Description

Barbarians in Dark and Darker are fierce and savage warriors, who rely on their raw strength and animalistic rage to tear apart their enemies. They are masters of close-quarters combat, using powerful two-handed weapons or even their bare hands to strike their foes with devastating force. Barbarians are also known for their endurance and stamina, allowing them to keep fighting long after other warriors have fallen. Their primal instincts give them an uncanny ability to sense danger and react quickly, making them ideal for surprise attacks or ambushes.

- Do not open chests or doors the regular way, just break them with the Crush perk. Your interaction speed is too slow. (However, breaking them will not grant EXP.)

- Your ranged options are limited, try to force enemies into close quarters where you excel. Cornering and ambushing are valuable strategies.

- Try not to fight faster classes while using Two-Handed weapons, their swing speed is very slow, allowing swift opponents to bait your attack and punish you during the recovery time. Have either a Hatchet or a Horseman's Axe as a secondary to deal with them. If you don't have such a secondary, press X to take out your fists.

- Francisca Axes deal a lot of damage combined with the Axe Specialization Perk. Don't underestimate the Francisca Axes, they deliver a powerful slow effect, enabling you to close the gap or outright 2-3 shot low health classes like the Wizard.

- Use your ability to smash through doors to make aggressive plays and surprise enemy players.

- Utilize Move Speed buffs such as Rage, Wizard's Haste, or Bard's Accelerando to mitigate your slow movement speed.

- Berserker perk physical damage bonus is negatively affected by Health Bonus % like Robust, War Cry, and Blood Exchange, which all add together.
