How to Defeat Juggernauts in Modern Warfare 3 Survival Mode
87Juggernauts are heavily armored enemies in Modern Warfare 3. They are featured as a boss fight in Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops Survival Mode. They are much tougher than normal enemies. Juggernauts appeared in Modern Warfare 2 as well, but their appearance has changed slightly since then.
Juggernauts can not be killed very easily. It's best to keep your distance from them because their armor protects them very well. Juggernauts will rappel from a helicopter in Spec Ops Survival Mode. There may be one juggernaut or multiple juggernauts.
How to Defeat Juggernauts in Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops Survival Mode
It's not wise to take on Juggernauts at close range. Run away from them, but keep shooting at them at the same time, as they are persistent. Juggernauts have very powerful armor, but do not move very fast. Bullets can damage a juggernaut, but bullets will not be as effective as explosives.
Best Ways to Defeat a Juggernaut in Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops Survival Mode
- Plant Claymores in front of a juggernaut. Make sure to plant as many as possible before they rappel down the helicopter. Claymores cost $1000 for 5.
- Throw frag grenades at juggernauts, but do it from a distance so you are not open to take damage. Cook the grenade before throwing so it explodes near the juggernaut.
- Throw C4 at juggernauts to cause massive damage! Just be careful as it takes time to throw the C4 and detonate it. If possible, throw and detonate the C4 when a juggernaut is coming around a corner.
- Shoot the Juggernaut when it is stunned from a C4!
- Use a predator missile to kill a juggernaut. Buy the predator missile kill streak in Spec Ops Survival Mode.
- Make sure that you are at a far distance when using the predator missile to kill a juggernaut, otherwise, you may get shot whilst using it.

Also make sure that you or your team mate do not get downed by a juggernaut. It will be very difficult to revive your team mate when the juggernaut is shooting you. Keep your distance or keep moving behind cover to recover health. If you or your team mate dies, it's game over, unlike zombie mode in Call of Duty Black Ops where only one player needs to be alive for the game to continue into higher rounds.
Don't risk reviving your team mate if you are going to be shot down by a juggernaut. Finish off the juggernaut(s) before your team mate bleeds out. It's okay to revive your team mate as long as a juggernaut is not nearby, though. Just do not attempt to revive your team mate if a juggernaut is standing right next to him or her.
Juggernauts are very powerful enemies in Modern Warfare 3, but can be taken down. Explosives are the best way to go, but if you do not have any, just shoot the hell out of a juggernaut and keep your distance and hide behind cover!

How do you defeat juggernauts?Loading...
Try 100 Light Machine Gun rounds (Flashbang first)
If you can get open shots on their back, their armor is a little weaker on their back so if you get open shots from behind...TAKE THEM. Also if it is a Juggernaut with a riot shield and they put a teammate in last stand where they are bleeding out but still are able to use their pistol. The riot shield juggernauts will often focus on them and completely ignore the other player. If so, OPEN UP ON THEM FROM BEHIND BUT STILL KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AS THEY MAY TURN AROUND ON YOU. If worked for me and my wife...but we both put a hurt on him real quick before she got downed.
No mate ya can kill a jug with any assault guns,ball you gotta do is flashbang then run toward them and throw all your rounds into his head then ya sorted they are vulnable when flashbanged
Thanks, what I do is stun, grenade, stun, grenade and so on! Then you SHOOT THE HECK OUT OF HIM!
Me and dustin find no trouble in defeating the juggernauts in special ops survival mode we find it to be challenging at times but with the proper equipment Such as you need grenade turret the machine gun turret high powered shotguns lots of claymores in c 4 frag grenade in flash grenades and delta squad and riot control team airstrike or predator missile and good solid team work defeating any juggernaut or normal enemy they will pose no problem even for higher levels
Easiest way is when you see the helicopters coming in get C4 plant it in and around the smoke an leg it! Blow it up and use a predator for the remaining one but if you have loads set up traps with claymore and C4 easy peasy
If you've unlocked the striker just keeps firing round of that gun into it, after flashing it, works fine for me and my mate, if you dont have it I'd say flash, claymore, grenade.
The "flashbang and then 12 striker rounds up close" method tends to take out a Juggernaut quite well.
What really bothered me about MW3 was the ineffectiveness of the AS50 and the Barrett 50 in comparison to MW2, and the over-effectiveness of the Striker. 12gauge rounds are generally loaded with lead pellets/slugs, or steel pellets, and are not capable of penetrating ballistic vests such as what bomb squad personnel normally carry(Level IV) whereas a 50BMG carries 14,000 ft/lbs of energy and easily would make swiss cheese of such armour, as MW2 aptly showed.
A little more realism would have been appreciated in a "new and improved" version of an already popular classic.
I just use an air strike. Throw it into the area they land when they throw the smoke down. Garunteed kill!
