Use Case
The Judge is built for close-range fights in WARDOGS where its high-damage .45 Colt rounds can make a big impact. Its 50m effective range means you'll get the most out of it when fighting at short distances rather than trying to use it as a long-range sidearm.
Its compact 2 × 2 inventory footprint also makes it easy to carry as a backup weapon alongside your primary.
Tips
- Keep engagements close to make the most of the Judge's high base damage.
- Use the weapon as a backup when your primary weapon needs to be reloaded.
- Avoid taking extended-range fights where the Judge's limited effective range becomes a disadvantage.
- Use the 25m zeroing range when setting up for typical close-range engagements.
- Consider Armor Piercing ammunition when you need better penetration against armored targets.
