The Juggernaut is a special zombie in World War Z. He became a permanent addition to the undead horde in the "Valley of the Zeke" update.
The heavily armoured Juggernaut is a variant of the dreaded Bull enemy.
Physical Appearance[]
Its appearance is much like so of its other counterpart the Bull, except this hulking brute is wearing a large set of armour, which looks like an E.O.D. (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Suit instead of the standard Riot Gear uniform.
Abilities & Behavior[]
While the Juggernaut is highly similar to the Bull, this enemy's attacks mainly consist of the simple Bull Rushing without the use of the "grab and slam" attack: the player gets knocked down for a moment and loses a portion of their health.
Weaknesses[]
Even though the Juggernaut Boasts incredible armour, he has 2 weak spots: the legs and the visor. Unlike the Bull, it does not have the "Exposed Spine" vulnerability. Despite the fact that he wears a bomb-resistant suit, it is still possible to kill him using explosives and fire. The following weapons are highly effective against the Juggernaut:
- Payload Rifle (50 .BMG rifle)
- Commando and Non-Commando Missile Launchers
- Explosive Machine Gun
- Advanced Combat Weapon
Strengths[]
While the weaknesses may make this intimidating adversary seem more than a little weak in reality, it has several strengths that make this enemy a unique threat:
- Tank: the health pool of this enemy is large.
- The "Bull Rush" ability.
- Resistance to melee attacks.
- Resistance to electricity: this enemy does not get stunned by the Slasher's tasers, drones equipped with a Stun Gun, and high-voltage grids.
- Resistance to baiting: while the Juggernaut is charging, equipment that is supposed to attract the Zeke does not attract the Juggernaut.
- Unlike the regular Bull, the Juggernaut does not stop mid-charge if his target uses a masking effect.
- Resistance to center mass shooting.
Strategy & Tactics[]
- Avoid CQC (Close Quarters Combat): remember that the Juggernaut is extremely resistant to melee weapons. Exclusively relying on a Chainsaw or a Machete to deal with this enemy is highly ineffective. The Juggernaut mainly relies on getting close to its target using the Rush Attack and knocking it over, temporarily incapacitating the target for other Zeke to finish it off. When the Juggernaut gets close enough, he will use swipe attacks against his target. This is why it is important to keep your distance from this enemy.
- Exploit weaknesses: they consist of the "kneecap", "Boom!", and "Burn!" attacks. Explosive and incendiary ammunition and equipment is highly effective against Juggernauts.
- Aim for the head: destroying the Juggernaut's visor will cause further headshots to deal more damage.
