The three roles and what they do

Table

In short Every role has a completely different goal, so the first thing to do each round is check which role you were given.

Innocents make up the majority of players in any server — the exact number equals the total players minus two, since one slot goes to the Sheriff and one to the Murderer. Knowing what each role is trying to do helps you react to the other players correctly.

Innocent	avoid the Murderer, collect coins, and survive until time runs out or the Murderer is stopped
Sheriff	the only player with a gun; find and shoot the Murderer without hitting an innocent by mistake
Murderer	eliminate everyone using a knife, including throwing it at range, before being shot
Hero	an Innocent who picks up the Sheriff's gun after the Sheriff dies

Surviving longer — Innocent tips

Tips

In short Small habit changes make a real difference to how long you last each round.

Once you know the basics, a few specific habits will cut down the number of times you get caught off guard.

Tips worth knowing

If you hear a stabbing sound, peek carefully to spot the Murderer rather than running blind
If you have a Radio item, do not use it during a round since the sound lets the Murderer track your position
Pets can give away a hiding spot because of their size, so keep them out of tight areas

Playing Sheriff without losing your gun

Warn

In short Shooting an innocent kills you both and drops the gun for anyone — including the Murderer — to pick up.

The Sheriff is the only player who starts with a weapon. Keep your identity secret for as long as possible, because a Murderer who knows who the Sheriff is will target them early. If you leave the game mid-round, the gun spawns somewhere on the map rather than disappearing.

Worth watching out for

Do not shoot until you have direct evidence seeing the knife or watching someone get stabbed counts

Stay near crowds without standing inside them so you can watch for suspicious movement

The gun reloads after every shot and is most reliable at mid-range or close quarters

Shooting an Innocent kills you both instantly and drops the gun for anyone including the Murderer — to pick up

Level badges — the long-term goal

Check

In short Playing rounds consistently is the only way to climb through all ten badge levels, since experience comes purely from time spent in the game.

Murder Mystery 2 has ten obtainable badges, each tied to reaching a specific level. Levels rise by earning experience through rounds, and the badges unlock in order as you hit each threshold. There are no badges for prestiging, so the visible milestone targets run from level 10 all the way to level 100.

Reach level 10 to unlock the first badge
Continue through levels 20, 30, 40, and 50 each awards its own badge along the way
Push on through levels 60, 70, 80, and 90 as experience from rounds accumulates
Hit level 100 to collect the final badge and complete the full badge set

Trading and rarity basics

Summary

In short Godly acts as the standard unit of value in trades, and checking a price site before any deal keeps you from being shortchanged.

Weapons in Murder Mystery 2 have eight rarity tiers. Crates opened with coins mostly produce Common and Uncommon items, but duplicates can be broken down at the Craft Station into materials used to build higher-rarity weapons. Before accepting or offering any trade, check community price sites so you know what things are actually worth.

Common　lowest tier, frequent from crates
Uncommon　still common from crates
Rare　above average, less frequent
Legendary　notably harder to obtain
Godly　the standard reference unit for trade values
Chroma, Vintage, Ancient　the three tiers above Godly, increasingly scarce

Trade scams to avoid

Warn

In short Most scams follow predictable patterns, and knowing them in advance stops almost all of them.

The trading community is active but scams do exist. The most important habit is reading the final confirmation screen carefully every single time — some scammers swap items at the last moment before you confirm.

Worth watching out for

Read every item name and rarity on the confirmation screen before clicking accept

Anyone claiming a middleman is needed to hold items is running a scam

Cross-trading exchanging items outside the official trade screen — has no Roblox protection if something goes wrong

Never share your account password or personal information with another player regardless of what they offer

Redeeming codes for free rewards

Step

In short Codes expire quickly, so enter them as soon as you find one.

Murder Mystery 2 supports redeemable codes that give knives and other rewards. Each code can only be used once per account and most have an expiry date.

Open the game launch Murder Mystery 2 on Roblox
Open your inventory click the Inventory button in the lower-left corner of the screen
Find the input field look for the Enter Code box inside the inventory screen
Type carefully match uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as the code appears
Redeem press the Redeem button and check that the reward appears in your inventory

Glossary

Innocent: The most common role; carries no weapon and wins by surviving until time runs out or the Murderer is eliminated.
Sheriff: The one player per round who starts with a gun and is responsible for shooting the Murderer.
Murderer: The player assigned to eliminate everyone else using a knife, which can also be thrown for a ranged kill.
Hero: An Innocent who picks up the Sheriff's dropped gun and can then shoot the Murderer.
Godly: A high-rarity weapon tier that the community uses as the standard unit when describing trade values.
Ninja perk: A Murderer perk that removes the knife movement sound, making it harder for Innocents to detect an approaching Murderer.
Craft Station: An in-game station where duplicate weapons are broken into materials and combined to produce higher-rarity items.
Ghosting: The act of watching the game in spectator mode and then telling living players where the Murderer or hidden Innocents are.
Sharking: A scam tactic where a trader exploits another player's lack of price knowledge to get items worth far more than what they offer in return.
Chroma: A rarity tier above Godly, making it one of the three tiers above Godly alongside Vintage and Ancient.

Common questions

FAQ

What happens if the Sheriff shoots an Innocent by mistake?

Both the Sheriff and the Innocent die, and the gun drops on the ground where anyone can pick it up — including the Murderer.

Can you get rare weapons without spending Robux?

Yes. Open crates with coins earned from rounds, then take any duplicate weapons to the Craft Station to break them into materials. Those materials can be combined to craft higher-rarity weapons over time.

Where do new codes get announced?

The developer Nikilis posts new codes on their X (formerly Twitter) account and the game's official Discord server.

How do I earn level badges?

Play rounds and accumulate experience — you earn five experience points per second while alive, so a full three-minute round gives 900 XP. Badges unlock automatically when you reach levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100.
