Ready to become a blur in Murder Mystery 2 on your iPad? Mastering the "speed glitch" can give you a serious edge, whether you're trying to outrun the murderer, chase down the innocent, or simply navigate the map at lightning speed. It's a bit tricky on mobile, but with practice, you'll be zipping around like a pro!
This lengthy guide will break down the most effective speed glitch methods for iPad users in MM2, with clear, step-by-step instructions. Let's get started!
The Art of Speed: What is a Speed Glitch?
A speed glitch in MM2 involves exploiting certain game mechanics, often related to emotes and items, to temporarily increase your character's movement speed far beyond its normal limits. While some glitches are patched over time, new variations often emerge. The key is to find a combination that still works on your device and to master the timing.
Step 1: Getting Prepared – The Essential Toolkit
Before we dive into the actual glitches, let's make sure you have everything you need. This isn't just about having the right items; it's about setting up your iPad for optimal performance.
1.1 Your Device: An iPad is Your Weapon
This guide is specifically for iPad users. While some concepts might translate to other mobile devices, the touch controls and screen real estate of an iPad make certain glitches more manageable. Ensure your iPad is running smoothly with no other demanding apps in the background.
1.2 Roblox Settings: Optimize for Glitching
- Graphics Quality: Go into Roblox settings (the "Esc" menu on PC, or the Roblox icon on mobile, then the gear icon). Lower your graphics quality to manual and set it to a lower level. This reduces lag, which is crucial for precise timing in speed glitches.
- Shift Lock: This is absolutely vital. Ensure "Shift Lock Switch" is enabled in your Roblox settings. You'll be using this constantly. On iPad, Shift Lock is usually a button that appears on your screen (often in the bottom right or left corner).
- Camera Mode: While not strictly necessary for all glitches, having your camera set to "Classic" or a similar mode that allows for more control can be beneficial.
1.3 In-Game Essentials: Emotes and Items
The core of most MM2 speed glitches revolves around specific emotes and items. You might need to save up some in-game coins or Robux to acquire these, but trust me, they're worth it for the speed advantage.
- The "V Pose" Emote: This is one of the most common and effective emotes for speed glitches. If you don't have it, consider acquiring it. It's often found in the Avatar Shop.
- "Twice Like Kawan" Emote: Another popular option that's known to work well with speed glitches.
- "Flex Walk" Emote: Some players report this emote also being very effective for increased speed.
- Any Small, Equipable Item: This could be a toy, a small pet, or even certain knives. The key is that it's an item you can quickly pull out. The "Teddy Bear" is frequently mentioned as a good option due to its animation.
- (Optional) "Triple Headed Trouble" Bundle: Some advanced glitches, especially those involving "flying," are enhanced by this bundle. It's a Robux purchase, but it can significantly boost your speed glitch.
Step 2: The Core Mechanics – Understanding the "Shift-Lock Jump"
Before attempting specific speed glitches, you need to master the fundamental movement: the Shift-Lock Jump. This is the basis for almost all speed-related movements in MM2 on mobile.
2.1 Activating Shift Lock
On your iPad, you'll see a button that looks like a lock (often with an arrow or a "Shift Lock" label). Tap this to activate Shift Lock. Your camera will lock behind your character, and your character will generally face the direction you're looking.
2.2 The Basic Shift-Lock Jump
- Activate Shift Lock.
- Move Forward: Use the joystick to move your character forward (usually the "W" direction if you think in terms of PC controls).
- Jump and Deactivate: While moving forward, simultaneously tap the Jump button and deactivate Shift Lock. The timing here is crucial. You want to deactivate Shift Lock just as your character leaves the ground.
- Reactivate Shift Lock: Immediately after deactivating it, reactivate Shift Lock while still in the air.
Practice this a few times. You should notice a slight horizontal boost when you perform it correctly. This is the foundation!
Step 3: Mastering the "V Pose" Speed Glitch (The Classic Method)
This is one of the most widely used and effective speed glitches. It relies on precise timing with the "V Pose" emote and an equipable item.
