Ancients are the tier most MM2 traders obsess over — a tiny, mostly retired set of event scythes, axes and snipers that sit one rung below Unique and one above Godly, and that quietly hold more real value than almost anything else in the game. If you want to know what your Gingerscope, Traveler's Axe or Harvester is actually worth before you accept a trade, this is the full, current list. Every value below is community-tracked (there is no official MM2 price for anything), cross-checked across named value sites, and dated to October 2026 — because Ancient values move, and a year-old number will get you robbed in a trade.

Quick answer: MM2 Ancient values (October 2026)
What is the most valuable MM2 Ancient? Nik's Scythe — a gift-only item with roughly 7 confirmed owners, tracked at ~250,000,000 community value on mm2values but effectively unobtainable. The most valuable Ancient that actually changes hands is Gingerscope, currently around $210–$500 on live marketplace listings (Eldorado, Summer Update 2026 pull). Everything else in the tier sits well below those two.
Here is the short version if you just need the ranking of the Ancients that trade, highest to lowest, with their current real-money range:
- Nik's Scythe — unobtainable (~250M community value; ~7 owners)
- Gingerscope — $210–$500
- Traveler's Axe — $110–$200
- Celestial — $30–$65
- Vampire's Axe — $18–$35
- Harvester — $5–$20
- Icepiercer — $3–$14
Values are community/marketplace estimates that move weekly (daily during events). Pull a current number from a named tracker the day you trade — see the sourcing note at the end.
What "Ancient" means in MM2
Ancient is a specific rarity tier Nikilis added to Murder Mystery 2 in late 2016. Per the official Murder Mystery 2 Wiki, it sits below the Unique tier and above the Godly tier — so Ancients are rarer than every Godly and Chroma-Godly, and only the handful of Unique items (and the gift-only Gold Gingerscythe) outrank them.
Two things make the tier special for traders:
- They barely resemble normal weapons. Almost every Ancient is an axe, scythe, hammer, crossbow or sniper rather than a standard knife or gun (the lone exception historically was Flames). That distinct silhouette is a big part of why they're showcase items.
- They're event-locked and retired. Ancients are "normally obtainable through holiday events" — Halloween, Christmas and Summer — and once that event's shop closes, the item stops being obtainable except by trading. Fixed, shrinking supply is exactly what pushes Ancient values up over time, the same mechanic that makes Godlys appreciate but amplified by far smaller numbers in circulation.
That's the core thing to internalise: an Ancient is worth what the shrinking owner pool will pay for it, not what a code or a box can mint tomorrow.
The top of the Ancient market
Nik's Scythe — the trophy nobody trades
Nik's Scythe is the ceiling of the entire tier and arguably the game. It was never released as an obtainable item — Nikilis gifted it directly to a small circle of close friends and players who reported game bugs. The community-standard tracker mm2values lists it at 250,000,000 value, demand 11, rarity 11, with the status note "overpaid for." With only around 7 confirmed owners, you will almost certainly never see it in a trade. Treat it as a piece of MM2 history, not a tradeable asset — and be instantly suspicious of anyone "offering" one.
Gingerscope — the real king of Ancient trading
Gingerscope is the highest-value Ancient that actually changes hands. It was a Christmas 2023 event item (the 20th tier for 98,000 Snow Tokens), so its supply is capped and slowly shrinking as accounts go inactive. Its clean gingerbread-sniper design and that scarcity keep demand consistently high — live marketplace listings put it around $210–$500 as of the October 2026 pull.
Traveler's Axe and Celestial — the next bracket
Below Gingerscope sit Traveler's Axe (~$110–$200), a Halloween 2023 tier reward, and Celestial (~$30–$65), a Christmas 2025 Snow Token item. Both are genuinely tradeable Ancients with healthy demand — the sweet spot if you want a real Ancient on your profile without chasing the two six-figure trophies.
The affordable Ancients
Not every Ancient is a fortune. Several recent event Ancients trade in single or low-double-digit dollars because supply is still relatively fresh:
- Vampire's Axe — ~$18–$35 (Halloween 2024, 20th tier, 98,000 Candies)
- Harvester — ~$5–$20 (Halloween 2021, 30th tier, 80,000 Candies; a gun, not a knife)
- Icepiercer — ~$3–$14 (Christmas 2022, 20th tier, 75,000 Snow Tokens; also a gun)
These are the smart entry points into the tier. They carry the Ancient label and the distinctive event look, but you're not committing hundreds of dollars or a stack of your best Godlys to own one.

