Once obtained from a dropped Care Package, players will receive a Juggernaut-like armor and a Knife (SC-2010 by mistake as of the March 4th update [2]) along with a Throwing Knife. The Maniac has unlimited sprint and runs faster than normal Juggernauts, as well as other players (Marathon and likely a buffed version of Agility).
