Berserk



The berserk pack is a powerup that looks like a black medikit. Picking one up boosts the player's health to 100% and temporarily fills his vision with a red haze.

When a berserk pack is collected, the player's current weapon will switch to the fist, and his health will be boosted to 100% (unless it was already 100% or more). The berserk pack increases the strength of the punch attack tenfold until the level ends (not only until the red haze disappears), making it powerful enough to smash humanoids to a pulp, or even kill a demon with a single punch.

The berserk pack can also be obtained with the cheat code idbeholds.

In vanilla Doom, a player who has the chainsaw cannot use his fists unless he has also obtained a berserk pack.

Berserk packs are included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.
