The Juggernaut's purpose is to kill as many players as possible in order to amass points. The other players' goal is to kill the current Juggernaut, in order for them to become the next Juggernaut. To counteract the [[Spartans]] and [[Elites]] out to kill him, the Juggernaut is sometimes aided with overshields, [[Active camouflage]], increased speed, increased damage, increased damage resistance and infinite ammo (not bottomless clip).
