How MM2 Trading Works and How to Avoid Scams

Updated 2026-10-26 · 4 min read

Trading is how most Murder Mystery 2 players get the knives and guns they really want. Sadly, it's also where scammers hang out, so knowing how trading works is the best way to keep your inventory safe.

Trading basics

Who can trade

Your account has to reach a minimum level in MM2 before you can trade. At the time of writing, that's level 10, a rule added to fight duping. If trading doesn't work for you yet, keep playing rounds to level up.

What can be traded

You can trade weapons (knives and guns), pets and some other items. Effects, emotes and radios can't be traded.

How to start a trade

Open the player list in the top-right corner of the screen.
Click the player's name and choose Trade.
They get a request and can accept or decline it.
If they accept, the trade window opens with your inventory on one side and both offers on the other.
Add your items, check theirs and press accept when you're happy.

Every time an item is added or changed, a short timer runs before anyone can accept. Use that time to read the final offer, including item names and tiers, carefully.

If you just want to play, you can turn off incoming trade requests on most devices.

Trading servers

Some community value sites run private trading servers where players meet just to trade. Coins don't spawn there and you don't earn XP.

Before you accept any trade

Check a recent value list for every item on both sides.
Look at demand and stability, not just the number.
Make sure every item's name and tier match what you expect. A Chroma and the regular version of the same Godly can look alike at a quick glance.
Don't let anyone rush you. A good trade will still be a good trade a minute from now.

Common MM2 scams

Trust trades ("you go first")

The scammer asks you to give your item first and promises to send theirs in a second trade. Once they have yours, they leave or block you. Everything should happen in one trade window, at the same time. Never trust trade.

Fake middlemen

For big trades, a scammer may suggest a "middleman" who holds both items. Often the middleman is the scammer's friend, a second account or someone using a name copied from a well-known trader. Skip middlemen unless you truly know them, and check usernames letter by letter.

Lending and "let me try it"

Someone asks to borrow your knife to "test it" or "show a friend." Lent items almost never come back. Don't lend your items to anyone.

Duping offers

Anyone who says they can duplicate your item just wants you to hand it over, and then they're gone.

Codes and gift cards

Scammers offer "codes" for Godlies or gift cards in exchange for real items. The code turns out to be fake or already used. Don't trade your items for codes.

Lying about values

Some players claim your item is "crashing" or theirs is "about to go up" to trick you into a bad deal. Check a value list yourself instead of trusting chat.

Off-platform payments

Be very careful with strangers who want you to pay outside the game, for example through payment apps, gift cards or "send Robux first" deals. If the item never shows up, there's usually nobody who can help you get your money back.

Protecting your account

The worst scams don't go after one item. They go after your whole account.

Never share your password, not with friends, not with "staff" and not with a trader who says they need it to "verify" something. Roblox staff and real shops never need it.
Never share your cookies or browser data. Scammers may ask you to paste code into your browser, send them a file from your Roblox folder or copy something from your browser settings. These tricks can hand over your logged-in account.
Don't download "dupe" or "exploit" tools. They often hide malware that steals logins.
Turn on 2-step verification in your Roblox security settings.
Only log in on the real Roblox website or app, never through a link from chat or a "free Godly" giveaway page.

Buying instead of trading

If you buy an item instead of trading for it, the same safety rules apply. A shop such as GetPets delivers your item through the normal in-game trade window and only needs your Roblox username, never your password. If anyone from any site asks for your login, stop right there.

If you get scammed

Report the player with Roblox's built-in report tool and block them.
If you shared any login details, change your password right away and turn on 2-step verification.
Tell a parent or guardian, especially if money was involved.
Ignore anyone who offers to "recover" your items for a fee. That's just another scam.

Slow down, check values and keep everything inside the trade window, and your inventory will stay yours.
