Juggernaut: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:50, June 4, 2024

The Juggernaut icon.

Juggernaut is a multiplayer gametype available in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 2: Anniversary, and Halo Infinite. It was originally a version of Oddball in Halo: CE. This was later changed.

Description[edit]

There are two teams, the Juggernaut alone, and the players hunting him/her.
The only person who can earn points is the Juggernaut (hence the title).

Juggernaut is the "Halo" version of tag. Although it resembles Slayer in that one must amass so many points to win, there are two major differences.

The Juggernaut's purpose is to kill as many players as possible in order to amass points. The other players' goal is to kill the current Juggernaut, in order for them to become the next Juggernaut. To counteract the Spartans and Elites out to kill him, the Juggernaut is sometimes aided with overshields, Active camouflage, increased speed, increased damage, increased damage resistance and infinite ammo (not bottomless clip).

General Tips[edit]

When you're the juggernaut, it is important to take cover whenever under heavy fire.
Try not killing someone just as you become Juggernaut, as you are not Juggernaut until a moment after you kill the Juggernaut, if you do, you may accidentally betray that person, and you might get booted if the betrayal booting option is enabled.
Try sticking together in a team.
Get to the power weapons before the Juggernaut. (does not apply to the Halo: Reach version)
Communicate with your team-mates.

Trivia[edit]

Juggernaut was originally planned to be in Halo: CE, under the name "OGRE".
As of February 2008, the only Halo 3 playlist including "Juggernaut" is Rumble Pit.
Juggernaut is one of the least popular gametypes regarding multiplayer in the Halo trilogy.
In Halo 2, you can use the Juggernaut gametype as a type of glitch training simulator by playing as one player and setting all the options that you want like turning up your shields for a glitch that would usually kill you.
In Halo: Reach the juggernaut's head is on fire. The Juggernaut is also limited to only a Gravity Hammer and no Armor Abilities but is immune to assassinations and very resistant to damage and EMP bursts.

-The goal is to kill as many people as you can if you are the juggernaut, and to kill the Juggernaut if you are not. To counteract the angry mob of [[Spartans]] and [[Elites]] out to spill his blood, the Juggernaut is sometimes blessed with greater shielding power after assuming his title, plus a variety of other customizable things, such as [[Active Camo]], running faster, increased damage, damage resistance and infinite ammo (this doesn't mean he does not reload it just means he always has the same amount of ammo in reserve). This is one game variant where alliances can quickly go sour.

-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)

-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.
