How Do Weapons Work in Murder Mystery 2? Godly Tiers and How to Get Them

Knives are used by the Murderer or Assassin, while guns are used by the Sheriff - and an Innocent who picks up a fallen Sheriff's gun can become a Hero.

If the Sheriff shoots an Innocent, both the Sheriff and the Innocent die; shooting the Murderer ends the round in victory for the Sheriff and Innocents.

Weapons are obtained by unboxing boxes costing 1,000 coins, a key purchasable for 125 gems, or 100 gems; also through crafting from salvaged weapons, holiday event unboxing and trading.

Knives: the Murderer's tool

Knives are melee weapons used by the Murderer or Assassin to eliminate a target, either by throwing the knife or using it directly.

The category is broader than the name suggests: weapons such as the Saw, Candy, Battle Axe, Pixel, Spider and Clockwork are all still considered knives or melee weapons.

That matters for trading and collecting, because two items that look entirely different can sit in the same functional tier.

Controls differ by platform, with separate computer, mobile and console schemes for the same actions.

Guns: the Sheriff's answer

Guns are projectile-based weapons used by the Sheriff to eliminate the Murderer.

Throughout the game's history guns have been present in all game modes except Assassin, and they are effectively the only way for Innocents to survive and win a round.

To use one, hold it out and click or tap a target, which creates a trail from the gun to the clicked point along with revolver and reload sound effects.

If the Sheriff dies, their gun floats over the spot with a green particle effect to indicate it can be picked up - an Innocent who stands on it picks it up and becomes a Hero.

If the Sheriff shoots an Innocent, both die; if the Sheriff shoots the Murderer, confetti bursts from the body and the round is declared a victory for the Sheriff and Innocents.

How you actually get weapons

Unboxing is the main route: boxes cost 1,000 coins, a key (purchasable for 125 gems) or 100 gems.

Crafting is a second route, using salvaged weapons to build new ones.

Holiday events add their own unboxing pools, which is how seasonal weapons enter the game.

Trading lets you exchange weapons with other players for more desirable ones.

Limited unique weapons - also known as trophies - are obtained from events if you finish in the top 100 on a leaderboard.

What 'godly' really means

Each knife or gun has a different value, and a weapon generally becomes more valuable the higher its tier sits.

But that is not always the case: very rare non-godlies can outvalue some godlies depending on how rare the knife is.

High-value knives below godly tier are called collectibles, and those collectibles can be several times rarer than godlies.

That distinction is the single most common source of bad trades - a player sees 'godly' and assumes it beats everything below it.

There are currently 8 rarity types in the game, plus 2 item types that have abilities attached.

Holiday weapons and why they hold value

Holiday weapons live on a different page of the inventory from classic and Season 1 weapons.

They are obtainable at Christmas and Halloween, and are usually worth more than classic or Season 1 weapons because they are only available for a limited time.

That limited window is the main driver of their value - supply stops while demand does not.

If a holiday weapon is on your list, the cheapest time to get it is during its own event rather than afterwards in a trade.

Rarities, item types and inventory pages

There are currently 8 rarity types in Murder Mystery 2, which is what the tier list actually measures.

Separately there are 2 item types - items with abilities that function during a round - so a weapon can be valuable for its effect as well as its rarity.

Holiday weapons sit on a different inventory page from classic and Season 1 weapons, which makes collections harder to compare at a glance.

Trophy weapons from leaderboard finishes do not come from unboxing at all, so they are absent from any box-odds calculation.

Crafting from salvaged weapons is the one route that turns unwanted duplicates into progress rather than coin flips.

How to avoid bad trades

Value in Murder Mystery 2 is decided by the community's tier list rather than by the rarity label alone, which is why the same godly can move up or down over time.

Check whether a knife is a collectible before assuming a godly beats it: collectibles sit below godly tier but can be several times rarer.

Holiday weapons are usually worth more than classic or Season 1 equivalents because their supply ended when the event did.

Trophies from top-100 leaderboard finishes are limited unique weapons, so they never appear in box odds and cannot be re-obtained by unboxing.

Because crafting consumes salvaged weapons, it is the one conversion that reliably turns duplicates into something new rather than into another gamble.
