Horde - how to kill Berserker

Anyone here have any tips on how to kill the Berserker?

It's incredibly hard!

Good question me & some randoms got to wave 20 and ended up giving up after a number of tries cause the berserkers would F us up. HOD worked on Gears1 :) but I did look and didn't find one - but I did notice the Flamer Thrower slowed her down but that was it.

While using the flame thrower on the berserker you can then get your mates to use standard weapons as the flame thrower removes the shield the berserker seems to have that stops you shooting bullets.

Thats the tactic me & a mate used, we killed one that way but the 2nd & 3rd berserkers that came at the same time soon destroyed us.

it seems to do more damage if you shoot in the back but takes a *** load of bullets and tag her on back thats how i kill her but that was on casual .

Flamethrowers spawn throughout the map when the Berserkers spawn. Flamethrowers are key. Flame them as much as possible while teammates bombard them with bullets. My friends and I finally beat the 50th wave of Horde using this tactic. Good thing it only took us 4 hrs and 40 min... haha Good Luck!

Yeah the flamer is the only way, I snuck around the map using the sawn off shotgun to take out all the grinders and kantus first, then my friends and I took turns to burn him and shoot him, takes a ridiculously long time, but rather rewarding, although and unspectacular death.

boom shots help as well as anything that explodes

Yup, flamethrowers or hammer of dawn if it's on the level. Your HUD will show you the location of a flamer whenever a Berserker pops up. You gotta torch it to make it vulnerable, then have someone take it down. Preferably with a turret or something that blows up.

What ups if anyone is checking this forum like i did, i found the answer but thanks to some of you guys tellin me they are weak against fire, i killed one bymyself and it only takes a lil time actually. If u have a partner to play with someone with a scorcher would be good but if ur solo dolo or even wit a partner its good to throw a incenderairy grenade to burn them up and then riddle them with bullets. i just did it while on this page and it works. Good Luck and see ya'll around. :D

Flame thrower and incendiary grenades also work great! I am going to try getting one of my friends to use the falmethrower and see if I can tag the beserker with a grenade. Anyone try this yet?

get a flamethrower say "Flame On" burn her

call in some friends have them shoot her and you do a lot of work. turrets and silver backs do wonders while she's a blaze and tag her with frags too.

did this at wave 40 and we went Ham

Make sure your cross hair turns red when you hit him, when it is white you are doing no damage!

For the lambent Berserker, you hit it in the middle of its chest just as its about to run when his rib cage like thing opens and you crosshair turns red!

I prefer playing on Sandbar, that way I know where the Hammer of Dawn and Scorchers will be, Get someone to unload with the scorcher on him, this will weaken him allowing him to take damage from regular weapons fire.

Perform this same tactic with the Hammer of Dawn if a Scorcher isnt available.

Grab a flamethrower or two, light it up (within range obviously), and shoot the berserker during the point where it is being flamed. The tough skin of the berserker weakens under fire and standard weapons will have greater effect only during that time. Otherwise shooting it outright would be waste of ammo.

As numerous people have stated, use the flamethrower. It's possible to kill them without one, but it takes a hell of a long time and more bullets than you can count.

Don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but here it is anyway. With the lambent berserker you can use the scorcher to open up her chest (if it isn't already of course).

Using grenade tags after her shield is down works wonders.

does any one now how to kill her on insane

on the campign

You can also light her up with your Scorcher, then swap to your Lancer while she's still smouldering.  You've got several seconds actually.

Use the flamerthrower while your friends all shoot Mulchers and Turrets at it (Retro, Lancer, Troika)

would a one shot kill them i tried to get one but at the last second when i took the shot i got killed and didnt see if it managed to kill them

Meh real COG just punch her to death....this strategy may or may not involve the use of mutators :)

2nd easiest boss imo.....just a bit tougher than reavers.... flamers set em afire and bullets do the killing.... boomshots work well when hes lit up also....easy.

Instagib, is the only way to deal with a Berzerker in Horde.  If you disagree with me your a racist, homophob and a noob.  Cheers

One or two people with Scorchers and everyone else shooting, fragging it, whatever. Works for me.

No, instagib only works for you because you are a noob

If your down to two players,no "ez" kill mutators,torque bow,distance and patience is how you do it.Works well with just yourself,just stay across map and don't rush it.Dropping frags or incends along the way will speed up the process...DJ ,wassup,lol........................bought a new waverunner,out of the loop for a few weeks.

I may have missed it scanning the replies, but tagging the berzerker with an incindiary grenade works very well.  I've done this many times.  It's kinda fun to do since you have to get so close.

If we're taking mutators, I always like Super Reload.  If I remember correctly, you can take a berzerker down with about 2 clips of Super bullets, and that's without even lighting her on fire!

looooooooooooooool get sum skills noobs
