The Rune berserker shield is a reward that can be purchased with tokens from the Fist of Guthix minigame, but can also be bought on the grand exchange. It requires 45 defence to wield. When charged, it gives slightly higher defensive bonuses than a Rune kiteshield (along with a strength bonus), making it the strongest melee shield available to non-members (besides the corrupt dragon shield, which is not at all easily obtained). It is also comparable to the Obsidian shield, except that the Rune berserker shield has a lower strength bonus and a much lower ranged defence bonus. It is also arguably harder to acquire than the Obsidian shield. Like Barrows equipment its bonuses will only decrease after the shield has completely degraded to 0%, but unlike Barrows equipment it does so after only 5 hours of solid combat. When completely degraded, or uncharged, it will have lower defence bonuses than a Black kiteshield but will retain a +2 strength bonus and become tradeable. It will cost 50 Fist of Guthix tokens to recharge it again. When first released, its price skyrocketed from 150 000 to almost 340 000. It has since fallen to its current Grand Exchange price. Although it can't be purchased in a set and can not be bought trimmed it is the second best free world shield next to the corrupt dragon square shield.

As with all Fist of Guthix equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.
