Your first ten minutes

Step

In short Getting your bearings matters more than winning early — focus on role, cover, and escape routes before anything else.

When you load in, the lobby is where you find someone to fight. Walk up to another player and send them a duel request. Once the match starts, a message tells you whether you are the Sheriff or the Murderer — read it carefully, because playing the wrong role by accident is one of the most common early mistakes. After that, resist the urge to sprint toward the middle of the map. Instead, scan for walls, pillars, and at least two exits from wherever you are standing. At the end of every match, pick one reason you lost or won and remember it for next time.

Send a duel request find another player in the lobby and challenge them.
Read the role message confirm whether you are Sheriff or Murderer before you move.
Move to cover head toward a wall or pillar rather than the open centre.
Check your exits choose a spot that has at least two ways out.
Watch your opponent look at their weapon and movement before you commit to anything.
Review one thing after the match, name one reason the outcome went the way it did.

How each role plays differently

Table

In short Sheriff wins by keeping distance and creating clear shots; Murderer wins by closing that distance without getting hit.

The two roles demand opposite approaches. The Sheriff carries a gun and needs space to aim, while the Murderer carries a knife and needs to get close. Knowing which you are before you take your first step shapes every decision that follows.

Sheriff	uses a gun and fights best from medium range or further.
Murderer	uses a knife and must close the gap to deal damage.
Sheriff goal	build a clear line of sight and stay out of reach.
Murderer goal	break the Sheriff's line of sight and creep forward.

Playing Sheriff

Tips

In short After a missed shot, move immediately — staying put gives the Murderer a free path toward you.

Distance is your best friend as Sheriff. The clearest openings come when your opponent changes direction, lands from a jump, or enters a narrow passage. When you miss, do not reload in the same spot — duck behind cover, reposition, and rebuild the gap before trying again. Always know whether there is a wall or dead end behind you, because losing your retreat route turns a small mistake into a loss.

Tips worth knowing

Hold medium distance or further at all times.
Pre-aim at corners and landing spots rather than tracking the Murderer mid-movement.
Fire when they change direction, land, or step into a tight corridor.
After missing, move to cover before you try another shot.
Never let a wall or dead end cut off the space behind you.

Playing Murderer

Tips

In short Listening for the gunshot before you advance is the single habit that separates newer Murderers from better ones.

Running straight at the Sheriff in the open is the fastest way to lose. Move from cover to cover, keeping the time you spend in the open as short as possible. A useful trick is to briefly show yourself to bait a shot, then duck back — once you hear the gunshot, the Sheriff cannot fire again immediately, so that is your window to advance from a different angle. Mix up near and ranged knife attacks based on how far away you are, and pick cramped spots or landing zones where the Sheriff has fewer escape options. Repeating the same movement pattern lets the Sheriff predict you, so change your rhythm constantly.

Tips worth knowing

Travel from cover to cover and never sprint across open ground.
Show yourself briefly to draw a shot, then approach from a different angle.
Move in after you hear the gunshot — that is the safest window.
Switch between close and thrown attacks depending on your distance.
Change the length and timing of every lateral move so you cannot be read.

Cover and movement habits

Check

In short A hiding spot with no escape route is a trap, not an advantage.

Good cover means more than just blocking your body from view — it also needs to let you leave quickly if the fight turns against you. Before committing to any position, check that at least two directions are open for retreat. Peek corners with your camera before physically stepping out. When strafing, vary how far you go and how long you pause, because a predictable rhythm is easy to punish.

Two exit routes confirm them before settling into any position.
No dead ends avoid pushing deep into narrow corridors.
Camera first look around the corner with your camera before moving your body.
Random strafe length change how far you move left or right each time.
Random pause timing do not stop at the same interval repeatedly.
Retreat check if you have chased someone too far, pull back and reset your position.
