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 it's target to bring it's incredibly destructive power to bear on an enemy. To do this, the Berserker is propelled to a top speed of 86.4 kph by using a Pitban 400 XL Engine and a MASC system. The Berserker also uses sixteen double heat sinks to handle the heavy heat load produced by it's arsenal of high heat energy weapons. The Berserker is armored with eighteen and a half tons of armor with a Guardian ECM Suite to protect against electronic warfare equipment and is equipped with a MainFire Point Defense Anti-Missile System to provide protection from missile attacks.
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 it's target. As the range gap closes the 'Mech is able to bring it's two Sutel Precision Line Large Pulse Lasers to bear on it's target more than doubling the amount of damage the Berserker can inflict on a target. Finally, as it closes to arms reach the Berserker can use its Hatchet to deadly effect. A Flamer is also carried in the head, more for an intimidation effect than any practical combat use.
Variants
- 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 LRM 10 launchers which allow the 'Mech to sit at long ranges and bombard the enemy. If a 'Mech closes to short range, the Berserker can act as it's own bodyguard by using it's Hatchet. BV (1.0) = 1,659
- BRZ-C3 - An upgrade of the Berserker that makes use of a Light Fusion Engine and a C3 network, the C3 variant removes both of the Large Pulse Lasers. In their place, six ER Medium Lasers and a C3 Slave unit have been added. The 'Mech removes the MASC system and relies on Triple Strength Myomer. When operating in the proper heat range the 'Mech is able to move at speeds similar to that of the A3 model and can do a dramatically higher amount of damage with it's Hatchet. BV (1.0) = 1,722
