Berserk



The berserk pack is a powerup that looks like a black medikit. Picking one up boosts the player's health to 100% and fills their vision with a red haze of drug-crazed fury.

When collecting a berserk pack, the player's current weapon will switch to the fist. Second, no matter what a player's health beforehand, it will be boosted up to 100%, unless it was already 100% or over. The berserk pack increases the strength of the punch attack tenfold until the end of the level (not just until the red haze fades from the view), making it powerful enough to smash weaker enemies to a pulp, or kill a demon with a single punch.

In the original Doom, a player who has the chainsaw cannot switch to fists unless having the berserk.
