Fortnite's new Spy Within LTM is an Among Us clone

Fortnite continues to expand not only with incredible crossover characters after recently introducing Star Wars' The Mandalorian, God of War's Kratos, and Halo's Master Chief as part of Chapter 2 Season 5, but by innovating in the gameplay department via community created modes, this time featuring the Spy Within LTM, an amazingly designed Among Us clone.

Among Us, the social deduction game where a determined number of players tries to figure who among them is a cold-blooded killer trying to sabotage their journey through space, took the gaming industry by storm in 2020, even earning home some honors during The Game Awards. 

With its popularity skyrocketing, Fortnite community members DolphinDom, KKSlider, Bunni_, Wert, Blanky, jstKamui, MackJack, Ritual and Snownymous designed a mode that plays in a similar fashion to Among Us, being highlighted by Epic Games by adding a unique LTM playlist to the game.

Here is the basic premise of The Spy Within LTM mode: 

• Everyone starts a match only knowing which team they are on. The identity of all other players is hidden.
• Two players -- known as The Spies -- will try to eliminate other players without revealing their identity. They must do so before the crew completes their objectives.
• Eight players -- known as The Agents -- will work together to identify spies and vote them out before the spies eliminate all other players. The Agents must gather gold coins -- earned by completing objectives -- to win.
• Players cannot speak to one another in voice chat unless they are in a Meeting.
• Players can call Meetings whenever they spot a character or are suspicious of another player. Players can now talk and discuss who they are suspicious of. They can choose to vote someone out, which eliminates them. Spies need to be careful, otherwise they will raise suspicions and get voted out!

Epic Games has unveiled a sweet set of cosmetic rewards for those that venture into the LTM and complete challenges associated with the mode, these include an exclusive skate deck variant, a Christmas Glider, and more.
