Explaining the Berserk Mode in Doom The Dark Ages

The Berserk Mode is no different from previous versions, and it essentially makes the Slayer more powerful. Your attacks can deal more damage; however, it is on the clock and can’t be used for an entire mission. In Doom The Dark Ages, you must pick up a handful of red sigils scattered around the mission area to build up your Berserk Mode.

It can be viewed as your one-way ticket to winning a fight when things are starting to go south. The combat encounters in this franchise are not for the faint of heart, and they can get the adrenaline pumping. While you can run and gun your way to victory, the Berserk mode can be your insurance policy. While this mode can increase damage output, it also grants the Slayer a minor burst of health to keep them alive in the fight.

When Should You Use the Berserk Mode?

It is best to use the Berserk Mode as a last resort or when you are in the middle of a difficult boss fight. While this mode is activated, you shouldn’t waste a second and eliminate as many demons as you can. Doom The Dark Ages has a relatively short window for this mode, and you should make the most of it.

Some enemy bosses are much tankier than others, and while you can’t kill them in a single activation of Berserk Mode, it can help chip away at their lengthy health bar. The Berserk Mode is your ‘Hail Mary’ in tight situations, and it could turn the tide in your favor.
