Combat Shell Deep Dive #4 - Juggernaut
In the chronicles of Deadlink's unending combats against ruthless corporations, our previous explorations have taken us deep into the Combat Shells – from the agile Soldier and the battle-hardened Hunter, to the ingenious Engineer. These insights have peeled back the layers of strategy and strength that define each shell.
But as the tides of corporate brutality continue to surge, a fresh gust of innovation arrives with the Full Release update – Juggernaut Combat Shell. Stepping onto the battlefield under the endorsement of the CSA and birthed by the audacious minds at CORE, Juggernaut comes throwing a whole lot of flak at your enemies while bending physics for fun and profit offense and defense.

The fourth sanctioned CSA Combat Shell, made to deal with nano-augmented opponents. The Juggernaut Combat Shell is a mix of heavy industry and open sourced components tying together the limits of strength, armor, deceptive speed, and low budget.
Some CSA funds requisitioned from corporations are spent on deepening connections with the CORE makerverse, punks, and anti-authoritarians. This relationship built on mutual corporate hatred allowed the creation of a new class of shell, the holdout sent to finish the job against corruption. Work with tinkerers and open-source nutjobs allowed the CSA to think outside of the box, integrating slipspace technology in new unique ways. Its speed is unmatched for its armor and size, allowing the use of a heavy scattergun loadout.
From a mean bruiser packing a heavy shield, the Juggernaut went on to develop into something a lot more experimental, deflecting bullets not with slabs of alloy, but with theoretical physics!
The Stray Redirector reroutes incoming blasts through slipspace, making the already armored Combat Shell outright invulnerable. Though wherever those blasts are getting rerouted just might mean someone somewhere is going to have a very bad day.
The Combat Shell remains quite punchy as well, specifically with Graviton Punch both bringing the heat and providing for some striking bursts of speed.
While Juggernaut's abilities pack a punch, the weapons have a bit of a kick to them. Rounding off the Combat Shell's arsenal is the beast of a sawed-off shotgun known as Primed Eliminator and the open-sourced GNU+Cluster launcher firing grenades that explode into a front-facing arc of deadly shrapnel.
Did you trust the collab between CSA and the makerverse? Did you become a fan of it? With all four Combat Shells unleashed, let us know if the Juggernaut made its mark!
