relaxing games where you are just trying to have some fun with your friends. Games with faster kill cooldown times result in fast-paced gameplay that keeps everyone at the edge of their seats.

You will always be looking out of the corner of your eye for either a body or an imposter to come and kill you. Doing tasks with faster kill cooldown times will introduce a certain sense of dread as the imposter could come and get you anytime.
