Berserkers are legendary Norse warriors known for their ferosity in battle and ability to go into an extreme state of rage. Some say they eat mushrooms to induce this rage. Others say they have a special spirtual bond with the gods, who grant them this gift. We, however, say they just get really pissed off.




Overview

Berserkers are the Chuck Norris type characters of this game. They have very high health but not that much armor, but what do you expect? They fight shirtless. These lunatics shine in melee fights, with a very powerful axe and pretty high speed, they can dominate battlefield. Although they have no shield or ranged weapons, their sword and axe combo usually makes archers just a good dinner for them. Nobody likes raging berserker, specially if you are on the opposite team. Berserkers battle cry is usually the last thing you hear if you are nearby. They are also sometimes referred to as "doggies".

Berserker's dual-wielded weapons, usually just called "the lawnmower" although "meat grinder" would be a good name for them as well. They are not that powerful, but berserker swings them so fast it compensates it. You can only charge your attack when walking backwards. Although they can be blocked pretty easily by just attacking with the forward direction, if you sway side to side, blocking the 'lawnmower' can be very hard. In the hands of experienced player, they tend to get bloody.

Special

Berserkers special is abnormal since its not tied to any weapon. When your special meter is full, press special button to enter raged state when your health, speed and strength rises and you are ready to kill and capture. Watch out for the end of the special because all your boosts disappear and the health gained is taken back.

Stats increase: +50 HP, +60 Speed, Increase DMG & Attack Speed

Trivia

The brown-bearded Berserker seen in the "We Want You" promotional image.
  • The Berserker was the first and so far the only class with gibbed body parts, such as a severed head and dismembered limbs. The Captain is also being updated with his own gibs but as of Beta 3.1 version these are yet to be released to the public.[1]
  • In early versions of the mod, the Berseker's hair used to be brown until it was updated with a brighter and more vivid color tone. However, artwork with the brown beard is still used on the mod's website.
  • Berserker's hands in first-person look very different to the third-person hands. For instance, in first-person they're pale, and more detailed, while in third-person they have a flat texture with a more saturated color alongside the rest of the body. The third-person hands also look slightly smaller, and they're not connected to their respective arms because the bracer's textures and materials differ from the rest of the body. Because of that the bracers work as their own meshes and there's no way to connect the hands and arms together.
