The player who picks the weapon turns into the Juggernaut — a special class with tons of health, The Juggernaut will score points for every moment they are alive and yet more points for every player elimination. The other players must try to kill the Juggernaut, and they will score points proportional to the amount of damage dealt to them. The Juggernaut may seem OP, but all players know their location, This should add an interesting dynamic to Juggernaut games that you won’t see anywhere else.
