Is the Reaver knife rare in Murder Mystery 2?
Yes, the Reaver knife is undisputedly one of the rarest and most coveted knife skins in all of Murder Mystery 2 (MM2). Originally released during the limited-time 2021 Halloween Event, only a few thousand players were able to obtain the Reaver knife by purchasing an exclusive gamepass for 1,699 Robux.
Due to its extremely limited availability and one-of-a-kind evolution mechanic, Reaver knives remain very scarce in circulation over a year later. Owners can command exorbitant prices upwards of $200 – $300 for accounts with Reaver knives. So in the MM2 knife skin hierarchy, Reaver clearly stands out as a ultra rare prize.
Tracing Reaver‘s Genesis
Let‘s rewind back to October 2021 when the Reaver knife first appeared…
[Reaver Knife Evolution Stages]
The developers at Nikilis Studios surprised players by releasing special Halloween-themed knives hidden behind limited-time gamepasses. The Reaver knife immediately caught the community‘s attention thanks to its transformation mechanic – it would change visuals and rarity tiers as you gained XP during matches.
Originally only planning a two week availability window, insately high demand convinced the devs to keep the gamepasses listed for over a month. But once sales closed on November 14th, 2021, no more than an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 Reaver knives came into circulation based on concurrent player counts. Cue the FOMO! 😱
Peerless Rarity in MM2‘s Knife Skin Economy
Today, the laws of supply and demand have made Reaver priceless among collectors. On the private selling market, sellers routinely ask $250 and beyond for basic accounts just because they contain the exclusive Reaver knife.
To put into perspective just how rare these knives are, take a look at this 2022 rarity ranking of the top knife skins in MM2:
Only a handful of discontinued godlies like Corrupt, Nik‘s Scythe and Icebreaker can match Reaver‘s prestige. Among actively circulating knives, Reaver stands peerless.
I‘ve played and traded actively in MM2 for years now, and across Discord servers and Reddit, owners flaunt their Reaver knives knowing how scarce they are. The ability to evolve the knife over time makes it even more personal.
Outside of giveaways, chances to obtain a Reaver knife nowadays are virtually zero. That lonely supply paired with high demand among collectors means values should remain steady for years to come.
The Allure Behind MM2‘s Premier Evolving Knife Skin
The Reaver knife isn‘t just special because of rarity though. Part of why it causes such fervor is the evolving design:
- As you gain XP and level up, the knife changes appearance and rarity tier
- Upgrades happen from Common -> Rare -> Epic -> Legendary -> Mythical
- Each evolution stage has brand new VFX, animations, textures and sounds
- Gives owners a long-term grinding goal and sense of achievement
Few knives "level up" over time. Reaver establishes permanent bragging rights because lower level Reavers signal veteran owners. Flex your OG status!
For collectors and flexers alike, the Reaver knife essentially combines exclusive limited-availability, evolving designs, and badge-of-honor prestige into one irresistible godly.
Owning this ultra rare knife says more than having a stack of low and mid-tier godlies ever could. Even whale inventories overflowing with corrupt/chroma drops can‘t replace the crown jewel Reaver knife.
Final Thoughts
The Reaver knife stands in a league of its own when it comes to rarity and desirability. Nothing currently available comes close, and I don‘t anticipate any future knife skins ever surpassing Reaver‘s pedigree.
Between the unique evolution system, prestigous status symbol, and sheer scarcity in circulation, Reaver knives should remain the premier flex for MM2 veterans.
For the tiny fraction of players fortunate enough to own this holy grail knife skin, take pride in being part of an exclusive club – and wear your bragging rights well!
