Ability
Berserk is a level 5 psycast that drives a single target violently insane.
Acquisition
There are two ways to acquire the psycast Berserk:
- Upon reaching psylink level 5, a random psycast of level 5 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 5 psycast.
- Berserk can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.
Summary
Analysis
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
- Berserk forces an enemy to attack nearby targets indiscriminately, including their allies.
- Have enemies aggro on each other while your ranged fighters pick them off.
- Cause friendly fire as enemies fire at the berserker.
- Offers an alternative way to hunt dangerous animals like Thrumbos. Note that once animals have begun fighting each other, they will continue fighting until one of the two is downed or dies, even after Berserk has expired. Damage incurred from each other also will not cause them to go manhunter.
- Extremely powerful against tanky enemies, who can kill non-affected enemies for an extended period of time.
