Helldivers 2: How To Take Down Berserkers

Berserkers are melee, mid-sized Automaton units. Let us discuss how to take down horde of Berserkers as they close their distance from you.

Berserkers are the medium-sized, melee mecha units of the Automatons. These humanoid figures in Helldivers 2 resemble the Devastators but do not wield any long-range weapons. Moreover, they are not armored like their iron-clad cousins.

As a result, Berserkers are fast. In Helldivers 2, you and your friends will often find yourselves surrounded by a plethora of Automaton enemies. You must strategize and fight in unison to overcome the calamities.

In this guide, let’s discuss how to take down Berserkers.

How To Take Down Berserkers in Helldivers 2

The relentlessness of these bad boys will break a sweat. They are usually deployed in a bunch. Having light armor, the Berserkers are faster than the other Automatons. They will keep on chasing the Helldivers as long as they live.

Additionally, the Berserkers wield two chainsaws in each hand. The situation will take a turn for the worse if they close in on you or swarm you from multiple directions.

Hence, you must keep your distance from the Berserkers. Although they wear light armor, the Berserkers take around three shots to be taken down. Their weak spots are their heads and crotches. Beware! The Berserkers are functional even after you take down their weapons.

Weapons Which Work Best Against the Berserkers

SG-8 Punisher, SG-8S Slugger, and JAR-5 Dominator can stagger and stall them. However, there are more effective weapons to take them down. We recommend that you use the AR-23P Liberator Penetrator or the MG-43 Machine Gun for maximum efficiency.

Additionally, Grenades and a well-placed shot from an R-36 Eruptor work while taking down Berserkers.

If you are compelled to use a Stratagem in a tricky situation, we suggest using the AC-8 Autocannon. 

To sum it up, you need to keep a safe distance from the Berserkers while dealing them burst damage with light armor penetration. Take them out before they can swarm up on you. Berserkers are usually damaging when you have your sights set on another enemy. In these situations, they will rapidly catch up to you and attack you with their unforgiving chainsaws. So, do not take your attention away from these swift foes for too long.
