Summary:
Murder Mystery 2 is still plagued by frustrating bugs affecting effects, weapons, pets, Chromas, hitboxes, and collectibles. With Season 2 reportedly approaching, players are hoping Nikilis will finally fix some of MM2’s longest-running glitches and improve the experience for both veterans and new players.
Murder Mystery 2 Still Has a Major Bug Problem
Murder Mystery 2 has remained one of Roblox’s most popular games, but its popularity has not stopped players from encountering frustrating bugs and glitches. Some problems are minor visual issues, while others can directly affect gameplay, trading, collecting Murder Mystery 2 Items, and even the ability to properly use certain items.
With Nikilis teasing what could become the biggest MM2 update yet, many players are hoping that the upcoming Season 2 will finally address some of these long-standing problems.
Players recently shared more than 100 bug reports and suggestions, highlighting just how many issues the community wants fixed. While there are too many problems to cover individually, several stand out as particularly frustrating.
1. Broken OG Effects Are Hurting Collectors
One of the biggest problems involves older MM2 effects. Many classic effects no longer display their original animations or visual effects correctly.
This is especially disappointing for veteran players who spent considerable time collecting rare effects. Instead of seeing the detailed animations they originally unlocked, players may see only small particles, simple auras, or incomplete textures.
The Vampire effect from 2020, for example, is supposed to feature a distinctive red border around the equipped knife. Instead, the effect can appear as nothing more than several red circles.
Other older effects reportedly suffer from similar problems. Snowfall, Phantom, Jingle, and Hallow's Blade are examples where important visual elements are missing or significantly reduced.
For collectors, these aren't simply cosmetic problems. The visual identity of these older effects is part of what makes them valuable and memorable.
2. Turkey + Dual Wield Can Break the Game
Another particularly strange MM2 glitch involves the popular Turkey knife and Dual Wield effect combination.
When players equip the two together, the character can reportedly be launched out of the map. That makes the combination practically unusable during normal Murder Mystery rounds.
What's frustrating is that this issue has reportedly existed for a long time. Dual Wield is one of the most recognizable effects in MM2, while Turkey is also a fan-favorite knife. Players should be able to combine popular items without worrying about being instantly thrown out of the map.
Fixing this interaction should therefore be an easy candidate for the Season 2 bug-fix list.
3. Four Pets Are Still Untradeable
Trading is a major part of the MM2 community, making inventory-related bugs especially important.
Four pets have reportedly become untradeable:
Santa 2019
Bunny
Snowman
Ghosty
According to the provided community explanation, the problem may be connected to how these pets are identified internally. Their code names may overlap with names used by other items, potentially causing the trading system to treat them incorrectly.
If that's the real cause, updating their internal identifiers could potentially solve the issue.
For collectors who have owned these pets for years, restoring their trading functionality would be a welcome change.
4. Chroma Toggle Textures Are Broken
Chroma weapons are another major source of visual bugs.
The Chroma Toggle feature was introduced to help players deal with potential performance problems caused by animated Chroma effects. Instead of displaying the constantly changing Chroma appearance, the toggle provides a more static texture.
However, newer Chromas reportedly don't always have properly configured toggle textures.
Some newer weapons may display an incorrect rainbow texture, while others can show textures belonging to completely different items. Chroma Heart Wand, for example, has reportedly displayed a texture associated with another Chroma weapon.
This makes the feature look unfinished and can be particularly noticeable to players who collect newer Chroma items.
5. Chroma Pets and Other Chroma Items Have Visual Problems
The Chroma problems don't stop with weapons.
Chroma pets can also have broken textures, while some newer Chroma items reportedly suffer from incorrect positioning when displayed on a player's back or hip.
Although some issues were partially improved after a previous update, certain items can still appear incorrectly when they aren't actively equipped.
For a game where rare items and their appearance are such a major part of the experience, these visual problems are worth addressing.
6. Some Chroma Items Are Missing Images
Another strange issue involves certain Chroma items not displaying proper inventory images.
When players open their inventory, an item without a correct icon can immediately look unfinished or confusing. This is especially problematic for collectors who frequently organize and compare large inventories.
A missing icon might seem like a small problem, but when combined with dozens of other visual glitches, it contributes to the perception that MM2 needs a serious cleanup.
7. New Items Can Have Incorrect Placement
Some recently released weapons and items reportedly have incorrect positioning when displayed on a character's body.
Although the items may look normal while being used as a Murderer or Sheriff, their back or hip placement can appear distorted.
These bugs don't necessarily prevent players from completing a match, but they make inventories and character customization look less polished.
8. Trophy Effects and Sound Effects Can Be Missing
Certain newer trophies have also reportedly experienced missing visual or audio features.
One example involves the Red Snow Cannon, which reportedly lacks its intended red trail. Custom sound effects can also fail to work properly.
These problems are particularly noticeable because special trails and sounds are often designed to make limited or collectible items stand out.
9. Mystery Boxes Need Better Ownership Indicators
Another frustrating issue affects Mystery Boxes.
Older versions of the game reportedly made it easier for collectors to identify which items they already owned. An ownership indicator allowed players to quickly determine whether they had already collected something.
Without a clear ownership symbol, collectors have to repeatedly check their inventory manually.
For players attempting to complete entire Mystery Boxes, this creates unnecessary extra work and makes collecting less convenient.
10. Dead Player Hitboxes Can Block Knives
Finally, one gameplay-related issue involves dead players' hitboxes.
After a player dies, their hitbox can reportedly become unusually large. When a Murderer throws a knife near a dead body, the knife may collide with the invisible hitbox and stop in midair.
This can become particularly frustrating in crowded rounds or one-on-one situations where multiple dead bodies are scattered around the map.
Because knife throwing is such an important part of Murderer gameplay, inconsistent hitboxes can directly affect competitive matches.
Will MM2 Season 2 Finally Fix These Bugs?
The community clearly has a long list of problems it wants addressed. With more than 100 bug suggestions already being discussed, expectations for the next major update are understandably high.
The most important fixes should arguably focus on problems that affect gameplay, trading, and long-term collectibles. Broken OG effects, untradeable pets, the Turkey and Dual Wield interaction, Chroma issues, cheap Murder Mystery 2 Items, and oversized dead-player hitboxes are all strong candidates.
Murder Mystery 2 Season 2 could be an important opportunity for Nikilis to clean up years of accumulated bugs. New content is always exciting, but fixing existing problems could make an even bigger difference for the game's longtime community.
If even some of these issues are finally resolved, Season 2 could deliver not only new content, but also a much smoother and more polished MM2 experience.
