Berserker

For the Berserker Warframe, see Valkyr.

Berserker is a mod that temporarily increases a melee weapon's attack speed on a Critical Hit.

StatsEdit

NotesEdit

• The attack speed buff from Berserker is independent of mods and therefore stacks multiplicatively with them.
  • For example, in combination with  Spoiled Strike and  Primed Fury, the weapon's attack speed will be at
    (1 - 0.2 + 0.55) × (1 + 0.75) = 2.3625x of its base.
• Berserker will activate on critical hits from any melee weapon, including those summoned by abilities such as  Exalted Blade, Primal Fury, and Hysteria.
  • Furthermore, Berserker will trigger if a Channeled melee weapon blocks a critical hit from an enemy.
• The attack speed bonus stacks up to a total maximum benefit of +75% attack speed.
  • Each stack has its own duration and will wear off separately.
• Does not speed up the animation of Finishers.

TipsEdit

• Berserker will match  Fury and  Gladiator Vice in effectiveness with just a single critical hit, and will surpass  Primed Fury with two stacks, making it vastly more effective than other attack speed mods after the user can get their first crit.
• While higher critical chance weapons are obviously more effective to stack Berserker, even a critical chance as low as 10% can be enough to make use of it if using melee as a main method of attack, as users will only need three crits every 24 seconds to sustain stacks.
  • Sources of flat critical chance such as  Cat's Eye or Arcane Avenger can be used to get crits without regard to innate critical stats.

TriviaEdit

• Prior to Hotfix 13.8.1, Berserker would treat melee Stealth Finisher Damage as a critical hit, activating or refreshing the speed bonus. However, despite their damage numbers still displaying as yellow, finishing attacks are no longer automatically considered critical hits.
• On April Fool's Day 2018, the mod card was changed to read out "MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE A TRUCK!".
  • This is a reference to the song Berserker by the band Love Among Freaks.
