shotgun will do the trick, though it takes quite a bit of ammo to finish the job. That or a rifle are how I usually go about it. Bashing-type melee weapon will work too, if your melee skills are high enough to survive the combat, though given the trap I suspect not.
As to why it lived, I suspect it is considering explosive shrapnel to be cutting damage, and the juggernaut has pretty huge resistance to it. And if it’s considering each shrapnel piece to be its own small attack, rather than one massive big one, then it wouldn’t penetrate armour.
Please consider crafting a high power cannon for your vehicle. A slingshot cannon will do for a relatively low-tech solution. A scorpion ballista will also work.
(not sure if those are from the mods, but you get the point. a vehicle-mounted weapon will do the job nicely)
Ah, yes. I’ve checked the cdda trunk and these guns are actually from the blazemod. But as for the blazemod itself, I defenitely recommend installing it!
Actually, a bear trap can, if you add a spraycan flamethrower to set the bear trap’s tile on fire. It’ll hold him long enough to do massive damage. You may have to lure him back in for a second go, though.
You can still craft a heavy rail rifle. It is basically a weaker Barrett with high energy costs, but with ammo that is easily reproducible. And despite the sound packs, it is very quiet. Reloading makes a moderate amount of sound, though.
this gives me flashback to a time where im exploring near a science lab and found a nuclear canister, i take it and put it near swarm of zombies that has 4 skeletal juggernaut and activate it,
mistake is, i put the timer too short (around 10 turns before exploding) and i just straight run away and boom…
well it did kill all the zombies and skeletal juggernaut (dealing around 15k damage to a skeletal) but i also got hit by the bomb for 35k damage… what a mistake.
