Bad Guy Mystery Bad Guy Role Guide
Clear the lobby before the gun or the timer does it for them.
Bad Guy is the hunter card. You receive a throwable and a win condition that sounds simple: eliminate everyone. In this place the throw is a skill check, the Protector is a hard counter, and the timer is a third enemy. This page is the role sheet. The mechanical guide is how to win as Bad Guy.
What the card is asking
Blend for a few seconds, isolate one player, throw from a gap, then hunt the gun. If you treat the first ten seconds like a montage, a patient Protector will delete you. If you treat the whole round like a stealth film, the timer will save the Good Guys. Alternate pressure and disguise.
Do not announce the role. Do not wind up in the open. Do not stand inside a target and spam click. The slap is loud; the miss is louder in your own head.
Tools
Your cosmetic throw is listed on the items page and ranked on the weapon tier list. Stick and Brick are easy to read. Soft props hesitate some players. None of them remove the mid-range rule.
Perks: Peekaboo when the Protector reveals, Snitch when the last campers vanish, Sugar Rush when a whiff needs a second approach. The perk planner is the buy order. Dual Wield is a pose. Double Candy is a farm. Neither is a hunter stat. See gamepasses.
How the other cards beat you
Good Guys who spread deny you a bowling lane. Good Guys who listen to slaps stop peeking your corner. Protectors who hide the gun force you to create a reveal. Learn those habits from their pages so you stop being surprised by them.
A dropped gun is an opportunity and a trap. Camping it in the most obvious doorway is how a backup Good Guy becomes a hero. Watch both approaches or leave.
Mentality
This role is supposed to feel harder than a classic knife. The review says so because players keep asking. If you want an easier hunter fantasy, you want a different place. If you want to win here, you want spacing reps, not a script. The scripts hub will still list the loaders people search; it will also tell you the ban risk.
Take the next Bad Guy card. Throw from a step away. Hunt the gun. Leave the timer with fewer names than you started. That is the role.
A practice block that does not need a crate
Spend one session ignoring cosmetics. Equip the Stick because you can see it. Take every Bad Guy card you are given and play only for spacing: one isolate, one gap throw, one relocation. If you get the gun holder, stop and note whether you saw the weapon before they fired. That note is worth more than a Duck. The round checklist is the timer for this drill. The perk planner is what you open only after the drill, when Candy is actually enough for Peekaboo.
If a friend says the role is broken, send them this page and one clip of a point-blank whiff. The place is working as designed. Your feet were too close.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What does the Bad Guy win?
The round, if every other player is eliminated before the Protector shot or the timer.
Why is Bad Guy harder than MM2 Murderer?
Throws miss at point-blank range more often than a classic knife, so spacing is mandatory.
Should I buy Dual Wield for this role?
Only as a cosmetic. It does not fix whiffs.
Which perk is for Bad Guy?
Peekaboo for gun reveals, then Snitch for last hides.
Should I announce that I am the Bad Guy as a joke?
No. The card is hidden for a reason. Announcing it hands the Protector a free shot and wastes the blend the role needs.
