Sharpen Your Aim and Timing

The Sheriff’s power is all about accuracy. If you miss, you give away your position and risk getting sliced before you can reload. Practice shooting at moving targets in custom lobbies or with friends to improve your reflexes. Stay calm under pressure — panic shots rarely hit the mark.

Keep your crosshair at head level and be ready to react if you see suspicious behavior. Wait for the Murderer to make their move; don’t reveal your gun too early. A good Sheriff knows the difference between a false alarm and a real threat.

Timing is everything. If you see the knife, line up your shot quickly but carefully — a single well-placed bullet is all you need. Play on maps with clear sightlines if you’re still building confidence. Open spaces like Factory or Biolab are great for practicing long shots.

Position Yourself Like a Pro

Positioning is what separates a beginner Sheriff from an expert. Stay in open areas where you have room to dodge and aim. Avoid tight spaces where the Murderer can ambush you. Watch chokepoints and doorways — these are prime spots for the Murderer to attack.

Always keep your back to a wall if possible, so you’re not surprised from behind. Move constantly but stay alert; standing still too long makes you an easy target. Rotate between vantage points to keep the Murderer guessing.

If you’re the last Innocent left, stay calm. Many Sheriffs lose rounds because they panic. Use corners and obstacles to peek safely, forcing the Murderer to make a risky charge. One slip-up from them means a win for you.

Master the Mind Games

The best Sheriffs know the game is psychological. The Murderer will try to act innocent until it’s too late. Watch for players who follow others closely, move erratically, or linger near bodies without reporting.

Sometimes, showing your gun can scare the Murderer into playing more cautiously. Use this to gather clues about who’s acting suspicious. But don’t show off too early — if you reveal your role before you’re sure, you become the #1 target.

Work with other Innocents. If you see them panic-running from someone, they may have seen the knife. Position yourself to back them up and line up your shot. Smart teamwork and good hiding spots help keep you alive while you wait for the right moment.

• Keep your gun hidden until you have a clear shot.
• Stay mobile and unpredictable so you’re harder to target.
• Learn each map’s open areas and chokepoints.
• Trust your instincts — but don’t rush your shot.

Carry the Round Like a True Sheriff

Mastering the Sheriff role takes patience, practice, and nerves of steel. Every missed shot is a lesson that makes you better. With each round, your aim and positioning will sharpen until you can handle any Murderer who dares come your way.
