How to Fight Elites and Beserkers in Vermintide 2 

have you masted them yet?

All of the berserker attack patterns are shown in this video. Monks only have that one initial flurry, and chaos berserkers only have that one form of attack (other than single axe swipes and the jump attack)

What specifically would you like to see in the video?

@@jtcLIVE something similar, but how to deal with the elites when they're surrounded by horde, especially multiple elites and mixed types of elites

@jtcLIVE I would suggest breaking it down into two segments or videos. One with footage of a cata true solo with specials off and another in a regular 4-man cata. Then explain how your tactics have to change (particularly involving long-wind-up attacks) between the settings.

They're much scarier than boss imho

I do the same thing with warrior priest hammer and shield (or flail/shield depending on how I'm feeling) Berserkers and plague monks became on non-issue once I figured out stagger breakpoints.

What is your profile picture?

Its alot easier to keep track of when beserkers stop swinging rather than when they are swinging, since both types of berserkers have an attack that has to go through a charge animation that takes a few seconds to get through first, and this is ideally the time you want to attack them since their final heavy attacks are very obvious and easy to dodge. If you're fighting a large group of them are their frenzies are staggered to the point where there is always one in a frenzy its better to stagger them with a shout or bomb or just back off and let them all reset and then go back in and fight them Off the top of my head, chaos beserkers have 5 attacks in their flurry while monks have 4(?), not counting the telegraphed heavy attack at the end. The more you fight them and get used to fighting them though you'll just get a kind of "internal clock" that instinctively tells you when to start blocking and when to start attacking, and when you get that its MUCH easier to fight them.

@@jtcLIVE sounds like it's mostly practice/nerves on my end. I barely have 100 hrs now so I guess I'm over thinking the number of attacks bit. The internal clock defo makes since, as I feel a better rythem on some careers (I play a little of everyone). Thanks for the help! The zerkers and monks usually lead me to panic, hold block, maybe shove, and back peddle before wiffing their openings. If I can help it I try to kill them from range before they have a chance to rush, but in melee I [pray] try to focus on getting them off my allies / wait for my allies to get them off me. Are shoves unreliable/inconsistent? I find trying to shove ends with waisted stam unless it was a shield bash?
