Diablo 4 offers players a wide range of weapons and abilities to destroy hordes of enemies. One of them is the Berserk status, which significantly boosts your character's damage. However, this is not an ability that can simply be activated by pressing a button. Therefore, next, we will tell you how to get Berserk in Diablo 4.
Berserk is a unique class skill available only to Barbarians. And this is not surprising since this class was created to deal pure damage. Therefore, you want your Barbarian to go Berserk.

How to Get Berserk in Diablo 4
So, as we said, Berserk is not a separate ability. It would be more correct to say that this is a status effect. Therefore, to get Berserk in Diablo 4, you must unlock and use certain skills.
It is important to note that not all Barbarian skills trigger this status effect. In addition, some abilities receive the Berserk buff only after several upgrades. And here is a list of skills that you will need for this:
- Wrath of the Berserker - The best skill possible, since immediately after activation it gives you Berserk for 5 seconds. In addition, by causing damage with basic skills, you can extend the effect by another 5 seconds each time.
- Enhanced War Cry - Using the skill, you get the Berserk effect for a few seconds.
- Warrior's Death Blow - When you deal damage with your Death Blow skill, you get Berserk for a short time in Diablo 4.
- Fighter’s Steel Grasp - When you deal damage with your Steel Grasp skill, you get a Berserker for a few seconds.
- Violent Upheaval - When you deal damage with your Upheaval skill to two or more enemies, you get a Berserk effect.
- Unconstrained - Permanently increases Berserk duration by 5 seconds and damage bonus by 25%.
- Combat Lunging Strike - Every time you deal critical damage with the Lunging Strike skill, the character becomes Berserk for a short time.
