Changes: Berserker Fury

Revision as of 07:07, 6 July 2018

For the Berserker Warframe, see Valkyr.

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

Rank	Effect	Duration	Cost
0	+5%	+4s	4
1	+10%	+8s	5
2	+15%	+12s	6
3	+20%	+16s	7
4	+25%	+20s	8
5	+30%	+24s	9

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
  $(1 - 0.2 + 0.55) \times (1 + 0.75) = 2.3625x$ 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.

Berserker works best with melee weapons whose critical chance is 20% or greater, allowing for much greater attack speed.
- In some cases, it can be used in lieu of Fury and/or Quickening.
This mod synergizes well with True Steel, True Punishment, Blood Rush or Maiming Strike, as the increase in critical hit chance will make it more likely for this mod to activate.

Prior to Hotfix 13.8.1 (2014-06-19), 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.

“I was expecting... I don't know. More.”
