MW3 In Depth - Juggernaut (Recon, Assault, Health, and Quirks)

[@PaTcHiZzEl]

You forgot to mention the quickest way of killing a juggernaut: care packages. The darned things will drop a jugg instantly.

[@ForestX77]

Man Driftor had a mouth back then where the hell did this attitude go ?

[@ryanwhite3393]

I miss this game so much.

[@djspaceinvader5548]

Ryan White same

[@splinter360]

Yh same. Best cod multiplayer. So much more of everything and was fun.

[@dognaper321]

driftor, you do a great job, dw about specific numbers, that range of health for the jug is already an excellent range for us to get an idea, we still love ya :P

[@ltcolrayquaza]

Support juggernaut in FFA will wreck house if you mannage to hold down a fort with half the enemies gunning for you, plus they almost never gang up to take you down. it's chaos at it's finest, made a whole lobby of 8/8 leave.

[@valentinovinimon5494]

how to be OP jugg? step 1 : in support killstreaks put balistic vests and jugg recon and any other killstreak you want , step 2 : get balistic vests , step 3 : get jugg, step 4 : put down balistic vests and call the jugg. step 5: take the vests FIRST,THAN the jugg. step 6: enjoy extra health u got there :D

[@mr.h7021]

Valentino vinimon vests dont add health to the jugg.....

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

@@mr.h7021 3 years late but thanks for saying this saw this and nearly had a stroke

[@weakestlink20]

This would explain why my FAD melts them so much, since it has a 1.7X.

[@JDPhotographyCanada]

I learned that assault jugs suck on interchange...I feel like a giant truck with no wheels.

[@breamnaiade1794]

*Sigh* Juggernauts were so much better in MW3. Ghosts absolutely ruined them.

[@momoisbased]

The assault jugg in ghosts is soooooo fucking slow they need to make him faster

[@stein2312]

Francisco Ratliff Do you know what the consept of a JUGGERNAUT is. you are supposed to be kind of a tank. Tell me whenever you see a juggernaut and another enemy who would you target? Oh and if the juggernaut was faster in ghosts it would basicly be almost impossible to counter. and you want a fast juggernaut? Try the maniac.

[@samwayne8961]

fucking juggs in ghost suck, no health regen and not much health. the minigun sucks and the .44 magnum sucks

[@frenzythebeast]

Sam Vegas Ghost just sucks. I win

[@stein2312]

Sam Vegas The minigun does not suck. it mows people down... only thing is the ammo capacity. and btw it is a killstreak so therefor it has no health regen.

[@fadalisdestroyer666]

Drift0r, your killstreak in depth videos are more interesting funny than gun reviews (the beginning LOLZ)

[@milesdye1962]

Drift0r I think that the juggernaut amor works like a wall and since some guns have better wall penetration that’s why they have to do more damage Than others would do have to

[@Bngrppr-on9nl]

Nicely hypothesised. However fad has lower penetration than something like pkp or other higher cal firearms. The fn five seven should tear through the armor, but it doesn't.

[@seann2769]

B0ngr1pp3r 77 coming back to these comments during MW2019’s lifecycle is crazy. I miss this game a lot.

[@sssdoom]

Drift0r, it'd be extremely nice to see something related to the Juggernaut in Hardcore, and I was hoping to see something in this video. The juggernaut's may be the same overall, but the health and damage they take are hugely different, I've been easily killed in one or two shots while using the juggernaut by SMGs and other smaller weapons that normally wouldn't even dent the Juggernaut. Also, the Semtex seems to almost be an ensured kill on Hardcore as well.

[@TurtleCake1]

Maybe they DO have 1000 health but by the time you shoot them they recover pretty fast...

[@conormcdaddyofficialdickri2383]

Health doesn't regenerate 100%.

[@conormcdaddyofficialdickri2383]

After so long you're not able to take as much damage and I'm not sure why

[@brundain1]

+Turtle Cake or they have different body multipliers

[@andreizedlav7303]

The Juggernauts have body multipliers and special "armor" multipliers for different weapons.

[@OviWanKeno9i]

Same here. I'm really happy for the engineering approach and using data sets instead of guessing.

[@TofuRabbit]

actually, I find the pp90m1 very useful against jugs, you just need to flash them and spam your magazine seeking for headshots. You can also throw a knife on the jug, which surprisingly does a lot of damage and can really help you in the process of taking him out

[@ninhbac04]

I'm glad i'm taking statistics and know what a standard deviation and outliers are.

[@DeuslMortis]

Just a tip that wasn't in the video. I almost exclusively use the MK14 with Rapid Fire and Extended Mags, and I've got a decent trigger finger. An MK14 set up that way will always kill a Juggernaut in less than one clip. I've killed a lot of Jugs like that so far, and if you have the trigger finger for it you can drop them in about 20 shots.

