"She can hear us, she can smell.. us."

Berserkers are the female form of the Locust grunt, little is known about them. They appear to be born blind and are naturally bigger than other Locust (Standing at 2.2 Meters) and appear to be more primitive than their male counterparts. Their skin is thicker and used as natural armor. (Though there are some fleshy parts inbetween.)

Features

The brain capacity of a Berserker is guessed to be lower than that of other Locust. They do not use any firearms and rely on their own brute strenght. Their own size and weight won't slow them down, a Berserker on the loose can easily run thru thick concrete walls. They seem to be agressive at all times, much like a rabbid dog.

As they are born blind, Berserkers use scent and vibrations in the air to hunt. Much like the style of bats hunting in the dark. When they sense that it's prey is near, it will give chase in that direction and won't stop until someone or something stops them in their wake. They even turn against each other in battle when their bloodlust overwhelms them.

Strategy

No conventional weapon will penetrate the Berserkers thick armored plates. The Hammer of Dawn will take care of the Berserker but it will take a couple of tries. Another way to defeat a Berserker is by tagging it with grenade once The Hammer of Dawn has heated their skins and thus rendering them vunerable. An alternative on the Train Wreck mission is to lure the Berserker onto the last cart and to cut the train loose. You could also lure her near the fuel tank and blow it up, sending the Berserker flying.
