The '''Jiralhanae Berserker''' is a type of [[Jiralhanae]] specialist infantry, employed by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=InsideOct|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-october-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - October 2021|D=29|M=10|Y=2021}}

The most violent members of the Banished military, Jiralhanae Berserkers gave over rational thinking in order to destroy their enemies. In the smog-filled barrens of [[Warial|Warial’s]] [[Doda’keyt]] the Berserkers who had sworn loyalty to [[Atriox]], all proceeded to consume an unstable stim which suppressed all rational thinking and drove them insane. The Jiralhanae Berserkers are filled with unbridled anger and seek only to bathe the blood of their enemies.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p425|Enc22|Page=425}}
Numerous Jiralhanae Berserkers participated in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]. Notably, the first Jiralhanae that [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] encountered while aboard the ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'' was a Berserker who confronted him in a corridor outside the control room for Hangar One.

==Gameplay==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Jiralhanae Berserkers}}
Berserkers can be distinguished by their hunched posture, even when at ease, and mouth-covering armor. When they spot an enemy, they will roar and run towards it at high speed. They wield no guns, but strike using their fists, both with running haymakers and quick swipes and throw [[Dynamo grenade|dynamo grenades]] to stun their enemies and make them easier targets. They roar almost constantly, and their position can be determined by an attentive ear.

For protection, their armor provides them moderate resilience, and their mouthpiece must be shot off before allowing headshots. They come in two ranks, red armored and black armored with Jiralhanae [[energy shielding]] for additional protection.

The wrist blades on their arms can be shot off. However, this does not affect the amount of damage they deal with their melee attacks.

If grappled by an upgraded [[grappleshot]], black-armored Berserkers will not be electrocuted. They will instead assume a defensive posture and freeze themselves in place for several seconds.
