How to unlock the Hammer Down achievement in Diablo IV - Definitive Guide

This can be earned quite early as a barbarian, by about level 7/8.

On the skill tree second section, Core Skills, select Upheaval -> Enhanced Upheaval ->Violent Upheaval.

With that as long as your skill hits at least 2 enemies you will begin Berserking for 2 seconds. Simply use it on a group of enemies and you'll light up in flames for a few seconds to show you are Berserking.

Edit:
Also as mentioned by andrews1022 if you select your basic skill as Lunging Strike -> Enhanced Lunging Strike -> Combat Lunging Strike you can potentially start working at this even earlier/have more chances to berserk, though it only activates on a critical strike so it may not be as effective.

This is a much better solution. And as a side note, you can start working towards this even sooner. In the first cluster of skills, select Lunging Strike > Enhanced Lunging Strike > Combat Lunging Strike. It does only give 1.5s, but it's a start. Upheaval is great too!

That is true, but it is only for Critical Strikes, which lessens the chance of getting it considerably, but I will add it!

If you completed the game and have renown with another character this is even easier. I started my character and already had 6 or 7 skill points. Set both from the guide and game on at lvl 1!

Popped it at lvl 5. Did the 1st two side quests and 2 mini events near them. Too easy

Barb can get this pretty easy. Play whatever skill you like I personally like spinnin. Once you get to level 15 or so you should be able to unlock an ability called Warcry, right behind warcry is another skill that makes Warcry give you berserk. Yell and kill some stuff, cheevo unlocked.

Voici la traduction de votre message : “La compétence dont vous avez besoin est Warcry, c’est une compétence de bagarre sur le quatrième nœud de l’arbre des compétences. Tout ce que vous avez à faire est de l’obtenir et ensuite de déverrouiller la compétence après celle-ci appelée Enchanced Warcry.” J’espère que cela vous aide!

Berserking is a status ailment in Diablo 4 - it basically happens when your Barbarian is pumped up, boosting movement speed and damage output. While from the off it might seem like you need to unlock the Wrath of the Berserker Ultimate to unlock Berserking, that’s not actually true. Other abilities trigger this state, such as an upgraded basic attack, Lunging Strike with the Combat Lunging Skill modifier, and the Core abilities Upheaval (with the Violent Upheaval modifier) and Double Swing (with Furious Double Swing, you can extend it). There are plenty of other Berserking skills in the combat tree that can trigger Berserking, or even improve its effectiveness, like:
  • The Enhanced Wacry (an upgraded Warcry).
  • Battle Fervour (must unlock Aggressive Resistance first).
  • Fighter’s Steel Grasp (an upgraded Steel Grasp ability).
  • Wrath of the Berserker.
  • Unconstrained (in the last skill tree area).
Use those abilities to trigger Berserker and rack up 50 kills, and this achievement is yours - you’ll know when it’s activated, as your character will glow a little. The truth is, if you’re playing as a Barbarian, you’ll unlock this at some point without forcing it. If not, you know what to do now.

I advise you to learn the skill from the beginning of the game:
“Lunge” and in its branch learn first “Strong Lunge” and then “Strong Lunge”.

We throw 3 points in Basic skills into “Land Selection” -> “Enhanced Land Surge” -> “Cruel Land Selection” and hit the packs. Completed at character level 7
