The purpose of this suggestion is to give players more freedom in weapon choice for specific roles when creating custom rulesets for swarm games
As we know, swarms are coming to the Hive soon, and with it, private swarm games. Players can create custom rulesets for these games, and I think that they bring out opportunity for a lot of new gamemodes. In Murder Mystery, there are different roles that get different weapons, and I think that there is potential in being able to change the weapons those roles can have.
How It Works
In the settings page for Murder Mystery swarm games, there will be an option labeled Weapons. Upon selecting it, you will have four options:
- Innocents - Change the weapon selection for innocents
- Sheriff - Change the weapon selection for the sheriff
- Murderer - Change the weapon selection for the murderer
- Back - Takes you back to the main page
Changing Weapons
Upon selecting one of the classes, you are taken to a page with the weapons available to that role by default. So, for example, innocents would have a one-shot zapper at 10 coins. The options on that page are:
- [Clicking a selected weapon] - Allows you to edit which weapon it is, and what number of coins you receive it at
- Add New Weapon - Allows you to add a new weapon to a class
Adding Weapons
When adding a weapon, you will first pick the weapon:
- One Shot Zapper
- Sherriff Zapper
- Knife
- Throwable
- One Shot Throwable (a new one, represented by an end crystal)
Then, you will pick the coin requirement. The only limitation is that it must be below 50 coins.
Other Limitations
-
Each role has a maximum of 5 weapons slots
-
The Sherriff and Murderer must have a weapon that is either a Sherriff Zapper, Knife, Or Throwable. The Murderer must have it at 0 coins.
-
A One Shot Zapper can be received multiple times, but cannot be received after getting a Sheriff Zapper. The same relationship applies to the Throwable and One Shot Throwable
Ideas
Share yours too!

Innocents get a bow every 10 coins
Reverse Roles @SlimeGuy6675
The Murderer gets a Sherriff Zapper, The Sherriff Gets a knife and throwable, and innocents get a One Shot Throwable at 10 coins.
