They're more like light gauntlets than bare fists

'''Berserk''' is a power-up [[item]] which occurs in [[Doom (2016)]] as a new version of the [[classic Doom]] [[berserk]], with similar mechanics: when the sphere is collected, the [[player]]'s vision will become clouded with a red haze and the previously active [[weapon]] will be replaced by the [[Doom Slayer]]'s bare gauntlet-armored fists. In common with the [[Doom 3]] version of the power-up, however, the power increase is dramatic - in this installation, berserk enables instant [[glory kill]]s against all [[monster]]s, allowing the player to literally rip opponents apart for a total of 30 seconds of free movement.
According to [[UAC]] research, ordinary humans could rarely survive use of a berserk sphere, and those who did would be left in a vegetative state. The rage and increased strength induced by the item would cause most users to harm any living thing in their sight, and if there was no other target available, they would even harm themselves.
