For other uses, see Juggernaut.

Maniac (referred to as Juggernaut Maniac by the announcers) is a 10 Pointstreak (nine with Hardline) that appears in Call of Duty: Ghosts. Once obtained from a dropped Care Package, players will receive a Juggernaut-like armor and a Combat Knife along with a Throwing Knife. The Maniac has unlimited sprint and runs faster than normal Juggernauts, as well as other players. Along with the Juggernaut, the Maniac does not regenerate health. Maniacs cannot be targeted by air support and Sentry Guns, meaning the player has also received Blind Eye. Wearing the Juggernaut Maniac suit will also highlight deployed explosives within the player's vision, equipping the player with SitRep.

Unlike a normal Juggernaut, Juggernaut Maniacs do not show up as a red diamond on the minimap. This balances it as the player using the Maniac is resorted to only close quarters combat.
