Berserker


 * This article is about the Doom 3 powerup. For the Doom RPG powerup, see Berserk pack.

The Berserker powerup in Doom 3 has a lot of things in common with its classic counterpart the berserk pack. However, the berserker only has an effect for a limited duration and also makes the player invulnerable in single player as well as the enhancement of melee attacks. It also enhances the damage far beyond what the classic powerup did, enabling the player to kill even the toughest non-boss monsters with a single punch.

The item for the powerup is a fearsome looking red helmet floating in midair. This, combined with the constant screaming sound while armed, makes it possible the helmet is a demonic technology. The Berserker is not often found in the game and is extremely rare, only being found in Communication Transfer and in Hell. In the expansion, the Berserker does not appear in single player at all, (being replaced by The Artifact) but appears in multiplayer.