Best way is explosives but if you shoot just above the throat and just below the chin there is a spot with no armor and it only takes one magazine. Kill em all, let God sort them out!!!
I just use predator missiles to defeat juggernauts. Kills them instantly every time. Riot shield squad are pretty good too.
Us strike a clip and a half should kill at close and use flashes to make it easier
look the jugernot isnt that hard to kill flash him then shoot his head over and over till death i made it to round 38 on underground and me and my brother hav a awesome stradegy and if u dont beleive me send me ur phone number and ill send a video or picture just message me here and once i get xbox live back ill play with also ill tell u our stradegy
Kill 3 jugs in a matter of seconds - If you want to kill three jugs really fast just buy an airstrike and funnel them into one spot. Actively use cover and use flashes to slow down the closer ones until they are all good and clumped up. Throw the airstrike at one of them - it will stick - then throw a flashbang to make sure they stay put and run like hell. I have used this to successfully kill 2 Gold + a Riot Jug on Wave 30+. Of course you have to be in a spot where the AC-130 can hit - alleyways will often block the airstrike.
If all else fails flash and shoot.
Pile of C-4 - If you can funnel them through to a corner that you have loaded with C-4 you can potentially take out three jugs. This is harder because they like to flank. (To automate the process put a claymore in front of it ;) )
As always these methods can be used for any number of Jugs, 5 C-4 seems to be very effective for quite a while - 10 is a waste as they are expensive and that is overkill (kill 2 jugs with 5 C-4 each or one with 10?), but to each their own right?
Oh BTW - The LMGs while nice for clip size etc, seem to take longer to kill the Jugs with then say an FAD. I usually buy an LMG with Dot and Grip and use the enemy ARs for the most part, Sleight of Hand is so necessary, especially for Solo. Then once up to wave 30 a riot shield can be invaluable - turtle?
What do you have to do to earn a kill streak bonus in spec ops? I've done it before but don't know exactly what to do to get it and I've searched all around the internet trying to find out.
I usually just buy the L86 LSW, flash them and open fire at their head! works every time
Also shooting the dogs that have C4 on them while they are near the jugs is very helpful
flash bang them and then use c4 to kill them or use a sniper rifle / LMG.
All this is rather uneccessary.If u LMG them to the head, theyll die b4 u do. Most of the time.
how many shots dose it take with the AS50?
i normaly stun with flashbang then use a striker
In 2 player 3 jug you & friend get predator get 2 and flash other & shoot them with LMG's.
i use the the heavy guns on them like the second to the bottom on light michian guns
easiest is to camp the airstrike and just keep using predators.
What is the default key to use claymores in Spec Ops Survival mode? I see in keyboard bindings that '5' is assigned for assorted/special packages. But it does not work in game.
Thanks,
Chirag.
the ultimate way to kill them is air strikes i air strike = 1 dead juggernaut
Thanks. Useful but claymores are $1000 for 10
ye,re all wrong the best thing i do is just get the predator missile and aim at the helicopter before the rope for the juggernauts can slide down and if that does not work then get the first sniper rifle available and keep going for head shots the same goes for the special ops mission in mw2 (snatch and grab)your secondary is an intervention,2 shots to the head and the juggernaut is down if this does not work the flash bang theory and the back of the jugggernaut are the best two ways combined
the best way to kill all three juggs on round 20 of spec ops resistance is to run as far away as you can when they get to you they will be all in one group flashbang them and pump as many clips into them as you can there all dead.
its easy take him down with a preadtor missle
It's impossible to take out a helicopter that's carrying a juggernaut. Don't even try it.
I use a machine pistol. Scorpian baby!!!
Nah bro, why not be a Ninja flash bang the big sucker and use your knife the Serrated Edge lmao, but went there three of them different story, but those flash bang sure is handy :)
their is one more way to kill a juggenaut get behind cover and shootat its head that is it weak spot
if there is two or more jugs get them close together get away and preadoter drone em killed aint they
for one jugg get him to a car and u get on one side and he gets on the other and just shoot his head because he can't shoot you cuzz the cars in the way :D for 3 of them i just flash them and when they ar down i knife then and run then flash and shoot in the head with a LMG :D done and done :D
Flashbang the asshole and use a striker shotgun on him. Super effective. Only downside to a striker is it takes time to reload unless yu have sleight of hand.
im rated 938 on solo survival on resistance...YAY!!...being one of the only good female players..haha...im pretty damn proud of myself...BUT, once you get past level 38 the juggarnauts get so damn fast! I have tried most these things, but at their high speed its just so hard. c4 seems to work the best i guess, was looking for the "miracle cure" for taking out a jugger.....damn
As a 10 year old boy i have done a pretty good job. What i do is get $5000 and get a riot shield squad. And when they die you get to take their riot shield and use it to pancake them. If that dose not work use predator missile .
