Survive a Psycho Maine Guide: Zhuo, Psychosis and Berserk

Open CLASSES and select EQUIP on your saved Maine card. Once you enter a round as Maine, the loadout controls are:

Choose Maine when you want a short window of moving fire backed by damage reduction. For other saved class options and slots, see classes and loadouts; for other skill controls, see the abilities guide.

Click to fire Zhuo at your target. In normal use, its ammunition runs from 2/2 to 0/2, then displays RELOADING before returning to 2/2. Move and regain a firing position during the reload, then resume shooting when the ammunition returns.

The small magazine makes reload interruptions part of Maine's normal rhythm. Save a clear opportunity to attack for Psychosis when you want to keep firing without those interruptions.

1. With Maine equipped, press G to activate Psychosis.
2. Look for the BERSERK panel and Zhuo's NO RELOAD indicator.
3. Keep moving and firing Zhuo while the buff is active.

In the Maine and Kang Tao Zhuo setup, the Berserk panel lists these effects:

Use the window when you have a target to shoot and room to move: the faster fire and lack of reloads let you sustain pressure while the speed increase helps you reposition.

The Berserk countdown shows how long the active buff has left; the number on Psychosis is the skill's separate cooldown. In one Maine and Zhuo activation, the Berserk timer ran for approximately seven seconds.

When the Berserk panel and NO RELOAD disappear, return to Zhuo's two-round firing and reload cycle. The damage reduction helps during the attack window, but it does not make Maine immune: move out of Capri's red ground circles even while Berserk is active.
