Uruk Berserker now only wears fur armor |
|
| “ | As soon as the enemy had gained possession of the eastern end of the Fords there appeared a company of men or Orc-men (evidently dispatched for the purpose), ferocious, mail-clad, and armed with axes. | ” |

Uruk berserkers are larger and even more fearsome versions of the Uruk-hai, the strongest Uruks to ever come out of the pits of Isengard and a terrifying foe for the enemies of Saruman.
Spawning[]
These Uruks spawn in Rohan and the Adornland at night, and spawn any time of the day in the Fangorn wasteland, Uruk highlands and Nan Curunír.
Unlike most Uruks, Uruk Berserkers spawn with fur armor and a large, intimidating Uruk Berserker helmet. While this does significantly lower their defense, they make up for this with a powerful melee attack and speed. They are faster than a regular Uruk, yet slower than Uruk Sappers. They are also taller than most Uruks, and are unable to fit in spaces shorter than 3 blocks tall.
Behaviour[]
Uruk Berserkers will attack any player or enemy NPC with a negative Isengard alignment, and will do so with frightening speed and ferocity. When idle, they will wander the lands aimlessly, occasionally eating Maggoty Bread or drinking Orc Draught. When a rabbit is nearby, they will sometimes randomly become hostile towards it, killing it. They have even deeper voices than regular Uruks. As of Public Beta 26, they no longer have smoke above their heads. They are easily recognizable due to the White Hand that has been pressed onto their helmets.
They had full Uruk Armour in older versions of the mod, so they took a lot more damage to kill in the past. However, they now have greater attack strength to make up for their much less protective armor, making them hit as hard as Half-Trolls. In conclusion, Uruk Berserkers are thought today like glass-cannons, very violent and powerful units that are also very fragile. They die quickly but they're supposed to quickly kill their foes as well. They're particularly effective to sweep weak or wounded foes, but they struggle a bit more against tough foes, even if they weaken them enough for Isengard Snagae to finish the job.
Hiring[]
These powerful units can be yours with an Isengard alignment of +300, pledge and 60 silver coins.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| High health | Weak armour |

| Quite cheap in both coins and alignment considering its strength | Pledge required |
| Very effective to deal with weaker foes like Rohirrim or Gondor Soldiers. | Can't ride Wargs |
| Fast attack speed especially when compared to many other NPCs that do the same amount of damage; Uruk berserkers wield sword-type weapons while other 7-damage NPCs wield slower battleaxes and warhammers | Struggles alot against tougher enemies like elves, dwarves or swan-knights. |
| Can randomly drink Orc Draught which gives them a strength and speed boost |
