Game Overview
Murder Mystery 2 is a multiplayer survival game set in various maps, supporting up to 12 players per server. Players are randomly assigned one of three primary roles at the start of each round: Innocent, Sheriff, or Murderer. A fourth role, Hero, can emerge dynamically. The objective? Survive and solve the mystery before time runs out (typically 10-15 minutes per round).
Innocents must evade the Murderer and help identify them. The Sheriff wields a gun to eliminate the Murderer. The Murderer uses a knife to wipe out everyone stealthily. Rounds end when the Murderer is killed, all non-Murderers are eliminated, or time expires. Between rounds, players vote on maps from a selection of 12 active ones, including Bank 2, Bio Lab, Factory, Hospital 3, Hotel 2, House 2, Mansion 2, Mil Base, Office 3, Police Station, Research Facility, and Workplace.
MM2 thrives on its trading economy, where players collect cosmetic weapon skins (knives and guns) via crafting, unboxing mystery boxes with coins and gems, or trading. These skins don’t alter gameplay mechanics but add flair.
How to Play
Join a server and enter the lobby to vote on the next map. Once selected, the round begins with role assignments.
- Innocents (most common): Hide, run, and observe suspicious behavior. Expose the Murderer by sticking close to the Sheriff or witnessing kills.
- Sheriff (rare): Patrol with Innocents, shoot the Murderer on sight. If killed, drop your gun for an Innocent to claim.
- Murderer (rarest): Stalk isolated players, stab or throw your knife to kill silently. Prioritize the Sheriff last.
- Hero: Any Innocent can become a Hero by picking up the dropped gun after the Sheriff dies, then hunting the Murderer.
Earn XP based on performance (kills, survivals, wins) to level up. Coins (from filling bags as Innocents) and gems (from challenges/events) fund progression.
Gameplay Features
- Weapon Skins: Over 1,000 knives (for Murderer) and guns (for Sheriff/Hero), categorized by rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Godly (including Chroma, Ancient). Obtain via crafting (salvage duplicates), trading, or 1,000-coin mystery boxes (keys cost 100-125 gems).

Tips and Strategies
Mastering MM2 requires role-specific tactics.
As Murderer
- Isolate targets—lure players away from groups.
- Juke: Strafe and fake stabs to dodge Sheriff shots.
- Use corners and map secrets for ambushes.
- Save throws for mid-range; stab up close.
As Sheriff
- Stick with 2-3 Innocents—don’t solo hunt.
- Pre-aim corners; burst fire sparingly (limited ammo? No, infinite but recoil).
- Call out suspects via chat/radio.
As Innocent
- Hide in multi-exit spots; don’t camp one area.
- Follow the Sheriff but scatter if chased.
- Grab the gun immediately if Sheriff dies—become Hero!
- Fill coin bags early for extra rewards.
General: Learn maps intimately, avoid spam-jumping, and use voice chat ethically.
Game Modes
Switch modes anytime—data carries over.
- Standard: Classic roles, full features (radios, pets, emotes). Best for beginners.
- Disguises: Roles same, but disguised names/avatars. No radios/pets—pure deduction.
- Assassin: All players are “Murderers” with knives and a target. Last Assassin standing wins.
Rewards / Levels / Progression System
XP from rounds fuels levels (1-100). At 100, Prestige (I-X) resets you to 1 but adds 100 to your total (up to 1100). Purely cosmetic for leaderboards—no gameplay boosts.
Rewards: Coins/gems for boxes, badges (e.g., Level 10/20/30), rare skins. Trade for Godlies. Fast-level tip: Play Standard, win as Hero/Sheriff.

The satisfaction of a perfect Murderer rampage or clutch Hero win, plus endless customization, creates replayability. It’s social deduction done right—friends turn foes in seconds.
