A “Zerker” is a type of account and pking build in OSRS that limits its defence to level 45. At this level players can still get access to a range of strong quest rewards such as the barrows gloves, are able to complete pest control for void equipment and get access to many more impressive items.
Optimal Stats for a Zerker Account
The two main variations in zerker builds comes down to the attack and prayer level.
At level 60 attack you have access to some of the most popular weapons, such as the dragon scimitar and dragon claws. Although players can decide to continue increasing their attack level to unlock more powerful weapons such as the Ghrazi Rapier, Armadyl Godsword and even the Scythe of Vitur.
Additionally, the prayer level can be increased beyond 55 to unlock the strongest tiers of offensive prayers, Piety, Rigour and Augury. Likewise, when gaining defensive exp its important that this is done through quest rewards, to ensure you have unlocked all of the necessary items for a zerker account.
