Among Us hats are a type of cosmetic that Among Us characters can wear in Among Us. They accessorize or cover the top of the little astronauts' bodies, while Among Us skins decorate the lower part. Hats will make your otherwise ordinary character stand out from the rest of the color, beyond just its color. Consequently, they are very popular among players as everyone wants to look good, whether they are a crewmate or an impostor.
How to equip a hat in Among Us
Among Us players can change their character color before the game starts. To do that you will have to access the laptop in the waiting room to change the skin. Press Customize button on your screen to activate the laptop.

How to create custom Among Us hats
- Firstly, download and extract the Among Us Assets Bundle from DerPopo's GitHub repo. Make sure to select the correct version for your processor (32-bit or 64-bit).
- Next, Launch the program AssetBundleExtractor in the folder you previously extracted from the zip file.
- Select Open at the top left and navigate to the folder Among Us_Data in your Among Us installation location.
- Scroll down and select sharedassets7.assets and select Open.
- The AssetBundleExtractor will ask you what type of database you want to use. Scroll down and choose the most recent version.
- In the Assets info window, sort the list by type and select all of the Texture2D files at once.
- Click on Plugins and Export to .png so that you can have all the game's 2D textures available in a new folder (let's call it Among-Us-2D-textures).
- Open the new folder and open whichever 2D texture you want to edit. In this case you want to edit hat textures.
- Now you can use any image editing software to edit the 2D hat texture image.
- Next, export the modified file as a PNG file to the folder you created with the exported textures
- After this, head back to the AssetBundleExtractor and select all the Texture2D files again from the Among-Us-2D-textures folder.
- Now, click Plugins and select Batch Import, then select the folder with all your edited files (Among-Us-2D-Textures). This way you will have a snapshot that will have the original hat textures for the hats you did not edit and your creations will replace the ones you edited.
- You are almost done. Next, select Save from the drop-down menu in the top left of the AssetsBundleExtractor. This will produce two files, sharedassets0 and globalgamemanager.
- Finally, copy and paste the two files into the Among Us_Data folder of your Among Us installation. This will replace the default hats & skins with the edited versions you created.
- You can launch Among Us and select whichever skin or hat you edited from the customize menu at the laptop in the game's lobby.
