MM2 of The Locust Gameplay Guide: Roles, Tips, and Codes Status

MM2 of The Locust twists the familiar Murder Mystery 2 formula into a horror survival mode, swapping the usual murderer for a monster called The Locust. It’s a fan-made Pre-Alpha Roblox game by THE STALKERS OG, built on Murder Mystery 2’s classic maps and role-spin structure but reworked into something considerably tenser. As for redeem codes: there are none active right now, and no confirmed redemption system even exists in the current build.

This guide covers how the game actually plays, what to expect from each role, and where the honest line sits on codes so you’re not chasing something that isn’t there.

What Is This Game?

MM2 of The Locust isn’t made by Nikilis and isn’t part of the official Murder Mystery 2 game. It’s a separate community project that reuses Murder Mystery 2’s maps and round structure — Office, Military Base, and others — while replacing the standard murderer role with a creature called The Locust, said to originate from a different game, House of The Locust by NULLWORKS STUDIOS. The two share a monster concept but are otherwise unrelated projects built by different teams.

Because it’s Pre-Alpha, expect rough edges. Recorded matches show loading hitches, delayed avatar morphs, and bugs that can affect how a round plays out. The game is free to play, and roles are assigned randomly at the start of each round rather than purchased.

Roles and How the Round Works

This is where things get genuinely unclear, and it’s worth being upfront about it rather than picking a version and presenting it as settled fact. Two separate fan-run sources describe meaningfully different core mechanics for this game, and since there’s no official patch notes or dev blog to confirm either version, both are presented here with that caveat attached.

One account describes a three-role structure similar to mainline Murder Mystery 2: one player becomes The Locust, another is randomly assigned Sheriff, and everyone else is Innocent. In this version, the Sheriff’s job is to identify The Locust and take a single clean shot, while Innocents try to survive and can pick up a dropped gun if the Sheriff falls. A wrong shot that hits an Innocent can flip the round in unpredictable ways.

A separate account describes something closer to a pure survival mode: only two outcomes exist, The Locust or Innocent, with no Sheriff, no weapon, and no way to kill The Locust at all. In this version, the only goal for Innocents is to survive a timer — reported at around five minutes in recorded rounds — while The Locust hunts using a heartbeat cue that intensifies as it closes in. The Locust wins if everyone dies before time runs out; Innocents win if the timer expires with at least one survivor, or if The Locust’s energy meter runs empty.

Given the game is actively changing in Pre-Alpha, it’s plausible both descriptions are accurate at different points in development, or that the mechanic varies by map or game mode. Until an official source clarifies which is current, treat both as possible and adjust your strategy once you see how your own match plays out.

General Survival Tips

A few tips hold up across both described versions of the game. Switch to third-person view for general movement and only drop into first-person for close, deliberate encounters, since the wider view makes it easier to track The Locust’s position. On rooftop or open-block maps, avoid standing near ledges or gaps, since The Locust has been shown to knock players off elevated positions in a single animation. In tighter hallway sections, moving quietly rather than sprinting matters more, since audio cues appear to play a bigger role in how The Locust locates targets in those spaces.

Coins collected during matches go toward cosmetics and reported future equipment upgrades. They don’t revive you or affect the outcome of a round, so don’t treat coin collection as a priority over just surviving.

MM2 of The Locust Codes: Current Status

There are no working codes for this game as of this writing. Multiple recorded playthroughs and fan trackers confirm no code redemption screen has appeared in the game at all, meaning there isn’t yet a confirmed place to even enter a code if one were released. This is consistent with the game’s Pre-Alpha status — reward and monetization systems are typically among the last things added during early development.

If you’re instead looking for the mainline Nikilis Murder Mystery 2, that game has also had no verified active codes for the entirety of 2025 into 2026, so neither the horror spinoff nor the original game currently has anything to redeem.

How to Get Updates on New Codes or Features

Since this game doesn’t have an established news channel the way larger Roblox games do, the most reliable option right now is checking its official Roblox page directly for description updates, which is where the developer has previously posted notes about upcoming maps and equipment. If a Discord server or social account gets set up for the game, that would likely become the faster source for any future code announcements.
