rage mode

Uncontrolled anger phase

Rage mode is a state of intense, often uncontrolled anger.

The term borrows from video games, where characters enter a rage mode with enhanced power and aggression.

In everyday use, it describes someone who has lost their temper completely: Don't talk to him right now—he's in full rage mode.

The phrase treats anger as a setting you switch into rather than an emotion that builds gradually.
