Description

Juggernaut is a multiplayer game mode.

Popular Gametype(s)

Hide 'N Seek

The objective of this game is to not get killed by the juggernaut, hence the name. The juggernaut has an overshield, and the players have active camouflage. The juggernaut radar is turned off, but player radar is turned on. Map Default or Pistols for map weapons, and the sword and pistol for the juggernaut & players. A suggested level for this is a small level (eg. Lockout)

Strategies

In 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 1 game variants, it would be best for the team of two to stick together. Non-juggernauts are encouraged to use quick firing weapons, especially the Plasma Pistol (The plasma pistol drains the Juggernaut's shields with an overcharged shot). Don't go for power weapons all the time or the Juggernaut is gifted these should you be killed. Plasma grenades will come in handy as it is an instant kill with a grenade stick.

Juggernauts can play around with weapon combinations, but are encouraged to move stealthily and swiftly. Juggernauts can hog the power weapons, or go for the conventional noob combo. Juggernauts must try to avoid grenade sticks and assassinations at all cost, as these cause instant kills, even for a well shielded Juggernaut.