3.1 Initial Setup
- Find Open Space: Go to an open area in the MM2 map where you won't hit obstacles.
- Equip Your Item: Make sure your chosen small, equipable item (like the Teddy Bear) is in your hotbar and ready to be quickly selected.
3.2 The Glitch Sequence
- Perform "V Pose" Emote: Activate the "V Pose" emote. Your character will go through an animation where they raise their arms in a "V" shape.
- Crucial Timing - Equip Item: As your character's hands are coming down (or just as they hit the ground), quickly equip your small item. This is the most critical part of the glitch. It's all about muscle memory and timing.
- Tip: Some players find success by equipping the item as soon as the emote animation starts to bend your character's body downwards.
- Activate Shift Lock: Immediately after equipping the item, activate Shift Lock.
- Jump and Deactivate/Reactivate Shift Lock: While holding forward (using the joystick), perform the Shift-Lock Jump as described in Step 2. That means:
- Jump and deactivate Shift Lock simultaneously.
- Immediately reactivate Shift Lock while still in the air.
- Maintain the Glitch: To continue the speed boost, you'll need to repeat the Shift-Lock Jump rhythmically while holding forward. You'll be tapping jump, then rapidly tapping Shift Lock off and on, all while moving. It becomes a rhythmic tap-tap-tap.
Result: If done correctly, you'll be moving significantly faster than normal, often with a slightly "gliding" or "floating" motion. It takes practice to get the timing right, so don't get discouraged!
Step 4: Exploring Other Emote Variations (The "Twice Like Kawan" / "Flex Walk" Method)
Similar to the "V Pose," other emotes can trigger speed glitches. The principle remains the same: interrupting the emote animation with an item equip and then utilizing Shift Lock jumps.
4.1 Alternative Emote Setup
- Choose Your Emote: Select either "Twice Like Kawan" or "Flex Walk" (or any other emote known to work with speed glitches).
- Prepare Item: Have your small, equipable item ready.
4.2 The Glitch Sequence for Other Emotes
- Perform Emote: Activate your chosen emote.
- Crucial Timing - Equip Item: As the emote animation reaches a point where your character's hands or feet are close to the ground or just as the main motion of the emote is finishing, quickly equip your small item. The exact timing might vary slightly depending on the emote, so experiment!
- Activate Shift Lock: Immediately after equipping the item, activate Shift Lock.
- Jump and Deactivate/Reactivate Shift Lock: While holding forward, perform the Shift-Lock Jump (jump, deactivate Shift Lock, immediately reactivate Shift Lock in air).
- Maintain Rhythm: Continue the rhythmic Shift-Lock jumps while moving forward to maintain your speed.
Experimentation is key here. Some emotes might feel more natural for your timing than others.
Step 5: Advanced Techniques – Enhancing Your Speed Glitch
Once you've got the basic speed glitch down, you can refine your technique and explore ways to maximize your speed and control.
5.1 Diagonal Movement: The Ultimate Speed Boost
This is where the "speed" in speed glitch truly shines. Moving diagonally while speed glitching can often make you even faster and allow for greater map coverage.
- How to do it: While performing any of the above speed glitches, instead of holding only "forward," hold forward and to the side (e.g., W+A or W+D if you think in PC terms, or using the joystick to point diagonally).
- Why it works: In Roblox, diagonal movement is sometimes calculated in a way that allows for slightly higher speeds when combined with certain movement glitches.
5.2 Controlling Your Momentum
Speed glitching isn't just about going fast; it's about going fast where you want to go.
- Subtle Joysticking: Make small, precise adjustments with your movement joystick to steer your character while maintaining the glitch.
- Camera Control: Use your finger to control the camera view, allowing you to see your surroundings and anticipate obstacles or other players.
- Practice with Obstacles: Try navigating tight spaces or around objects while speed glitching. This will greatly improve your control.