[@coltozelo]

i can't freackin believe he uploaded it

[@Nudo1]

i'm guessing each jugg has different hp lol. i really like your work, it probably takes a whole bunch of time but it's very helpful. keep it up!

[@TehRuiAlv3z]

My best Recon Juggernaut was on a game of Drop Zone. Picked it up with score 5-0 on the Drop Zone (my team mate's care package) and ended the game 54-0 (with 12 assists). Map was Dome. I got stuck twice, a Striker Foregrip clip was put on me and two sniper (l118a) headshots taken and still alive. That was really good fun.

[@stilllife8]

No, there's health regen, and I think it's actually accelerated because you get back to full health only slightly slower than you normally would, meaning you get back 15x the health in only about 1.2-1.5x the time.

[@fozzybearFTW]

Recon juggernaut is so good, on ground war you just have hardline pro, juggernaut obviously, but ballistic vests then recon drone. I think you get a point for every vest taken, and every other assist from the recon drone gets you even more points towards the juggernaut. And even without all that, you only need 18 points in a game to get it :)

[@BooImAlex]

Loved the "well Herp de da derpa da de Derp driftor I know my barret does more damage then my pistol, what do you think I'm ignorant ha." XD

[@InZax_x]

When I tested this a while ago for Hardcore, I didn't really go too in depth with it, but found that it was soaking around 1350 damage, at least in Hardcore. Again, I didn't realize that each gun had different effects on the Juggernaut though. I can tell you though, that the Juggernaut is absolutely pointless in Hardcore game modes. You should try using it haha.

[@ChildofMadness9]

Just to tell you quick effects the damage of lmg a great deal. They increase it by a pretty good amount so it can go against the slowly to med change guns in speed of down sights however guns with faster gun sights will still probably blow someone with a lmg and quick draw away, even more so if they have quick draw.

[@maxphilly]

Looking back the support jugg in mw3 is my favourite killstreak of all time

[@lanman951]

Standard deviation and extreme outliers, I am back in stats class!! PS love your commentaries and this series, math and video games, is there a better combination?!?!?

[@SnshineLolipops]

I'm not sure how long it takes to start regenerating health with a jugg, but I would would think that this would explain the differences in damage required. Assuming that health regen is instant, the longer it takes to do the damage, the more damage required. LMG's, Barrett, large magazines, less time reloading. Skorpion fires a lot slower than FMG9, also has smaller mags. P90 kills quick because it has huge magazine. Other SMG's take longer because they reload so slow.

[@gold3263301]

That was the general consensus about Juggernaut health; rather than actually increasing health, it gives you a heavily decreased damage multiplier on all parts of your body, "effectively" giving you over 1000 health.

[@Source981]

Really your analisis are extreme good!!, you Test all of the category and for this I prefer in a lot of times your "Tips"

[@GeneralGreenBud420]

The assault Juggernaut has a special ADD reload time for the MP412. It is ridiculously faster. And you can pick up your equipment if you place it before taking the juggernaut (P/R, Trophy) besides that awsome video

[@scootermac119]

an rpg does kill a jugg in one direct hit. I do it quite often by running directly to where an enemy jug package is dropped and then shoot them shortly after they pick it up. The wiki doesnt actually say how much damage the rpg does in MW3 but in black ops it did 170, which if tgats the case its interesting that a point-blank shot without the damage proficiency(252dmg) cant kill a jugg kinda messed up if you think about it.

[@Otacustes]

Driftor, haven't you posted this gameplay before? I remember seeing it. Good info as always!

[@lassitershawn3372]

Juggernaut Recon is my favorite pointstreak. I earn it 75% of the matches I have it on and 50% of those matches I survive the rest of the match after getting it. The key is NOT thinking you are an invincible wall. If you play cautiously like you normally would you can wreak havoc because of all the advantages of the suit. When you are heavily damaged or flashed, switch to the shield. Every few seconds check the radar to make sure no one is behind you. Lastly, spam that .45!

[@h3f5]

hello. call in some mates, take the L86 LSW with grip and thermal, and defend positions and key points, and always remain at mid to long range. You`ll see how this LMG is effective. Otherwise, any of the LMGs could be used in a "team supporting" weapon, unless you`re using the specialist strike package, which eventually makes you a human tank, capable of both rushing and defending.

[@JZoidberg41]

He just released the video. The buff is already in effect in his testing.

[@Dark5pectre]

I believe that the actual juggernaut health is the same as a normal person. The damage resistances are simply up a lot for less bullet and explosive damage. You'll die from the same height fall whether you're a jugg or not. Falling is your enemy as a juggernaut, it'll drain your health very quickly making you easy pickings for enemy players.

