The berserker was the first thing I saw in June 2005 of Gameinformer's front cover, talk about great marketing. Wish I still had it, this is how it looks: www.retromags.com/gallery/image/12873-game-informer-issue-146-june-2005/

i wont forget playing gears as a kid with my brother, when we first go to the berserker it was around 1AM and we both just looked at each other, turned off the xbox and went to bed. neither of us slept that night. but hands down one of my favorite memories.

[@Matthew-Anthony]

@shawnsizemore7487 What about Savage Corpsers?

[@thecircleoft.e.d2121]

Berserkers are one of the most fun Locust enemy types to fight, regardless of what form they take; they're such a scary and awesome highlight in any Gears game they appear in. In the 1st Gears of War, they're like a survival horror enemy, in Gears 3, they're easier to kill (with their weak spot) but make up for being super aggressive, and the Matriarch in Gears 5 is a good mix of both (from what I remember of my playthrough); kicked my arse on Experienced difficulty.

[@gaminacthemaniac6444]

You know whats really scary? Fighting two berserkers by yourself in Gears of War 3 Horde. Freaking unreal.

[@travisreed1730]

I really wish the Matriarch from "5" got introduced in the original series. She's the mother of the Locust Horde, after all. It would have been awesome if they had given her bigger part, maybe made her a integral part of the Locust Council, made her a general, (imagine that, an intelligent, sentient Berserker able to speak and capable of higher thought), or made her the Queen's personal confidante and bodyguard. (That'd be a great reason for why she hates Delta Squad (and Marcus) so much, they killed her best friend and mentor, so she vowed revenge and put all her time and resources into killing them)

[@roguespectredelta1951]

The matriarch's back actually does have protection. If not damaged the back spikes will grow back and you would need to refreeze it to break the spikes. However in horde it always has its back exposed

[@idk----_]

Thank you! Glad you’ve noticed that 😊

[@stevenrusch6341]

Wouldn't t be easier, if a Berserker were to devour a Drone to reproduce, just like the praying mantis and the black widow spider? I mean, given her anger management, it's easier to just feed her, just so she chills out a bit. We could have a Drone pulsate his skin, so a Berserker could devour him like a burrito.

[@luissc217]

Yes, but the drones are not the ones who reproduce, it is the Kantus, being the alpha male caste of the horde, who have the reproduction rights (Skorge himself says it in the Raam comics), that's how Kantus and Berserkers spawn everything the rest of the locust castes

[@stevenrusch6341]

[@TheRogueCommand]

I played Gears of War 2 first so i was always missing that piece of the experience, but now I realize we probably don't see berserkers in 2 and 3 because the Locust couldn't afford to lose females after the lightmass bomb reduced their numbers. Plus, the torture barges weren't just cruelty for the sake of it, but an acceleration of Ukkon's method for making drones out of humans.

The locust horde had plenty of terrifying creatures/soldiers in their army though the berserkers, regular/lambert/matriarch, were something even the bravest Gear soldiers would make them feel true fear. While the likes of Boomers, Grinders and Maulers were just as large they had some form of control of how they attacked Gears whilst the berserkers were essentially an unstable mass of muscle that was bulletproof and would smash anything/anyone around them.
