How do you use your zerker?

Literally am trash with it.

It’s too slow to get in and out, so I’m starting to understand why a ton of people go all in with the stick.

They only really have a 1 way ticket. Or you stay in the trees shooting em up the whole game.

How do you play with your berserker class?

you use the gear the beserker comes with and usually the net gun. you stalk alittle. set a trap or net them then go hammer either the netted guy or one of the ones who is not netted.

I find it best not to use the slam right away unless your sure you can get one and claim it and not lose half your health in the process or your 100% sure you will hit them all with the slam so they are blind.

My experience with the beserker is you got to play him smart unlike how you could previously just leap in and take everyone down quickly. He requires alittle bit of planning and you have to think about your exit route before you go in. cause if you miss a leap or hit a object there is a good chance your dead. he may have the health to soak extra hits but he doesn’t have the stamina to do the constant evade leaps and sprint.

And on the note of stamina. do not swing blindly. if you run out of stamina your dead. i am not sure if the pred takes extra damage when they run out of stam or not but it feels like it.

almost every wep will work with a zerk to be honest. you can use the bow get close so you get a good shot then run in quick for the melee since the bow when you land a shot slows them. you can net them so they can’t parry. you can use the trap cause it does both. audio deco so they don’t know which direction your coming from as easy. disc because it just does a lot of dmg when thrown but is hard to control and take a lot of practice.

melee weapons not a must but are recommended. most use eldersword or combi but that’s personal preference. sword can do a lot of damage. combi has more aoe and is a 1shot or atleast close to a 1shot if thrown.

The trick is to use all of his tools and never engage the entire fire team at once. they will melt any class in 8 seconds or less.

pick your battles and when you engage try to make sure one of them is unable to fight in some way usually makes it a lot easier for the zerker.

i find the hardest thing for me to manage on the zerker is my stam. i am so used to playing the scout and not needing to worry about my stam that it gets me into trouble.

I don’t like playing the zerker that much cause there are a lot of things i don’t like. First it was to easy and was the cookie cutter for a bit and hands down needed a nerf and left a bad taste in my mouth as a result.

I don’t like how much damage the fire team does at close range and can melt you with if you make one miscalculation.

melee gets stale after a while when that’s the only way you can kill someone.

The zerkers hit box is insanely large and since the game uses hitscan for its targeting it makes the zerker a giant bullet magnet. Yah hitscan is ideal for consoles and all and makes the game a lot easier to play in console but when your go against pc players that hitscan makes aim almost godlike. Also is it just me or does that hitscan not seem to work on pred weapons? might just be me. then again i have terrible aim as the pred.

the few times i have played zerk lately. the best way i have found to deal with fireteam is what i said above. but to basically be hit and run. don’t use all of your stam swinging at them just take a few swings then get the heck out.

i have said a lot in previous posts i am not a good pred player. i am ok. i just like playing pred. i am sure there are a lot better pred players then me and probably ones that are a lot better at zerk then me. but these are what i do when i play zerk but i don’t like zerk that much atm.

I’d like to know which are the most common builds for Berserker here?

Common is the rush build wit zerk and combi I play disc and zerk

I assume

Yeah, but isn’t the Rush Zerker build (Zerker Combi-Stick) kind of dead now?

I tried switching around things, but due to the costs of the perks, it is a bit difficult to find the right build. Playing a ranged zerker does not feel right, but due to the lack of stamina, you are kind of dead against a good team once you get close enough. It feels like Netgun + Eldersword might be a good combo if you utilize your traps well.

Yea but for most ppl who actually play zerk most of them have no skill and rush with that sadly me I use the disc and zerk I’m a disc master and rarely loose just get a hang of the disc and u should be good for a zerk build I wouldn’t use the elder sword cuhz his stam

Net gun is also useful

If you use adrenaline boost as well ur wristblades don’t take up like any stam so net Gun + wrist blades and disc = win for me
