How to Beat Capri in Survive a Psycho

Attack Capri alongside the other survivors while backing away. Keeping several guns on her lets you maintain pressure without having to stay close.

Capri-shaped red clones are ineffective shooting targets, so do not spend your ammunition on those decoys. Red coloration alone does not distinguish a clone from Capri herself. Keep your attention on the actual opponent rather than switching to every red figure.

When Capri closes in during a reload, retreat toward a nearby building and reposition to regain shooting space. Resume firing once you have ammunition and room to move. Standing still to finish a magazine or reload gives up the distance you need for the next attack.

For the broader choice between fighting, recovering, and running out the round timer, see survivor strategies.

The red ground ring marks the area to leave. Look for ORBITAL STRIKE, WARNING / IMPACT, and the instructions RUN OUT OF THE RING or STAY CLEAR.

1. When the satellite sequence returns you to the battlefield, locate the ground ring and impact countdown immediately.
2. Move outside the ring before the strike lands. Use its visible boundary to choose your escape direction instead of stopping to finish shooting.
3. Keep checking the street and sidewalk as you move. New IMPACT warnings can appear successively in different positions, so leaving one marker does not end the need to watch the ground.
4. Once you are outside the marked area and the impact has occurred, resume firing at Capri while watching for the next warning.

During Blackout, keep looking for the ring and warning even though the street is dark. If the countdown is already near zero, move immediately.

If you have the Shock, Blackout, and Car Crash loadout, combine its abilities with group gunfire. On PC:

• Press Z for Shock. It triggers a Short Circuit quickhack with upload progress and execution feedback near the target. Use it alongside your attacks rather than letting the effect distract you from your escape route.
• Press X for Blackout. It temporarily interferes with Capri's abilities: Overdrive, Thunder, Watch, and Satellite display NO SIGNAL during the interference. The scene becomes dark and desaturated, but character outlines remain visible. Use those outlines to keep aiming, moving, and reloading.
• Press G for Car Crash. It brings a vehicle attack into the fight. REMOTE ACCESS and OVERRIDE progress, along with ENGINE ON, BRAKES OFF, and TARGET LOCK, identify the takeover sequence. Keep your gunfire directed at Capri as the vehicle sequence unfolds.

Blackout is useful when you want temporary skill interference while the group continues shooting; Shock adds the Short Circuit sequence, while Car Crash adds a vehicle attack. See the survivor ability guide for their fuller operation details.

Fighting Capri as Maine

With Maine equipped, press G for Psychosis to enter Berserk. In the Maine and Kang Tao Zhuo setup, Berserk provides 65% damage reduction, 55% increased speed, 1.6× Zhuo fire rate, and no reload while active. Use that window to move and keep firing, but still leave every impact area rather than relying on damage reduction to absorb the strike.

The Maine guide explains the full Zhuo and Berserk cycle, including the return to normal reloading.

To get Capri's chip:

1. Knock Capri down.
2. Pull her chip after she is down.

Whoever holds the chip might become the next Capri. Holding it creates a possible route to that role; it does not guarantee a transformation. For the other known ways to receive a Psycho role, see killers and role access.
