How a match works
Summary
In short
Every match assigns you a role and drops you into a short duel — understanding both sides is the fastest way to improve.
Each match assigns you either the murderer or the sheriff role. Sheriffs aim to take down the murderer; murderers try to outmaneuver or overpower the sheriff. Matches end quickly, so you can get a lot of practice in a short sitting.
- Murderer your goal is to eliminate the sheriff while staying hard to pin down
- Sheriff your goal is to hunt down and defeat the murderer
- 1v1 a straight head-to-head between one murderer and one sheriff
- Team formats 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 matches where coordination with teammates matters
- Role assignment decided each match, so you will play both sides over time
02
Ability choices by role
TableIn short
Murderers benefit from stealth and speed abilities, while sheriffs get the most mileage from defense and recovery.
Abilities differ significantly between the two roles, so the same approach does not work for both.
| Murderer stealth abilities | let you close the gap without being spotted |
| Murderer speed abilities | useful for rushing the sheriff before they can react |
| Sheriff defense abilities | help you absorb hits and survive longer exchanges |
| Sheriff recovery abilities | restore health so you can keep fighting after taking damage |

05
Collecting and trading skins
Tips
In short
Skins change the look of your revolver or knife but have no effect on performance, so collect at whatever pace suits you.
Gun and knife skins are purely cosmetic. You can acquire skins by spending in-game gems or by trading with other players.
Tips worth knowing
- Skins affect appearance only and give no gameplay advantage
- Spend gems earned through normal play to buy skins directly
- Use the trading system to swap skins with other players and target ones you want

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend Robux to be competitive?
No. Skins are the only thing money affects, and they are purely cosmetic.
How do I get skins without spending Robux?
Earn gems through normal matches and spend them on skins, or trade with other players to get the ones you want.
Is there a fast way to earn gems?
Play matches normally — that is the only legitimate method. Attempting to farm gems through any other means leads to a permanent account ban.
