Notice: These ideas are not my creation, I am just posting to help everyone.
First things first, you have to have downloaded AND enabled the content pack to obtain the achievements. To enable, got under options and there will be an option to enable content packs at the bottom, go in select the packs and you're good to go.
Keep trying until you get on the map "Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers".
You can see the map name and layout by pressing left on your D-Pad. You will notice a hallway with a circular room in the middle of it, accessible from the 2nd floor. Go into this hallway and hide out in the corners. Watch out for enemies spotting you and shooting projectiles, expecially grenades at you. If this happens just switch corners so that they can't fire on you and make sure to keep watch for new threats. All you have to do is sit and wait for the juggernaut to spawn and for the other enemies to kill it. When they do, there will be a bright flash and loud explosion and your achievement pops without the frustration that following the other two solutions entail... Believe me, I tried several times before I finally came across this on some old forums. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post/message. Also, if you feel the need to vote negatively, please have the decency to let me know why, so that I can update the guide.

Awesome solution, did this today and was by far the easiest way to get a Juggernaut kill.

just spent an hour doing this. Several juggernauts were killed but no achievement. If you know why, or if you even respond to this, I will switch to thumbs up.

This only can be done in Survival as said. But here is a simple trick that makes this achievement allot ALLOT eaiser.
get restarting Survival till you get to a map with a hallway with a circle in the center on a second floor (there are only 3 Survival Maps so you can tell from a Sewer one to a Circuit one. those I just listed are neither maps you need) get the Dual Shotguns and all the ammo you can get then go up stairs and into that Circle room. now stand there and wait. No enemies will wander there, Some will if they're upstairs so shoot them, but stay up there. wait till you start hearing some like explosions or robotic noises. look out and shoot the living hell. IT HAS TO BE DEAD before you can die. Which means if you hear a alarm type beeping, its dead. but has to explode to earn achievement WHICH MEANS you can die while its going to hit the ground and explode. Ive earned it that way. I died right when I killed it, thinking I lost then BLINK there it is.
Good luck though, trying to explain the map isn't easy, and I don't have access to take a pic of the map either. Good Luck, its faster then Surviving

That´s the hardest DLC-achievement.
To make the Juggernaut appear, you have either to survive 18 minutes or kill the enemies fast and pick up every health-pack that will spawn. After the fourth purple health-pack, the Juggernaut will apper. Double-Shotgun him in the back up to nine times and he will be gone.
BUT pay attention: He will fall to the ground and start a self-destruct sequence! Escape within a few seconds.
That´s the part of the achievement description that meant "...live to tell the tale". After his explosion, you can die or go on til the next Juggernaut appears. (SICK! XD)

Kill a Juggernaut while in Survival mode. To get to Survival mode go to Single Player and select Survival. Juggernauts should begin to spawn about 18 minutes into the game and once it does you need to kill it. Once it is dead it will start a self destruct sequence, so you need to stay away from it. The juggernaut is like an upgraded drone (those flying robots that shoot green lasers). It flies and shoots fire balls and heat-seeking missiles. Click Here for a screenshot of the juggernaut.
Survival Mode Tips (Thanks msane):
- Run around the level before any enemies spawn gathering weapons and ammo. That way you won't have an auto-pickup screw you up later.
- Circle-strafe a lot and don't stand still much. The times I died were because I got stuck on something and then got killed.
- There are 4 health spawns, and I think the Juggernaut shows up after the third health spawn.
- Try to get enemies to fight each other and group up. Then hit them with the rocket launcher.
- Some levels are easier to navigate than others. Find one that works for you and restart until you get the one you want
- An easy way to kill the juggernaut is to shoot dual shotguns into his back (thanks Kaji)

If you'd rather not do any work whatsoever, simply follow this strategy laid out by Disc07:
Go to the level with the stairs on one side, lifts on the other, and the little room with the Fusion Pistol hovering above the center of the level. If you take a gander at the map using the D-Pad it should be called: "Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers"
Go and camp up in the center room where the Fusion Pistol is. Circle around the room and camp in the corners watching the doors for enemies that can shoot projectiles at you. The stronger of the F'lickta can shoot fireballs at you, the S'pht's Alien guns can cause some damage, but the thing you should watch out for most are grenades thrown by the Drinniol, they can take down a half - full health bar at a time.

You can now just camp up in this room until everyone below has killed off the Juggernaut. You'll know the Juggernaut is dead when your screen goes white and you feel a massive explosion. The achievement will unlock even if you havn't fired a shot. Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: You must go to Help & Options --> Settings --> Content Packs and select Jjaro Netmap Pack in order to be able unlock this achievement.
