Gamemodes, also known as "Modes", are an optional way to play the game. As of now, there are three different gamemodes, those being Standard, Disguises, and Assassin. These modes can be switched by the player at any given time, and all the player’s data will be transferred. All gamemodes have their own separate place, but are still part of Murder Mystery 2.
Standard[]
Standard, originally known as "Classic", is the predetermined gamemode upon joining Murder Mystery 2. It features the four roles; the Innocents, the Sheriff, the Hero, and the Murderer. Players are allowed to zoom in and out, play as their own character, and use Powers, Radios, Pets, and Emotes.
Disguises[]
Disguises, originally known as "Hardcore", generally has the same basic mechanics as Standard, but the difference is that players are disguised by receiving different names based off of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet during rounds. Players’ avatars during rounds are also altered to appear similar to ensure that nobody knows who is who. Radios and Pets are not allowed, and players are locked in first person, meaning they cannot zoom in or out.
Assassin[]
Unlike Standard and Disguises where all four roles are implemented during rounds, Assassin only includes the Murderer role. All players upon the beginning of a round receive a knife, and a screen of their target appears above. They must kill their target and avoid being killed. Like Standard, players are allowed to zoom in and out, play as their own character, and use Radios, Emotes, and Pets. However, Powers are not allowed to be used in Assassin unlike the other two gamemodes.