- Synthwave (Knife) — Synthwave Gamepass, 3,399 Robux, evolved from Rare to Ancient
- Flames (Knife) — Crafting (formerly classified Ancient)
Note the pattern: the event-tier Ancients (Gingerscope, Traveler's Axe, Celestial) are the ones with strong trade demand, because they were grind-locked behind a seasonal token wall and are genuinely scarce. The gamepass-evolution Ancients (Reaver, Icecrusher, Gingerscythe, Synthwave) were buyable with Robux by anyone during their window, so they circulate more and generally trade lower.
How to actually get an Ancient
There are only two honest routes, and one scam route to avoid.
1. Trade for it. Because every tradeable Ancient is retired, the normal path is an in-game trade — usually a stack of Godlys, a Chroma, or a big "value" pile in exchange for the Ancient you want. Use the in-game trade window; MM2 enforces a rough value-balance check so wildly uneven trades get flagged. Always confirm the current value of both sides on a named tracker first.
2. Wait for the next seasonal event. The only way to get a brand-new Ancient at source is to grind the next Halloween or Christmas event and hit the tier that rewards it (historically the 20th–40th tier for 70,000–98,000 event tokens). With Halloween 2026 now live, the smart move is to watch the event shop for an Ancient-tier reward and grind the token wall before it closes — day-one supply is when a new Ancient is cheapest.
The scam route to skip: there are no MM2 codes that give Ancients, and "free Ancient generator" sites are pure phishing. Anyone offering a Nik's Scythe is lying. If you'd rather skip the grind or a lopsided trade, buying from a trusted marketplace is the only safe shortcut.
Want a specific Ancient without grinding the event or gambling a risky trade? Here's the direct route for the tier — delivered to your account, no token wall.
- MM2 Ancient Weapons — the showcase tier (Gingerscope, Traveler's Axe, Celestial and more)
- MM2 Icepiercer — the affordable entry-point Ancient gun
- MM2 Harvester — the Halloween 2021 Ancient gun
- All Murder Mystery 2 items — Godlys, Chromas, Ancients, pets and more
How Ancient values are tracked (and why sites disagree)
MM2 has no official value for any item — the game gives you no price reference for a knife, gun or pet. Everything you see is a community estimate, and it comes in two flavours that are easy to confuse:
- Community "value points" (mm2values, Supreme Values, mm2.rocks): an abstract fairness number used for item-for-item trades. Nik's Scythe at 250,000,000 is a points value, not dollars.
- Real-money marketplace price (Eldorado and similar): what buyers actually pay in USD. Gingerscope at ~$210–$500 is a cash value.
Trackers routinely disagree by 30% or more, and sometimes on the item count itself, because they weight demand and supply differently. The rule for trading safely: cite one named source and the date you pulled it, compare the ratio between items rather than trusting a single absolute number, and re-check right before a big trade during event weeks when values swing daily. The numbers in this guide were pulled from Eldorado's marketplace (Summer Update 2026 listings) and mm2values in October 2026.
FAQ
What is the rarest Ancient in MM2? Nik's Scythe. It was never officially released — Nikilis gifted it to roughly 7 people (close friends and bug reporters), and mm2values tracks it at around 250,000,000 value with the status "overpaid for." You will almost never see one in a real trade, so treat any offer of one as a scam.
What is the most valuable Ancient you can actually trade for? Gingerscope, a Christmas 2023 event item, is the highest-value Ancient that genuinely changes hands — around $210–$500 on live marketplace listings as of October 2026. Traveler's Axe (~$110–$200) is the next bracket down.
How do you get Ancient weapons in MM2? Either trade for a retired one in-game (usually Godlys/Chromas in exchange), or grind the next seasonal event — historically the 20th–40th tier for 70,000–98,000 Halloween Candies or Christmas Snow Tokens — and claim the Ancient-tier reward before the event shop closes. A few Ancients (Reaver, Icecrusher, Gingerscythe, Synthwave) came from Robux gamepasses that evolved a Rare knife up to Ancient.
Are there MM2 codes for free Ancients? No. MM2 codes are rare and only ever give minor items, never Ancients, and "free Ancient generator" sites are phishing scams. The only safe shortcut to a specific Ancient is buying from a trusted marketplace.
Why do MM2 Ancient values keep changing? Because there is no official price — all values are community estimates driven by live supply and demand. Ancients are retired event items with fixed, shrinking supply, so they tend to appreciate over time, but values can swing 30%+ between trackers and spike during event weeks. Always check a dated value from a named site before trading.
Is an Ancient better than a Godly? In rarity, yes — Ancient sits one full tier above Godly. But "better" for trading depends on the specific item: a top Chroma Godly like the Chroma Traveler's Gun still outvalues most Ancients. Ancients win on prestige and that distinctive scythe/axe look; the retired ones (Gingerscope, Traveler's Axe) are the ones that hold serious value.
