“Rare” is an MM2 item category, but it does not mean every blue-tier weapon has a high trading price. Many current-box Rares have little standalone value, while older Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s, and promotional items can be valuable because their supply is permanently limited. For lower-value trade adds, compare the Uncommon values and Common values lists too.
The list below separates Rare items by trading tier and shows their current value, demand, rarity, origin, and availability. Confirm the exact gun or knife version before trading because items with similar names can have different histories and prices.

MM2 Rare Values FAQ
Why can an old Rare be worth more than a Legendary?
The blue Rare label does not place a fixed ceiling on value. An old event Rare can have a permanently limited supply and active collector demand, while a current-box Legendary item may be easy to obtain. Traders therefore compare the history, availability and demand of the exact item rather than assuming every Legendary must be worth more.
Why is Cane Knife (2018) valuable?
Cane Knife (2018) was a Tier 30 reward from the 2018 Christmas event and can now be obtained only through trading. Its limited event supply and collector demand give it much more value than an ordinary box Rare. Check the full item name carefully because Cane Knife (2018), Cane 2018 (Gun) and the older Cane gun and knife are different items.
Are current-box Rare items useful as trade adds?
Yes, but their individual value is usually small because players can still obtain many of them from boxes. Several Rares may help balance a close offer, especially for beginner trades, but quantity does not automatically create strong demand. Compare the requested add with current Rare and Uncommon values instead of counting every item as equal.
How do I confirm the correct Rare gun or knife before trading?
Match the complete name, item type, image, event year and origin shown on this page with the weapon inside the trade window. Similar names can belong to separate gun and knife versions with very different values. If a year appears in the name, confirm it as well; never rely only on the colour or the first word of the item name.
“Rare” does not mean expensive
Rare is the blue tier in Murder Mystery 2, and the name is misleading. The blue label does not place a fixed ceiling on value — and it does not guarantee one either. Many current-box Rares have little standalone value, because anyone can still unbox them. At the same time, an old event Rare can be worth more than a Legendary, because its supply is permanently limited and collectors are still looking for it. As the FAQ on this page explains, traders compare the history, availability and demand of the exact item rather than assuming every Legendary must be worth more than every Rare.
Which Rares actually hold value
The Rares that hold value are almost always the ones that stopped being obtainable. Older Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s and promotional items can be valuable precisely because no more copies are entering the game. One example named on this page is Cane Knife (2018), a Tier 30 reward from a 2018 event — its value comes from its age, its fixed supply and its collector following, not from its blue label. When you are judging a Rare, ask three questions: when did it stop being available, how many players still want one, and is it part of a set collectors are completing. If the answers are “long ago”, “plenty” and “yes”, the item is worth a closer look.
Trading tips for Rare items
First, confirm the exact gun or knife version before trading, because items with similar names can have different histories and prices. Second, use Rares for what they are good at: trade adds. A Rare with modest value and steady demand is often more useful as the small item that closes a deal than as the centrepiece of one. For lower-value trade adds, compare the Uncommon values and Common values lists too, so you know what your add is really worth. Third, do not throw old event Rares away as worthless. Check the list on this page before discarding anything from a past event — a retired Rare sitting in your inventory may be the item another trader has been looking for, and its value only becomes clear when you look it up by name and year.
