{{Main|Berserker}}
Berserkers gain bonuses for melee weapons, damage resistance, and movement speed. They excel at front line combat and can take on larger specimens by taking advantage of the stun effect, and dodging attacks, however [[Fleshpound]]s, [[Bloat]]s, [[Siren]]s, and the [[Patriarch]] are immune to stun, making them harder to take on. [[Crawler]]s can also cause problems for a berserker due to their size, in the case of the [[Husk]]s, ranged attacks. Ambush tactics can work quite well against the Siren and Husk, but a sidearm may be required to take on Crawlers.

The experience thresholds for berserker are for dealing melee damage to specimens. The requirements are 25K for level 1, 100K for level 2, 500K for level 3, 1.5M for level 4, 3.5M for level 5, and 5.5M for level 6.

=== Equipment ===

[[Berserker]] equipment consists entirely of all melee weapons (excluding the ''premium'' [[buzzsaw bow]]). Everyone starts with a [[knife]], level 5 or over Berserkers spawn with a [[Machete]], level 6 Berserkers spawn with an [[axe]] and, depending on the difficulty,  [[combat armour]] as well.
