Juggernaut
From the Call of Duty Wiki
- For the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 enemy, see Juggernaut (Enemy) .
Juggernaut is a second tier Perk in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War. In Modern Warfare, it decreases bullet and explosive damage the player takes by 25%. It cancels out and is canceled out by the Stopping Power and Sonic Boom perks. In World at War it only decreases bullet damage by 25% and does not have any effect against the Fireworks perk. The Flak Jacket perk was created to be the antithesis to Fireworks, making it less powerful in theory in World at War. In almost all situations, Juggernaut will allow the user to survive one more bullet. A Juggernaut symbol (a plus sign in a red and white circle) will appear just below the crosshairs when a player shoots an enemy player with the Juggernaut perk.

It is exactly the same as Stopping Power but in reverse, making it take one more bullet to die instead of one less bullet to kill. Weapons that are extremely dependent on Stopping Power (M21, M40A3, M16, and M14) are much worse at dealing with Juggernaut users.
In Call of Duty 4, Juggernaut has some advantages over Stopping Power. This is because Juggernaut not only cancels out bullet damage, but it also affects explosive damage and falling damage. So if a Juggernaut user and a Stopping Power user engage in a firefight, the Juggernaut will cancel out Stopping Power's bullet damage boost (and both will deal the same bullet damage to each other), but the Juggernaut will still take less damage from Grenades, Grenade Launchers, C4, Rocket Launchers, Claymores, Airstrikes, and all other explosives. However, Stopping Power is more effective on most weapons because it can be used against multiple enemies in under 5 seconds, whereas Juggernaut essentially disappears after the first hit, and health regeneration takes 5 seconds. In Hardcore however, Juggernaut is almost completely useless because it only prevents some one shot kills, and still requires no more than 2 direct hits to die.
Juggernaut allows the player to survive one extra bullet's worth of damage. Stopping Power allows the player to eliminate all enemies with one less bullet each. In a server with eight guys on the other team, Stopping Power has eight times the effectiveness of Juggernaut in most situations. Juggernaut is one of the most loathed perks in the game and is considered a very "noobish" perk to use. The ratio of use between Power and Juggernaut is more than ten to one (twenty, thirty to one, maybe). Such a massive majority of players use Stopping Power as if it were an absolute necessity that it truly does become a necessity. The few who use Juggernaut are using it more as a defense against Power rather than a Perk of its own merit. Although the negation of the Stopping Power Users' extra damage bonus tends to frustrate said players and as a result most of the COD community considers this perk cheap, noobish, etc. This is due to the fact that it takes more skill not to get hit; many Juggernaut users use it as an "alarm," being able to shrug off the first shot to return fire.
[edit] Call of Duty: World at War
Just like in Call of Duty 4 Juggernaut is loathed by players, and just like in Call of Duty 4, the Juggernaut perk reduces bullet damage taken to 75%. However, with the inclusion of Flak Jacket, explosive damage is not reduced by Juggernaut anymore.
Juggernaut is also used in 3 of the 4 Nazi Zombies levels under the name of 'Juggernog'. It allows the player to take 3-6 hits from a zombie before being downed and costs 2500 points. In 2 of the 3 levels (Der Riese and Zombie Verrückt) it requires the power to be activated before the player is able to acquire it.
[edit] Trivia
- While one of the more popular perks, it does not return in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
- The perk symbol in the Wii version for World at War is different from other console versions.
- An enemy called the "Juggernaut" appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Special Ops. Outfitted in Bomb Squad armor, this enemy sports far more extra health than the 25% offered by the perk.
