How to unlock the Lock And Load achievement in Red Faction: Armageddon - Definitive Guide
Berserk, while active, puts a blue light around you and causes you to fire/reload quite a bit faster. Each time you kill an enemy, Berserk's "timer" will slow down a bit. You can tell Berserk is about to run out when the high pitched sound gets louder, and it finally "explodes" off your character.
The easiest way to get this achievement is to use any place where there are a lot of enemies (the final parts of the game for example). Then, activate Berserk, kill an enemy, wait a second, kill an enemy, and repeat. If there are at least 6-8 enemies nearby this should be no problem with Berserk upgraded (the last upgrade isn't neccessary, but it does give you unlimited ammo while in Berserk which can be handy for saving time).
The achievement will pop when Berserk ends after successfully keeping it active for 21 seconds or more.
I finished the game on hard by doing that on the harder sections.
Can be earned in Infestation mode.
To use Berserk, hold and press (in campaign) or press (when it is selected in Infestation) whenever your nano charge is full. Your character will turn blue and all attacks will be stronger and faster. Berserk lasts for a few seconds, and every kill will reset the 'timer' for Berserk, so to get this, make sure you're in an area with lots of enemies and make sure to kill an enemy every time the Berserk bar is almost out to reset it. It should take about 8 Berserk resets to reach 21 seconds. Read “Haymaker” for a good location to do this.
The berserk nano power becomes purchaseable about halfway through the game. To use it, hold and press . This achievement is nearly impossible to get if you haven't fully upgraded the berserk nano power, so upgrade it before going for this achievement. You will notice a red bar which drains on the middle of your screen when this power is activated. To replenish this bar you need to kill enemies fast. I killed about 6 enemies with the beserk power fully upgraded and unlocked this achievement.
