	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''''Berserker''''' was designed as a massive close range brawling [['Mech]]. Because it is designed to engage an enemy at close range, the 'Mech needs to be able to close with its target to bring its incredibly destructive power to bear on an enemy. To do this, the ''Berserker'' is propelled to a top speed of 86.4 km/h by using a Pitban 400 [[XL engine]] and a [[MASC]] system. The ''Berserker'' also uses sixteen [[double heat sink]]s to handle the heavy heat load produced by its arsenal of high-heat energy weapons. The ''Berserker'' was armored with eighteen and a half tons and shielded by a Guardian [[ECM Suite]], protecting against electronic warfare efforts; it is equipped with a [[MainFire Point Defense]] [[anti-missile system]] to provide point defense against missile attacks.	+	The '''''Berserker''''' was designed as a massive close range brawling [['Mech]].

−	==Weapons and Equipment==	+	==Armament==
−	The ''Berserker'' is armed with a [[Defiance 1001]] [[ER PPC]], which it uses to engage the enemy at long ranges as it closes with its target. As the range gap closes, the 'Mech is able to bring its two [[Sutel Precision Line]] [[Large Pulse Laser]]s to bear on its target, more than doubling the amount of damage the ''Berserker'' can inflict on a target. Finally, as it closes to arm's reach, the ''Berserker'' can use its [[Hatchet]] to deadly effect. A [[Zippo]] [[Flamer]] is also carried in the head, more for an intimidation effect than any practical combat use, though it is effective against unarmored [[infantry]].	+	The ''Berserker'' is armed with a Defiance 1001 [[ER PPC]], which it uses to engage the enemy at long ranges as it closes with its target.

−	*; BRZ-B3 : The B3 variant is a modification of the ''Berserker'' that changes the 'Mech from a powerful brawler to a well-armed fire support 'Mech. The twin Large Pulse Lasers have been replaced with a pair of [[Coventry StarFire (LRM10)|Coventry StarFire]] [[LRM-10]] launchers which allow the 'Mech to sit at long ranges and bombard the enemy.

−	*;  BRZ-C3 : An upgrade of the ''Berserker'' that makes use of an [[LTV 400]] [[Light Fusion Engine]] and a C3 network, the C3 variant removes both of the [[Large Pulse Laser]]s and one [[Double Heat Sink]]. In their place, six [[ER Medium Laser]]s and a [[C3 slave]] unit have been added. The 'Mech removes the [[MASC]] system and relies on [[Triple Strength Myomer]].

−	*; BRZ-D4 : This ''Berserker'' uses an [[Endo-Composite]] chassis. It uses a [[Clan]]-spec extralight engine to move at 64 km/h. A [[Compact Gyro]] that has been [[Armored Components|Armored]] makes room for an [[Angel ECM Suite]] in the center torso. The 'Mech retains the Hatchet, Flamer, Jump Jets, and Triple Strength Myomer of other ''Berserkers'', but the weaponry has been replaced with a [[Bombast Laser]] and four Clan-spec ER Medium Lasers. The largest difference is in the protection: this model has been equipped with [[Impact-Resistant Armor]]. BV (2.0) = 2,659<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 193</ref>
