The Sheriff and Murderer aren't the only personalities that matter in MM2! From the lobby NPCs who've been around since the early days to the various character models and their distinctive features, there's more to recognize than just who's holding the knife.
How Murder Mystery 2 Works
Murder Mystery 2 assigns players one of three roles each round: Innocent, Sheriff, or Murderer. Innocents survive, the Sheriff eliminates the Murderer, and the Murderer kills everyone before being caught. Trading knife and gun cosmetics is a major part of the long-term game.
