Key takeaways
- On PC and laptop, press 1 to hold the knife, then press E or right-click to throw it.
- On mobile and tablet, tap the throw button, then tap the player you want to hit.
- On Xbox, LB equips the knife, LT throws it and RT stabs.
- No setting is needed. Every knife throws the same way; rarity only changes how it looks.
The short answer
When you are the Murderer in Murder Mystery 2, you can stab players up close or throw your knife at them from a distance:
| Device | Hold the knife | Throw it |
|---|---|---|
| PC and laptop | Press 1 | Press E or right-click (holding left-click also throws) |
| Mobile and tablet | Tap the knife | Tap the throw button, then tap a player |
| Xbox | LB | LT (RT stabs) |
You do not need to change any setting. The throw works in every round where you are the Murderer.
How to throw the knife on PC and laptop
- Press 1 to take out your knife.
- Aim at a player with your mouse or touchpad.
- Press E or right-click to throw. Holding left-click throws too.
On a laptop without a mouse, the keyboard is enough: 1 to hold, E to throw, and the touchpad to aim.
How to throw the knife on mobile and tablet
- Tap your knife to hold it.
- Tap the throw button.
- Tap the player you want to hit. Wait until they have fully loaded: a green icon appears on them when the throw can land.
How to throw the knife on Xbox
Press LB to equip the knife, LT to throw and RT to stab. The MM2 wiki notes that a PS4 controller connected by Bluetooth does not work for this on PC.
Why your knife throw is not working
- You are not the Murderer. Only the Murderer gets a knife in a round.
- You have not equipped it. Press 1 (or LB, or tap the knife) first.
- On mobile, the target has not loaded. Wait for the green icon before you tap them.
Does a rarer knife throw better?
No. A box godly, an ancient like Icewing and the free default knife all throw and stab the same way. Rarity only changes how the knife looks, and how much it is worth in trades. See every knife ranked on the MM2 value list.
