For many MM2 players, messing with friends is almost as fun as winning rounds. The video this article is based on shows a long chain of stream-sniping trolls, last-second jukes, bodyguard strategies, and pure chaotic energy that only Murder Mystery 2 can provide. Watching the creator repeatedly sneak into Ary’s server, confuse him, expose him, and even freeze his screen gave me a lot of ideas for fun (and harmless) tricks that regular players can try too.
What stood out to me is how each troll wasn’t just for laughs—many of the tactics actually translate into surprisingly effective in-game strategies. In this article, I’ll break down the best moments and the gameplay lessons behind them.
Following as Innocent: A Simple but Effective Mind Game
One of the first tricks shown is unbelievably simple: follow the Sheriff as an innocent just long enough to make them paranoid. Most Sheriffs—especially while streaming—tend to assume anyone tailing them is suspicious. The video shows Ary panicking almost instantly, threatening to shoot whoever follows him for “too long.”
Even though this moment is mostly comedy, the tactic itself works well in real matches. If you want to apply light pressure on the Sheriff or distract them long enough for the real murderer to strike, harmless tailing can be surprisingly effective.
And speaking of experimenting with strategies, some players like to improve their inventories over time—especially before trying mind-game tactics like this. I’ve seen some players mention places where they buy MM2 items to stay better equipped for competitive lobbies, but that’s totally optional depending on your playstyle.
The Classic “Call Out the Murderer” Chaos Strategy
Another early-game troll involved exposing Ary as murderer the moment the round began. Even though Ary kept insisting he was innocent, the entire lobby started reacting, which threw him off so badly that he started chasing the wrong people.
This moment shows how powerful information control is in MM2. If you can convince enough players to move in a certain way—rushing stairs, spreading across rooms, grouping near vents—you can change the entire pace of the round. Even if you’re wrong about who the murderer is, you can still use the panic to position yourself safely or bait the real murderer into making a mistake.
For players who want to build a more intimidating presence in a lobby, some choose to buy mm2 guns and knives to create a visually strong loadout. It doesn’t give gameplay advantages, but it does make people take you more seriously when you call out roles. Again, this is purely cosmetic and depends on whether you enjoy collecting gear or not.
Using Access and Freezing Screens: High-Level Troll Tactics
One of the funniest moments is when the creator freezes Ary’s keyboard while Ary is murderer. He genuinely thinks his game is breaking, which throws his entire round off. Obviously most players can’t freeze their friend’s PC, but this moment still teaches something useful: disrupting the murderer—even with simple movement patterns—can completely break their rhythm.
If you can:
jump-bait strafe unpredictably force them into tight corridors loop around pillars
—you can cause the murderer to waste valuable time. Panic is one of the strongest tools in MM2, and this video proves it.
Juking and Corner Tricks: Winning Even When Outmatched
One theme throughout the video is juking. Whenever the creator is chased, they use corners, split hallways, window drops, and unexpected turns to confuse Ary. A lot of beginner players forget how strong movement is in MM2, especially when the murderer is overly aggressive.
Small tips I pulled from the gameplay:
Change directions near doorways. Stand still for half a second—then sprint away. Cut corners tightly using shift-lock. Run toward the murderer first, then dodge sideways.
These micro-movements create those “How did he escape?” moments that drive murderers crazy.
The Bodyguard Strategy: Turning a Server Into a Shield
The second half of the video shifts into a whole new experiment: filling the server with bodyguards. Some bodyguards protect the creator, some pretend to protect Ary, and others secretly act as murderers. The result is nonstop confusion.
What’s interesting is that this scenario unintentionally teaches a real gameplay lesson: grouping with teammates dramatically increases your survival odds. Even without “assigned bodyguards,” sticking close to a coordinated trio of players gives you more vision, more reaction time, and more ways to predict danger.
The funniest moment is when a bodyguard pretends to protect Ary but later reveals that he’s actually the murderer. Ary trusts him completely—then instantly regrets it. It’s chaotic, but it shows how MM2 social dynamics can flip at any moment.
Subtle Chat Trolling: Knowledge as a Weapon
Near the end, the creator starts mentioning Ary’s real-life pet names in the chat while pretending to be a stranger. This freaks Ary out more than anything else in the video. Again, most players won’t be trolling their friends at this level, but the idea behind it is useful:
If you understand how another player reacts to pressure—nervous, aggressive, defensive—you can use that during tense rounds.
MM2 is as much a psychological game as it is a mechanical one. The creator shows this constantly.
What makes this video so entertaining is that every troll carries a small lesson for regular MM2 players. Whether it’s using movement to survive, manipulating the lobby with chat, distracting the Sheriff, or coordinating with teammates, these moments show how much depth there really is in Murder Mystery 2. Even silly or chaotic tactics can become real survival strategies when used at the right moment.
