A Pax Gladius berserker, firing an MF5 set of Hermes Fire Makers.

The Berserker class (or Zerk/Zerker) deals with problems head-on. Berserkers soak up damage and draw the ire of opponents away from squadmates, or mow enemies down with overwhelming firepower with multifired weapons -- often fulfilling both at the same time.

Berserkers naturally have high durability due to their resistances and use of heavy fighters, and high hostility that allows them to draw the aggro of opponents more consistently than other classes. Certain bosses and zones may deal massive amounts of damage that can easily prove fatal for classes with few damage mitigation options like Speed Demonss, so Berserkers may sometimes be necessary to keep a whole squad alive.

For less selfless endeavours, Berserkers can make use of the Shield Redistribution Device, a super item that temporarily converts outgoing damage dealt into shield gain -- analogous to lifesteal mechanics of other games. Berserkers built towards high damage output can often pair their firepower with this lifesteal super to easily outheal enemies that would otherwise send players into stasis. When combined with area-of-effect weapons against a dense enough group of enemies, a well-timed lifesteal activation can restore hilarious amounts of shields to a Berserker, sometimes regenerating millions of shield points within seconds.
