About WISE GUYS
Wise Guys drops players into a tense criminal standoff where the Boss, Wise Guy, Rat and FED each pursue hidden goals. The Boss decides who lives, the Wise Guy moves contraband, the Rat sows doubt, and the FED gathers evidence while staying concealed.
The game mixes melee fights, physics‑based hauling and a trust‑no‑one narrative in online PvP. Every second the Rat stays hidden adds pressure, and each decision can shift the balance of power.
01 / THE GUIDE
Roles and Objectives
Four roles shape each player's purpose. The Boss calls the shots and must expose the Rat, the Wise Guy hauls cash, guns and drugs, the Rat sabotages and frames others, and the FED collects proof while avoiding exposure. Each role has its own objectives to pursue.
Understanding what each role needs to do helps you anticipate actions. The Boss watches for clues, the Wise Guy focuses on loading duffle bags, the Rat looks for opportunities to mislead, and the FED stays hidden while building a case.
- Watch early actions to guess a player's role before committing to a decision.
- Share information selectively; revealing too much can aid the Rat.

Brutal Melee Combat
Combat is limited to melee actions: punch, kick, stomp or grab any nearby object as a weapon. Players can improvise with whatever is on the scene, creating a raw physical confrontation.
The melee focus means encounters happen at close range, so positioning and timing become important factors during the chaotic accusations.
- Use environmental objects to extend reach and surprise opponents.
- Keep an eye on nearby players when you suspect the Rat is nearby.

Physics‑Based Tasks
Players sweep the building for bugs, load duffle bags with cash, guns and drugs, and deliver them to a van before the Feds intervene. These tasks rely on physics interactions, so placement and timing matter.
A single mistake, such as dropping loot, can cause the operation to collapse, increasing the pressure on all participants.
- Plan a route before grabbing items to reduce drops.
- Coordinate deliveries with teammates to avoid bottlenecks.
04 / THE GUIDE
Trust and Accusation
Trust erodes as the Rat remains hidden, creating a risk for every player. The Boss must decide whom to blame, while others try to avoid being framed.
Accusations influence the outcome: exposing the Rat can spare the accuser, while a wrong accusation may leave the accuser vulnerable.
- Look for inconsistent behavior that may signal sabotage.
- Gather at least one piece of evidence before making an accusation.
