Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I increase my chances of becoming the Murderer in Murder Mystery 2?
The chance of becoming the Murderer is determined randomly by a percentage system. The more rounds you play as Innocent or Sheriff, the higher your chance becomes in the next game. You cannot buy the role, but playing consistently automatically increases the probability.
What is the best strategy for an Innocent to survive?
The main goal of an Innocent is to survive and figure out who the murderer is. The best strategy is to stick close to a group of other players (it's harder for the murderer to act in a crowd), remember who was nearby during kills, and stay near the Sheriff to quickly pick up the gun if they die.
What happens to the gun if the Sheriff is killed?
If the Murderer eliminates the Sheriff, the gun drops to the ground and glows (usually green). Any Innocent player can pick up this gun and take on the role of the Hero to shoot the Murderer and win the round for the team.
How do you throw a knife when playing as the Murderer?
Throwing a knife allows you to kill from a distance. On PC, you need to hold the "E" key, aim, and release (or use Shift Lock). On mobile devices, a special "Throw" button appears, which you must press after aiming at your target.
What is Prestige in MM2 and how do I get it?
Prestige is a player progression system. When you reach the maximum level 100, you can reset your level to 1 to earn a new Prestige rank (from I to X). It doesn't give gameplay advantages, but you receive a unique badge on the leaderboard showing your experience.
