Yes  Francesca Pierfelice: Il Collins online riferisce che il termine appartiene allo slang australiano; dunque tradurrei "to go berko" col nostro "impazzire"(sott. di rabbia). https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/berko

infuriato


Definition from Oxford languages dictionary:
Violentemente adirato, molto arrabbiato, furioso, furibondo (anche + per o con, contro ): uscì di casa i.; era i. per l'accaduto; i tifosi erano i. con (o contro) l'arbitro.

Example sentence(s):
  • Diesel, clienti infuriati: chi ha comprato un’auto scopre i vantaggi EV - Tecnoandroid  
  • BCC di Sesto, clienti infuriati per la chiusura della storica sede - Sesto notizie  
  • Bonolis scherza su Juve e arbitri, tifosi infuriati - ADN Kronos  

Explanation:
Personalmente trovo "furibondo" un po' arcaico rispetto a "berko" che è slang australiano, e comunque anche la frase "andare su tutte le furie" per "to go berko" richiamata nell'altra proposta avrebbe come aggettivo naturale "infuriato". Una frase idiomatica italiana corrispondente più moderna dal mio punto di vista potrebbe essere "andare giù di testa".