This method is only for the top 100 players in the world. Simply use a five seven.
i would get the best light machine gun and some flash bangs and then shoot the face.
Or get two sentry turrets and come up behind him and if he turns around flash bang!
and shoot!!!
me and my sister put claymores and she throws flashbangs while i literally go up to him and keep shooting him in the head with a lightmachine gun IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!
I cant find any ways to kill the armored jugz fast... any suggestions for that?!?
so if your partner die it will be very hard to kill jruggenauts
What I do and many others do as well is when a Jug starts to approach me I throw a flash bang and shoot the s*it outta it in the head with a light machine gun. Works for me every time! :D
Striker... everything else is inefficient and costs too much money. Go right up to him, you don't even need to stun unless he has a riot shield, then pop him 10-12 times and he's done.
Or you can just fart him with your throwing knife so flashbang throwing knife and then go all crazy on him with your guns and remember this symbol equal capital D
Sorry about my fart face account I was just trying to be funny but please remember the symbol in the future you all will see
1 dsingle striker drum magazine will kill a juggernaut, or use to aa12 mags
Throw knifes aint in solo play last i checked...
I see no ways to kill armored jugs here... i know they survive my predetor missles cause after i hit em ddirectly they totally rearange my face.
my favorite way to kill them works every time. you want to get around a corner with an LMG. as soon as the jug gets around the corner just bum-rush him unloading on his face. usually dies within 5 seconds of constant fire. it's o use this technique when it is best to use this technique whenever it is only you and the Juggernaut so if your surrounded it's best to run. Good Luck!
Hey! Rafffffee.... Claymores cost $1000 for 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think before you type!
Rpg is very effective,it uses only 2 rpg to kill a juggernaut. always remember to have it with an acr , flashbang , claymores and ur luck.
I was playing sriver with my friend an he wint down with the juggernaut right by hem an all i had was a asult rifle the M16 an i had no problem tacking the juggernat
i cant get the grip or any other under gun atachments all it keeps on saying is N/A. what dose that mean? pleas help.
the grip is only for LMG's and shotguns...
hard to hit a jug with the rpg when hes shootin you... makes the riticule jump and blow your freind behind him to bits...
Shoot the juggernaut with the riot shield in the face thats what I do
when i use rpg i get shot while aiming and hit my freinds. the riot sheild glass breaks to peices when i even look in the jugz general direction.
fastest ways i have found for multiple jugz is to slap 10 packs of C4 into a confined area and lead em all there. flash them so they all in the same place and then press the little rectangular botton.
what i do is just put 5 clamores and 5 c4s in the same spot by the weapon armory but first flash lead them to 3 in that area and automatic explosion
well... cheapest way... is flashes and lmg...
most expensive is 10 C4's...
so the flashbang and lmg is good.
but if you use the c4 at least shoot a succesful hit on the juggernaught for the 100% accuracy bonus.
The best way to kill a juggernut is with aStriker Shotgun and you dont need even a flash.They are dead until the Striker first reload.
I LOVE C4's!!!!!!!!!! BOMB BOMB BOMB TING!!:D
for me if you head shot a juggernaut it wont make a diffrentes MAby!
just use a predator missile it kills them fast and easy
i use a predator missle to kill them but i do nt like using a striker because they take forever to reload.
the best way on spec ops is to get (need two players) get to sentry guns 2 riot shield squads light machine guns or you can use a predator missile i wrecking the predator missile is the most easiest thing on single player thats how i win do it on single player =) JUGGERNAUTS CAN SUCK MY B***S (balls) =)
i,ve only got one pair T-BAG THEM WEN THERE DEAD BEST THING WHEN THERE DEAD
i did not really mean t-bag them but they deserve for tring to kill me
use a predator missile in single player it is the most easiest thing.
Flashbang+rsass(acog) aim for the neck and back area
Grab a sniper and aim 4 the eyes and neck
Juggernauts are very fast in later rounds, the heavy armored ones are pretty hard to kill. On wave 49 me and my teamate had to shoot 2 mag's of a l86LSW light machine gun in his HEAD before he died, they get stronger each round they spawn. Even the regular onces will be a pain in the ass on later rounds. So watch yourself!
use LMG lsw red dot
You people are not using your brain! (No insult intended.) Think CQB, and I mean really close. If you catch on to what I am hinting at, you can kill it with just your knife. Of course, it will be easier and not take as long if you have the AA-12. (Once you figure it out, it might take you a little practice, but it's not hard to master.)
its easy
don't listen to mw3master use bloody 186LSW with asoc scope and secondary the last light machine gun i don't now it lolli pop lolli pop ohh lolli pop lolli ohh lolli pop
what do you mean we are not using our brains
Use a ak-47
2 flashbangs thrown in front of it kill em