[@inuriakiller]

Just curious? How long are you waiting between shots when you count them? Not sure, but could health regeneration be different for them? Do they have faster health regeneration, that could cause they crazy gap in trying to find how much health they actually have? Your vids are great either way thanks and keep up the great work!!

[@RASProductions90]

Could there possibly be an armor degradation factor? Such as, the more damage one area takes, the gradually less incoming damage that area will block? Like the way range works, but for armor. And possibly a step system for the health regeneration. If you're injured past a certain point, you will only recover up to a certain point, but not back to full health.

[@bark28]

kept saying throughout my stats class "when will i ever need to know standard deviation?" well, i needed to know it now.

[@shaun__3]

@Drift0r During COD XP, Jug was 1000 health. But the hardcore players who went complained it was OP. Thus changing it...

[@ShadowXAvengerNo7]

If you havent noticed, when the juggernaut icon appears on enemy minimap the RPG's and FMG9's come out...you do know that your screwed if you go into their spawn.

[@EpiKxxSAuCE]

I never said it didn't. Glad you got the esteem boost you needed.

[@Viiicarious]

Love your in depth vids

[@mosestanjy]

It is true that the stinger online cannot lock on, only in private matches. When you are online, your stinger does not even produce that beeping sound of the lock on. I have tried it many times, even with the Assault juggernaut.Maybe it's a glitch. You also cannot lock on onto sentries online.

[@ryansample6360]

There seems to be the equivalent of a thick, popped collar that covers the full neck area on the body armor of the Juggernauts. Said popped collar is accosiated with douchebags. The Juggernaut is basically a Douchebag Suit... ...Well played, Infinity Ward. Well played.

[@MrJayosworld]

That's a damn good question. I for one, would love to see this answered.

[@nachowarrior1]

When waiting for the game to load, I found on the the bottom the game message said, "Not all Juggernauts are the same."

[@JoshuaSchonfeld]

I've definitely killed at least the Recon Juggernaut with only one RPG. I can't quite remember if I've done so on an Assault Juggernaut or not, however. The key is that it is a direct hit around center mass, not at their feet.

[@KATANAG0D]

@Drift0r, If you ever see any information that's off on the wiki, go ahead and edit it so it's up to date :D

[@Slingsomelead]

Hay drift0r, Is there any possible way to test the care packages? More specifically the frequency of what comes out and how often. Of course the uav, pred,ims, and sentry are common. But the higher kill streaks seem to be sporadic. And I swear I get more assault drones than I should. I would just love to see some raw numbers. Testing this would be difficult, but difficult seems to be right up your ally. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@Tool0GT92]

When I see "You make an excellent distraction" I think of Rainman "I'm an excellent driver"

[@TheGormanicus]

So many numbers....MY BRAIN!!!!!!! Really helpful though, thanks again!

[@rahkshifan99]

First time I got an assault juggernaut from a care package I was SO happy! I'm used to the recon juggernaut but the assault was awesome! Might try Predator Missile>Reaper>Juggernaut

[@Zactastical]

I do hope you understand that different weapons do different damage at different ranges. It can get very complicated and not even worth figuring out with that many variants.

[@84baggedchevy]

Always an amazing video THANX driftor

[@Lagger01]

wasn't there a pro perk that made you invincible to stuns and flashes in MW2? Bring that back, maybe then it can counter assassin in the second slot.

[@IcarusGamer1]

Drift0r, can you go in-depth with the other proficiencies? I want to see the statistics of all of them, and how effective can it be with each gun.

[@genesisSOC]

You forgot to mention that you can't Stinger lock on to either of the two Juggernauts that you get from Dropzone. You can only Stinger lock on to manually called in Juggernauts.

[@samithedood]

looking at the guns you say are less effective, they are the ones that have small caliber bullets according to your "impact" episode, I wonder if this is factoring in to make a difference and perhaps Impact has an effect.

[@koelewim]

There's a loading screen tip stating "not all juggernaughts are the same" explains the health deviation maybe?

[@tsuikyit5511]

4:47 was the best part lol

[@MrFlame0]

I find that an AA-12 at point blank range drops jugs insanely fast especially with damage and extended mags

[@john_doe_trainee]

Jugg is killed by a single Pred Missile, that deals 1000 dmg. So or juggs has special multipliers for explosions, or their health is really 1000.

[@DNthekos]

The damage taken by the player using the Juggernaut Armor is divided by 10. The CoD wiki information just assumed that the Juggernaut has 1000 health because of that. If you want to discuss more about this, please visit thhe Call of Duty wiki Chat.

