In the chronicles of Deadlink's unending combats against ruthless corporations, our previous explorations have taken us deep into the Combat Shells – from the agile [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1676130/view/3651904437094599342]Soldier[/url] and the battle-hardened [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1676130/view/3665415870861450102]Hunter[/url], to the ingenious [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1676130/view/3665415870887771278]Engineer[/url]. These insights have peeled back the layers of strategy and strength that define each shell.
But as the tides of corporate brutality continue to surge, a fresh gust of innovation arrives with the Full Release update – Juggernaut Combat Shell. Stepping onto the battlefield under the endorsement of the CSA and birthed by the audacious minds at CORE, Juggernaut comes throwing a whole lot of flak at your enemies while bending physics for [strike]fun and profit[/strike] offense and defense.

The [b]fourth[/b] sanctioned CSA Combat Shell, made to [b]deal with nano-augmented opponents[/b]. The Juggernaut Combat Shell is a mix of heavy industry and [b]open sourced[/b] components tying together the limits of strength, armor, deceptive speed, and low budget.
Some CSA funds requisitioned from corporations are spent on [b]deepening connections[/b] with the CORE [b]makerverse[/b], punks, and anti-authoritarians. This relationship built on mutual corporate hatred allowed the creation of a new class of shell, the holdout sent to finish the job against corruption. Work with tinkerers and open-source nutjobs allowed the CSA to think outside of the box, integrating [b]slipspace technology[/b] in new unique ways. Its speed is unmatched for its armor and size, allowing the use of a [b]heavy scattergun loadout[/b].
[/code]
From a mean bruiser packing a heavy shield, the Juggernaut went on to develop into something a lot more experimental, deflecting bullets not with slabs of alloy, but with theoretical physics!
The [b]Stray Redirector[/b] reroutes incoming blasts through slipspace, making the already armored Combat Shell outright invulnerable. Though wherever those blasts are getting rerouted just might mean someone somewhere is going to have a very bad day.
The Combat Shell remains quite punchy as well, specifically with [b]Graviton Punch[/b] both bringing the heat and providing for some striking bursts of speed.
While Juggernaut's abilities pack a punch, the weapons have a bit of a kick to them. Rounding off the Combat Shell's arsenal is the beast of a sawed-off shotgun known as [b]Primed Eliminator[/b] and the open-sourced GNU+Cluster launcher firing grenades that explode into a front-facing arc of deadly shrapnel.
Did you trust the collab between CSA and the makerverse? Did you become a fan of it? With all four Combat Shells unleashed, let us know if the Juggernaut made its mark!
