Overview: what Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels is
The game is made by MVS Duels Community, a verified Roblox group with 3,376,363 members as of October 11, 2026. It was created on February 9, 2025, holds 30 players per server, and had 1,908,402,261 visits and 16,710,875 favorites when we read Roblox's games API on October 11. Roblox files it under Action, in the Battlegrounds & Fighting subgenre.
The game description is short. It opens with "Welcome to [DUELS] Murderers VS Sheriffs", gives the goal as "Duel, improve your aim and have fun", and warns that "Exploits or cheating of any kind is bannable". The pumpkin in the name is a seasonal touch; a search snippet of the game page shows the name with a galaxy emoji instead.
Watch out for look-alikes. Other Roblox games use almost the same name, including "Murderers VS Sheriffs DUELS" by RED21 Games and a "Murderers VS Sheriffs" from the Murderers VS Sheriffs Group. This guide is only about the MVS Duels Community game. An unofficial fan wiki says of the related titles: "They are three separate Roblox games in the same family."

Analysis: how a Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels match works
The game page does not explain the rules beyond the team sizes, so this part comes from the unofficial fan wiki at murderersvssheriffs.wiki. We could not confirm who runs it.
The format. The wiki describes "fast knife-and-gun duels from 1v1 up to 4v4, where the first side to five round wins takes the match". Its beginner guide puts it in one line: "Every MVSD match is a race to five round wins." It also says "You queue into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4", one more size than the game page lists.
Your tools. Each round you get "a knife (melee plus a throwable) and a gun", per the wiki. It calls the throw "the highest-skill, highest-reward tool."
Fair fights. The wiki says "there are no stat advantages anywhere in the game", and that "every weapon skin is cosmetic and deals identical damage". If that holds, a new player is not behind on damage, only on practice.
How it feels next to MM2. One r/MurderMystery2 thread compares the two. Its poster asked why "Shooting in MM2 never feels like it's shooting where my crosshair is, compared to a game like Murderers vs Sheriffs Duels" (Reddit, May 29, 2026). A reply said MM2's gun "shoots like a sniper, just without the bullet drop" (Reddit, May 29).

Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels tips for your first matches
- Start with 1v1. The game page leads with "1vs1", and with no teammates, it is easier to see what went wrong in a round.
- Practice the throw. The fan wiki rates the knife throw as the highest-reward tool, so try it in low-stakes rounds.
- Ignore skins at first. Per the wiki, skins are cosmetic and deal the same damage.
- Spend gems carefully. The wiki says "Gems come from playing rounds and redeeming codes." Its suggestion for a first buy: "Sprint (3,750 gems) is the safest first purchase", which gives "a +50% speed burst". It lists "Dash (2,500 gems)", noting "Combat is disabled mid-dash". These prices come from the wiki as of October 17, 2026, not from the developer, and can change.
- Play fair. The page is clear that cheating "is bannable".
Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels Halloween, codes and safety
The October event. An event listing titled "GIFTS+INFECTION", with the subtitle "New Items!", ran from 20:00 UTC on October 10 to 20:00 UTC on October 17, 2026. It advertised a "LIMITED-TIME DUSKWING BUNDLE" with the "Duskwing Fang Knife and Duskwing Shot Gun", an "INFECTION LTM" ("Jump into the new Infection game mode"), and "3 NEW HALLOWEEN GIFTS": "Stitched Up Gift", "Purrfect Gift" and "Gift of the Eye". The listing said "Spend your Pumpkins to collect three mysterious gifts!" and "All gifts open on October 31st." Two listings replaced it at 20:00 UTC on October 17, both running to 20:00 UTC on October 24. "PUMPKING BUNDLE" is a "New limited time bundle available only for this week". "LIMITED CRATES+MORE" adds two crates. The Infection Crate is paid with Infected Coins earned in Infection and gives "a chance to unlock" one of six weapons. The Autumn Crate is paid with coins and promises "seasonal rewards, including two Ancients". The same listing adds crosshair settings.

Codes. We checked the game description and the MVS Duels Community group on October 17, 2026. The group description reads "Welcome to the MVS Duels Community!" and its shout was empty; neither listed a code. Roblox would not show us the game's social links without a login. A site called mvsduels.com says "The Official MVS Duels Website Is Live", but no Roblox page we could read links to it, so we do not treat it as a developer channel. The block below is empty for that reason.
Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels codes
Last checked , from the game description and the MVS Duels Community group.
Oct172026
No active codes: the developer listed none when we checked on Oct 17, 2026.
"New" means we first saw the code on the developer's channel in the last 7 days. We copy codes from the developer and do not test them in game. No code gives free Robux. Codes for every game we track.
Safety. Roblox labels the game Mild, the second of its four labels, with one descriptor: "Violence (Repeated/Mild)". Roblox describes Mild as "May contain repeated mild violence, heavy unrealistic blood, mild crude humor, and/or repeated mild fear." This week's listings advertise a limited-time bundle and two weapon crates, and the Infection Crate only gives "a chance" at each weapon. Roblox's Parental Controls say "You can set a monthly spending limit on how much money your child can spend on Roblox, including Robux or subscriptions to individual games." Players also trade items: the fan wiki tells traders to "compare both sides against a value list". Talk with a child about trades before they make one.

Our take
Based on the game page, Roblox's label and the fan wiki cited above, Murderers VS Sheriffs Duels is about aim and practice: short rounds, a knife and a gun, a race to five, and, per the wiki, no stat advantages. Start in 1v1, learn the throw, and leave skins and trading for later. Parents should note the Mild label for repeated violence and the limited-time bundles and crates in events. If your child likes quick PvP, our RIVALS guide covers another top duel game.