[@darklord4878]

So glad they’re back in MW. Can’t wait to suit back up 😏

[@TheMitsiosPower]

Great video as always man. Keep up the good work! What about a video showing which weapons worth going for a head shot and which not? Thumps up if you want it too guys :)))

[@Yan.H]

not likely, health regen in COD works this way: you take damage, you ran away and you hide. Now the moment you stopped taking damage, a timer starts, when 5 seconds elapsed, your health, no matter how low, is instantly restored to 100. since it requires a window of 5 seconds without any damage, even flashbangs or stun grenades(they do 1 point of damage to you). I doubt Driftor fires one bullet per 5 seconds and I doubt the juggernaut point streak change this mechanic

[@Rizz3n]

I'd like to see and In Depth about Prestige. Like what you'd recommend to spend your tokens on.

[@SubZero01A]

Actually they patched the Stinger so it does not lock on to jugs anymore in public matches, the only ground support it locks on to now is the Assault Drone.

[@k33p1ng1tr3al]

Awesome video man.

[@TheCrazyFPSman]

imo i think that if kills with a juggernaut counted towards getting a moab more ppl would use the killstreak and also more ppl would try kill it. i think this is a good idea to make it a more used killstreak.

[@fifabank-1977]

Whose here after mw announced juggs are back?

[@razorjon22]

The reason that guns work differently is because in the loading screen for a game it says "not all juggernauts are alike"

[@BHassan786]

i think different guns have different damages with the jugg because you have to penetrate the armor first so it would reduce your bullet damage and weapons with higher penetration will be better to kill a Juggernaut.

[@noraku80]

it's ground war, normally it shows 12 player max on the screen, but you got 18 player so the extra 6 enemy players requires you to scroll down to see them.

[@MrTWICETHEPRESHA]

Yes it does. The FMG9 can fire the 9x19mm round, the same as the Skorpion.

[@tomat3460]

@Drifter Do a In Depth about the first, second and third perk... I would love to hear about the perk where you can have two attachments

[@sadpandadrake]

hey Drift0r! i found out if you have a tactical insertion then put on the juggernaut armor and pick up the T.I. after you throw down the smoke grenade you get a portable radar as equipment! test it out idk if it still works

[@Lagger01]

doesnt pro half the time you are affected by stun and flash grenades? Also that perk is badass, knifing dead mans hand assholes without dying makes me happy.

[@Rara_ow]

The juggernauth is a very teamplay killstreak because you become a center of atttention and also for the enemy team because unless you are using a rpg and direct hit the jugg there is now way you can kill a jugg without being like 3 people trying hard to kill him

[@ReznovRulz]

Depends on the computer. On consoles, Call of Duty is consistently at 60fps while it changes on a PC based upon how good yours is. My laptop is not as good as a console, but my desktop is better. Unfortunately though it can't play games that run perfectly on a 360 just because most of those games were originally designed for console.

[@MrJayyyson]

i think lower caliber rounds do less penetrative power than say higher caliber like a .50 cal. I recall a mission in mw2 when they said "use a high caliber weapon on the juggernauts" They could have incorporated that.

[@awsidney]

Did you try the pistol to the toe glitch on the jug? Also when shooting a jug does Blindeye Pro affect the damage like it does to helicopters?

[@ProRay298the]

For the video after, you should do lethal and/or tactical equipment

[@Jordykill1997]

jugs don't have blind eye, you get the perks scavenger, quickdraw(I think) and sitrep

[@ajb996]

I heard somewhere that Juggernaut has 100 health but it has 0.1 damage multiplier that's probably why you couldn't get exact figure for their health!

[@outlier227]

you left out the fact that if you put down a trophy system before you pick up your recon jug (haven't tried assault) if you pick it up after you have the armor on you get two portable radars

[@tonym2786]

where you get a juggernaut I would just lockdown a area. I love it when someone try go across the map and if you have a few players around you can light'em up and kill the juggernaut in a short time.

[@xblmc5teve]

In the past I was able to lock onto juggernauts using the stinger, but the last few times that I tried, the stinger wouldn't even lock on. wouldn't even make the beeping, locking-on sound.

[@SilverSting6]

when you do the in depth meters, please include silencer, range proficiency, and how the two interact (do they offset?)

[@ALostCAWs]

VS Battle, best In Depth for MW3: Drift0r vs I2aw Instinct vs TmarTn

[@TheMe9595]

Did you try taking fire rate and penetration into account? I have a strange feeling that it might make some kind of difference.

[@MrTroll234]

you could use the xm25 to judge distance since the numbers come up

osprey gunner, the killstreak that drops like 4 care packages and you control the gun is not support. It is an 18 killstreak from assault

[@JZoidberg41]

It isn't only anti-air, it also locks onto Assault Drones.

[@monkaWGiga]

I've had it once before and you do lose your specialist so you have to work out whether or not its worth it.
