How do you make Maxwell “Oi”?
Maxwell shows an “Oi” interaction prompt in the live game, and players are actively asking which input triggers it. The current production database does not yet contain the binding needed to publish a verified key.
| Device | Current verified input |
|---|---|
| Keyboard | Not closed yet |
| Controller | Not closed yet |
| Steam Deck | Not closed yet |
Check your current Input Mapping screen first, because v1.0.30 added configurable input mappings.
A prompt that will not respond can be an input-mapping problem rather than a Maxwell problem.
Does Maxwell affect luck, money or quota?
No verified effect in the current production data.
Does Maxwell increase luck?
No verified effect. The fixed item data has no luck field.
Does Maxwell improve gambling odds?
No verified casino modifier.
Does Maxwell help with quota?

A cat this rare makes players suspect a hidden buff. The data checked here only proves spawn, description, price and Mystery Box weight.
Is Maxwell rarer than Ratto?
They are tied.
| Item | Weight | Chance per box | Economic effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maxwell | 0.2 | ≈0.7874% | None verified |
| Ratto | 0.2 | ≈0.7874% | None verified |
Both entries carry the same verified weight and therefore the same drop chance. Neither has a verified economic effect.
Does Maxwell still break the elevator?
No. The original elevator bug was fixed in v1.0.7 on May 4, 2026.
At launch, pulling Maxwell (or Ratto) from a Mystery Box could jam the elevator doors on the way back. The official v1.0.7 patch notes state that Ratto and Maxwell no longer break the elevator.
