How to Kill a Berserker

How to Kill a Berserker



Berserker Weak Spot

Weak Spot Aim for the Berserker's head or stomach area. Also, destroying their arms will disable their melee weapons.

Focus on a Berserker's Weak Spots

You ideally want to shoot a Berserker's weak spot as it runs towards you. By allocating all your shots to a Berserker's weak spot, you can easily kill it before it lands a hit on you.

A Berserker's weak spots can easily identified in-game due to the parts glowing red.

Maintain Distance From Berserkers

Helldivers 2 - Run Away From Berserkers

Most of the time, Berserkers group up and chase you. Failing to maintain distance from a group of Berserkers will result in death.

So, when there's a group of Berserkers chasing you, run away for a few seconds to maintain some distance. Then, kill them by shooting their weak spots!

Destroy a Berserker's Arms

If you cannot shoot a Berserker's weak spot, the next best thing you can do is to shoot down its shoulder joints. Destroying a Berserker's arms will disable their melee weapons, allowing you to easily finish it off.

All Berserker Variations

The Berserker does not have any variants.