5.3 The "Fling" or "Long Jump" Glitch (Requires Practice)
Some glitches allow you to gain extreme distance. This often involves a similar setup but with a very specific jump and Shift Lock timing at the edge of a platform.
- Edge of a Platform: Stand right at the edge of a ledge or platform.
- Speed Glitch Prep: Perform the initial steps of a speed glitch (emote + item equip + Shift Lock).
- Jump at Edge + Unshift/Shift: Just as your character is about to fall off the edge, perform a jump. Simultaneously, rapidly un-Shift Lock and re-Shift Lock as you jump off the edge. This can sometimes "fling" you a significant distance.
- Note: This is much harder to consistently pull off on mobile and might be platform-dependent. It's often associated with more advanced glitching.
Step 6: Practice, Practice, Practice!
No speed glitch will work perfectly on your first try. The key to mastering them on iPad is consistent practice.
6.1 Start in Private Servers:
If possible, practice in a private MM2 server where you won't be interrupted by other players. This allows you to focus purely on your timing.
6.2 Experiment with Timing:
The exact moment to equip the item during an emote can be incredibly precise. Try equipping it slightly earlier, then slightly later, until you find the sweet spot that works for you.
6.3 Observe and Learn:
Watch videos of other players performing speed glitches on mobile. Pay close attention to their screen taps and character movements.
Related FAQ Questions
Here are 10 frequently asked questions about MM2 speed glitches on iPad, with quick answers:
How to know if a speed glitch is working?
You'll see your character moving significantly faster than normal, often with a slightly odd or "gliding" animation. If you're struggling, compare your speed to other players not glitching.
How to stop speed glitching?
Simply stop performing the specific sequence (like the rhythmic Shift-Lock jumps), and your character will revert to normal speed.
How to do the speed glitch without Robux?
You can perform many speed glitches without Robux. The "V Pose" emote can sometimes be obtained for free through events or may be cheaper than other items. The "Teddy Bear" item is also relatively inexpensive or free if you already have it. The key is finding an emote and a small item you can quickly equip.
How to get the "V Pose" emote?
The "V Pose" emote is usually available for purchase in the Roblox Avatar Shop. Keep an eye out for sales or events where it might be offered for free or at a reduced price.
How to get faster in MM2 without glitches?
While glitches provide extreme speed, you can still improve your speed by:
- Sticking to the edges of the map: Sometimes, running along walls can feel slightly faster due to how movement is calculated.
- Avoiding obstacles: Smooth, uninterrupted movement is always faster than constantly stopping and starting.
- Using speed-boosting pets/gear (if available): Some in-game items can give minor speed boosts.
How to use Shift Lock on iPad?
On iPad, Shift Lock appears as a button on your screen (usually a lock icon) when you are in a game that supports it (like MM2). Simply tap it to toggle it on or off.
How to practice timing for the glitch?
Practice in an empty private server. Focus on the visual cues of the emote animation and try to tap the item equip button at the exact moment you've identified as critical. Repetition builds muscle memory.
How to avoid being detected when speed glitching?
While speed glitching can be fun, be aware that some players might consider it unfair or even report you if they believe you're exploiting the game excessively. Try to use it strategically and not always obviously.
How to fix if the glitch isn't working?
- Check your settings: Ensure Shift Lock is enabled and graphics are low.
- Review your timing: The timing for equipping the item during the emote is the most common reason for failure. Adjust it slightly.
- Try a different emote/item combination: If one isn't working, a different emote or item might have a timing that's easier for you.
- Restart Roblox: Sometimes a fresh start can help resolve minor glitches.
How to use the speed glitch as a murderer or sheriff?
- As Murderer: Use it to quickly close distances, surprise innocents, or escape from the sheriff.
- As Sheriff: Use it to quickly reach the murderer, especially if they're trying to escape, or to pick up the gun from the ground faster.
- As Innocent: Essential for escaping the murderer and collecting coins efficiently.
