The Berserker is the toughest non-boss enemy in the Locust managerie. The Berserker is capable of single handedly smashing through almost any obstacle and has hardened plates all over her body that allow her to sustain almost any damage. The only true shortcoming of the Berserker is that she is completely blind but she more than makes up for this with an enhanced sense of sight and smell.
The only known way to get through the outer plates to the flesh beneath them are by super heating the plates. The most effective method involves the use of the Hammer of Dawn which not only softens the plates but deals devestating damage to the flesh underneath. Despite this, it still takes several hits from the Hammer of Dawn to kill a Berserker, a testament to just how tough she is.
In place of a Hammer of Dawn, conventional fire based weaponry can be used such as Scorchers and Incendiary Grenades. Using these weapons exclusively can deal damage but the effect lasts longer the more you use it so you can also hit her with fire and then swap to another weapon to deal damage. When working with a team, however, it is generally more useful for one person to consistently use fire on the Berserker so that the rest of the team can hit her with conventional weapons consistently.
