Description

"Primary - fast slash attack that burns; hold Primary for combo attack. Secondary - heavy slash attack that burns. Reload - Perform a special attack when at 100% charge. Alt - block/parry."

Flavor Text

"Great for barbecues."

Technical Information

Damage (Primary) = up to 92.
Damage (Secondary) = up to 152.
Damage (Special) = up to 400.
Damage (Stab) = 85.

Damage Type = Slashing (primary, secondary, special), Piercing (stab).

Maximum Hit Range = 2.4m (x2 during Ultimate Charge attack).

Ultimate Charge mechanic: upon accumulating 100 units of Charge, the powerful attack can be unleashed by pressing Reload button. Charges added, per hit: primary = 1, alt-fire = 3, stab = 1, block = 1, parry = 5. Charged attack gets 2 times range of the regular attack as well as greatly extended hitbox.

All attacks (including Ultimate Charge) apply Damage Over Time with the duration of 3s, interval of 0.5s and damage scale equal to 20% of the current attack's damage:

• Since afterburn damage type is not on-perk¹ for Berserker, DOT will not be amplified by perk's skills and bonuses, for example for light attacks damage per tick will always be 92 x 0.2 = 18.
• Much like with other melee weapons, pure horizontal strikes to 25% less damage as so does DOT caused by these attacks.
• Smash skill increases damage of heavy attacks by 50% and also damage per tick from 152 x 0.2 to 228 x 0.2.

Rate Of Fire:
Primary (combo) = 120.
Secondary = 60 (right-to-left swing = 63).
Stab = 82.
Ultimate Charge (duration of animation) = 1.62s.

Equip Time = 0.58s.
Putdown Time = 0.96s.

Parry:
Strength = 5.
Duration = 0.58s.
Damage Reduction = 40%.
Block Damage Reduction = 50%.

Weapon Powers:

Burn power (alt-fire) = 50.
Burn power (charged attack) = 150.
Burn power (per DOT tick) = 15.
Burn power (primary) = 75.
Burn power (stab) = 25.
Knockdown power (charged attack) = 500.
Melee hit power (alt-fire) = 125.
Melee hit power (charged attack) = 500.
Melee hit power (primary) = 75.
Melee hit power (stab) = 100.
Stumble power (alt-fire) = 100.

¹ It is on-perk technically, but due to code specifics of how Berserker's perk handles damage modification it does not work.
