Resistance 3 Walkthrough Primer Guide

Berserks

Kill streaks in the game are based around your current race. This can lead to interesting dynamics during team based modes.

Assault Shield

Humans that gain three kills in a row will gain a powerful frontal shield. This will reduce or outright nullify damage taken from the front, including attempted headshots. However the shield does not cover your backside, leaving you open to rear attacks. Like other shields, this Berserk is great for holding positions or advancing during Chain Reaction.

Cloak

Chimeras that gain three kills in a row can cloak themselves. This will keep you invisible to enemy players, however you will be revealed when shooting and still be spotted via Thermal Vision. During this time enemy forces can also spot you, nearly canceling out your cloak. Despite this, the Cloak should give you enough advantage to score one or two stealth kills.

Auger

After gaining six kills in a row both Humans and Chimera can gain the Auger rifle. This gun can spot enemies and fire through walls. The bullets are a tad slow and noticeable against frontal attacks, but can be devastating when the enemy is distracted by the rest of your team. With this gun equipped you can easily camp out in a far corner and pick off enemies ones by one.

Combat Armor

Humans that gain nine kills in a row are awarded hefty power armor. This greatly increases your health and gives you a powerful grenade launcher. This Berserk has a huge potential for obliterating groups of foes and can swiftly capture objectives. Keep in mind that using this Berserk will most likely turn you into the priority target, but the increased defenses should be enough to survive most reprisals.

Mutate

This is the Berserk for Chimera that achieve nine kills in a row. Similar to Combat Armor, you will be transformed into a Ravager with boosted to health and damage. The same strategies apply for the Chimeran version, so reserve the Berserk for taking objectives or slamming down large groups.
