Explosives are too risky, as their speed will close any distance in a short time, leaving you blowing yourself to bits. Their fast rates of fire will tear them up before they can attack you. When fighting more than one Berserker, use your Chain Gun or Hyperblaster against them.If the player is aware of their surroundings, then they can more easily strafe backwards whilst shooting the Berserker, thus keeping him away from the player and avoiding damage. The Chain Gun and Hyperblaster can tear it up to chunky kibbles in no time. The Super Shotgun, Machine Gun, Railgun, Rocket Launcher, grenades ( Hand and Launcher) can kill it in two to three hits. Alone, a Berserker is easy to kill, and even in groups they're not that intimidating.They can, however, be dangerous in small or narrow rooms where the player's ability to maneuver is severely restricted, and avoiding its melee attacks is more difficult. More often than not, Berserkers will simply charge straight at their enemies and be gunned down before they can even get in attack range. However, in practice, the Berserker's complete inability to defend itself at anything but point-blank range, combined with the noticeable wind-up on their actual attacks, makes them fairly ineffectual opponents. This is not merely a scare tactic, however, as the Strogg hope this will create a moment of hesitation brought on by surprise where the Berserker can land multiple blows on the target, inflicting massive damage very quickly. They are also often strategically positioned behind doors and around corners to scare the living daylights out of the player. Despite having no ranged attacks, the Berserker has a decent amount of health, making it hard to one-shot kill it. It appears to have been created from captured humans, which is both visually apparent from the human torso and head with drastic cybernetic augmentations, and also based on the fact that a Berserker will utter the English word 'Trespasser' on visual contact with the player. The Berserker is a fast humanoid Strogg that only uses melee attacks.

He may hit the dirt easy, but he’ll get up and is relentless in his pursuits.
