In Among Us terms, HC usually means “hard clear” — a player is considered cleared as definitely not the impostor, often because of strong evidence or game mechanics.

Quick meaning

  • HC = Hard Clear.
  • It’s stronger than a soft clear , which only means someone seems innocent in that moment, but not with total certainty.

Example

  • “I saw them do the visual task, so they’re HC.”
    That means the player is treated as fully confirmed crew.

Related terms

  • SC = soft clear.
  • Clear = generally not suspected.
  • Hard accuse = saying someone is definitely the impostor.
