Understanding the game mechanics, maps, and the best strategies for each role in the match can improve your chances of survival, victory, and loot.If you are new to the game or want to improve your performance, this guide will help you understand the mechanics, choose the best maps, and apply effective strategies for each role.
Think About Escape Routes
If you are assigned the role of innocent or sheriff,always plan your movements on the current map. Avoid entering rooms with no exits or navigating narrow corridors without a clear plan or alternative routes.
One of the advantages the murderer has over the sheriff isthe ability to perform melee attacks. While they can also throw the knife, they will always attempt to close the distance or trap you in rooms with no escape or routes with no mobility. Knowing the layout of the map and positioning yourself accordingly can significantly increase your survival chances.
Different maps containhidden paths, hiding spots, and possible escape routes where you may learn to avoid getting cornered and caught by the murderer. If you see that the sheriff has been eliminated, attempt to retrieve the weapon to defend yourself or shoot the murderer. However, do so carefully. If the murderer is camping near the gun, it might not be worth the risk, and you might be better off playing defensively until time runs out.
Pick Up The Fallen Sheriff’s Gun
When the sheriff dies,you must quickly identify where their weapon has fallen. In the game chat, other players often write where the gun is located. If you see a location mentioned, move towards it, but if the murderer is nearby, they are likely camping for the weapon. Instead of running directly without a plan, using a distraction, or pretending to walk away before returning, you can throw them off and create an opportunity to grab the revolver.
If you manage to pick up the gun, be sure to position yourself well before taking a shot.The murderer may anticipate your actions and attempt to dodge or throw their knife. Having high ground or standing near obstacles can give you extra time to aim and react.
In cases where the murderer is camping for the weapon, it is often better to spend time collecting coins. If the murderer runs out of time, the innocents win.
Identify The Sheriff And The Murderer
One of the best strategies is to quickly identify other players' roles bylooking for erratic behavior, suspicious movements, corner-camping, large groups of players, and whether they reveal their weapons. Identifying players early prevents them from taking you by surprise.
Sheriffs often reveal their weapons at the beginning of the matchto show innocents that they can be trusted. Murderers, on the other hand, tend to behave erratically and chase players without a clear reason. If you see this, run away immediately.
Keep an eye on players who avoid collecting coins, as they might be trying to blend in while waiting for the right moment to attack.
Always Play On Maps With High Mobility
The maps in Murder Mystery 2 are all designed differently.Some maps allow for greater movement freedom, while others can easily trap you.
Maps like Bank 2, Hotel, Workplace, and Factory are ideal because they offer high mobility, strategic corridors, elevators, and elements like metal detectors that help you out in a chase. Meanwhile, Mansion 2 and House 2 have limited escape routes, closed hallways, and rooms with no exit.
Having knowledge of the map layout can help you plan your escape routes. If a map has multiple floors, always be aware of stairs and shortcuts that can help you avoid danger. Likewise, using teleports or objects that obstruct vision can buy you enough time to escape a murderer.
Avoid Predictable Patterns
Other players are also looking for the fastest way to win the match.If you repeat the same movements, you will become an easy target. Never use the same hiding spot twice, as some are obvious and the first places players check.
When collecting coins, do not follow fixed routes.Mixing up paths can prevent a thrown knife from hitting you. If the murderer is chasing you, don’t just move from side to side; instead, use obstacles, doors, and speed changes to force them to miss their attacks. Additionally, do not rely on the same escape route every time.
If you find yourself in a chase situation, change your movements unpredictably to throw off the murderer. Jumping over obstacles, running in zigzag patterns, and using walls to break the line of sight are useful techniques to ensure your survival.
Position Yourself Strategically Depending On Your Role
Each role has different key positions in the maps where they can gain an advantage.
If you are the sheriff and the murderer is after you, the best strategy is to place obstacles in their way, reposition yourself, and find a better shooting angle. If you are being chased, move towards an area with open space where you may dodge thrown knives while still maintaining an opportunity to counterattack.
Spend Your Coins Wisely
After accumulating coins over several matches,you can purchase various items in the in-game store, including emotes, unique objects like pizza, ice cream, a teddy bear, etc., as well as abilities, weapon cases, and much more.
These items can be quite expensive if you do not want to invest Robux in the game. If you are willing to spend Robux, you can buy gems, the game’s premium currency, which allows you to purchase store items at a lower price than coins collected in matches.With gems, you can buy exclusive items such as keys for special chests, different weapons, and effects.
Recommended Items For Beginners
Beware oftrade scams. Avoid being scammed in trade. Never accept offers for “later” unless you know and trust the person. Unfortunately, scams and unfair trade are common in Roblox. The best approach is to research the price and rarity of different items before trading with unknown players.
