Juggernog

Overview

In the First Room

A First Room game is almost always played without Juggernog. The map books of the Hub place a Juggernog machine inside a First Room on Verrückt, where it can never be bought, and on Paradox Junction, where the past era puts a random machine behind the School Bus; the two books of Moon describe a way to reach one in Area 51 before the first round.

On Nuketown, the machines fall from the sky onto spots drawn at random, four of the ten in the street: in solo only Quick Revive lands there, in co-op any of the five machines can, and the book explains how the board treats a Juggernog in the street. Every other book that names the machine puts it behind a door. On Die Maschine, for instance, it runs on a generator and needs no power, but it stands at the Crash Site, past the doors. Every First Room board, map by map, is on the leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

	Game	Cost	Effect
	World at War	2,500 points	On Verrückt and Shi No Numa only, it raises the maximum health and makes the player heal 40 health every half second, instead of setting the health to 250. During the Hellhound rounds of Shi No Numa the healing drops to 3 health every half second.
	Black Ops	2,500 points	Health goes from 100 to 250: a zombie needs five hits, a Hellhound six.
	Black Ops II	2,500 points	Unchanged. On TranZit, Die Rise and Buried, a Persistent Upgrade with the same effect stacks with the perk, for up to six hits from zombies.
	Black Ops III	2,500 points	Unchanged. It also comes from Der Wunderfizz on most maps that have one, and from some GobbleGums.
	Black Ops Cold War	2,500 to 7,000 points	The base perk still raises the health bar. The machine is redesigned, bulkier with a black top, and each perk gains five upgrade tiers.
	Black Ops 6	2,500 to 7,500 Essence	Same base perk as in Cold War. The tiers give way to Augments: one Major and one Minor at a time.
	Black Ops 7	2,500 to 9,000 Essence	Eight Augments instead of six, and a second Minor slot once all of them are unlocked.

Black Ops 4 has no Juggernog: the health of a player depends on the difficulty chosen.

Upgrades

Black Ops Cold War, five tiers

Bought with Aetherium Crystals. I: status effects last 50% less. II: Armor Plates replenish 25% more armor. III: maximum health raised by 100. IV: armor durability raised by 25%. V: a lethal hit empties the armor and leaves 1 health instead of a down.

Black Ops 6, Major Augments

Probiotic, slightly more maximum health; Turtle Shell, the armor absorbs all damage to the back and none from the front; Reactive Armor, a broken plate stuns the normal enemies nearby.

Black Ops 6, Minor Augments

Retaliation, bonus damage while health is low; Hardened Plates, more damage mitigation; Durable Plates, slightly more armor durability.

Black Ops 7

The same six, plus the Major Augment Iron Core, more health once every Armor Plate is broken, and the Minor Augment Shake It Off, which now and then cuts incoming damage sharply. Retaliation now triggers after receiving damage.
