easiest way to kill jugs
im looking for the absolutely cheesiest way to kill a jug if one catches you out in the open other than reversing into it 20 times with your car i normally just run from jugs as i hate waisting ammo on them but is there a mine or a bomb or grenade that will work 100 percent of the time so i can remove these stupidly overpowered enemies as quickly and easily as possible

The Independence Day stuff are radio calls. You pay some Influence and get some weapons, fireworks and explosives. Then the "supply" radio call gives you a facility mod that lets you produce all of the ammo for the special weapons and all the fireworks.

As I said in the first post of your thread, Bouncing Boris is a fireworks-explosive which either heavily damages or kills a Juggernaut.

Edit: but maybe all of that won't unlock until you have beaten the game (finishing a Legacy) once? Seem to remember something like that.

I have seen people using Bouncing Boris (Independence Day) with great success against Juggernauts, but I haven't done so myself more than once or twice long ago.

jugernauts only can get me when i are going to kill a plague heart or at headquarters, if that is the case my own way is use BML 40 grenade launcher (automatic 40mm grenade launcher) around 4 to 5 grenades kill one jugernaut (in lethal)

other (loud) way to kill them fast its cal .50 rifles, my favorite its BFG50 because is full auto and have 5 rounds magazine, so one magazine is enough to finish a jugernaut, but also the timberwolf will do anytime and is a little less loud...

use red talon grenades, some of those grenades are called "jugernaut killers" for good reasons, however as i no use that system i cannot say what of them do the job well

again red talon, equip in the command center the red talon mod to launch aircraft attack on your place, you find a jugernaut (or ferals) you use the radio command item and the aircraft barrage kills pretty well everything around (note... i dont use this one most of the time because is too easy so i avoid, but if i have problems or someone have problems...)

speaking about lethal... use always main weapon with 150 rounds on magazine, enough for take out a jugernaut or a feral... advice = NEVER enter a fight with jugernaut and/or ferals and also regular zeds and more freaks, just dont do that as jugernauts combined with regular zeds its around more than 50 percent of being killed.

just get in your car, make it follow you and kite away

Scentblock + A Heavy Weapon (the more full the Impact bar the better)

If your survivor is a Powerhouse, don't forget that you can hold the attack button down for a charged power attack.

A Bottle of Stimulants to keep your stamina full helps too.

With any vehicle if you find an open area or a road you can continuously smash into the juggernaut with the rear end of your vehicle and the vehicle takes little to no damage, just reverse far enough away until you get a good speed to smash into them and rinse and repeat. Takes around 5 smashes he will get knocked a couple times then you reverse through him for the kill.

It can be tedious but it is by far the most cost efficient way of dealing with them without taking any damage or wasting valuable grenades and - or ammo.

When caught off guard I just run into the nearest building and exit from the back door, if you're near an outpost go grab a .50 cal, preferably the timberwolf since its silenced, 4 bullets to the head and it will kneel, you can then run to it and execute it.

This is on standard though, higher difficulty most likely requires more shots.

You can also bring it to a nearby enclave and gang up on it but you will not get the influence for killing it.

Just run. They aren't worth the ammo. There's almost no situation -- aside from scripted missions where you'll be able to prepare in advance -- where it makes sense to fight a juggernaut.

Playing on lethal today I got an early spawn of a wandering materials trader. Just so happened he spawned in a spot where a juggernaut previously was. End result = dead materials trader. It sucked but... oh well.

Follower with B50FG.

Can get you or your follower killed if not done right.

ram them by a car but only by back side of a car. Cars take damage only if you ram smth by engine side.

but also take care if you re in lethal... a cal .50 rifle can mean one "auto spawn at your back" and that spawn at your back can be a feral pack,

good luck out there with best regards :)
