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

Probably a distant ancestor of Chuck Norris, they have exceptional health, but because of their huge muscles are unable to wear either shirts or armor. If you're not on their side, their howling battle-cries will be the last thing you hear.

These lunatics shine in melee fights, with a powerful axe and furiously high speed, they dominate battlefield. Although they have no shield or ranged weapons, their sword and axe combo usually butchers ranged classes into bite-size pieces.

Berserker's Big axe. Like the man himself it's big and powerful, but charging takes some time. With its two-handed weapon status, you can take on entire armies. Enemies will fall before you can say "I'll see you in Valhalla!" but if you use it well, you'll get to tell them when you get there.

Sword and Axe Combo

Berserker's dual-wielded weapons, usually referred to as the "lawnmower" although "meat grinder" is also acceptable. They are not that powerful, but the Berserker's maddened flailing makes up for that. Although they can be blocked pretty easily if you only attack with the forward direction, swaying from side to side or using the backwards charged attack can make blocking the 'lawnmower' a fatally difficult task. In the hands of experienced Berserkers they quickly get bloody, and they tend to stay that way.

Dmg Charged/N: 50/30

Special Dmg Charged/N: 65/40

Special

Berserker's special is abnormal since its not tied to any weapon. When your special meter is full, press the special button to enter an enraged state where your health, speed and strength rise dramatically. 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.
