Judgmentis a 140 RPM Adaptive frame Stasis Hand Cannon (previously Kinetic) that has received a renewed Perk pool with thearrival of Rite of the Nine weapons, and comes with tons of powerful perk rolls, and a new Origin Trait called Gravity Well, that causes nearby special and heavy ammo bricks to be automatically drawn to the player whenever this weapon is recharged.
There are several versions of Judgment, including the Adept model, but only a few among them can be considered God Rolls. Here in this guide, players will learn everything they need to know about the best perks for PvP and PvE, as well as other important details like their ideal Masterwork, barrel, and magazine.
Masterwork
Reload Speed
Judgment has received a massive overhaul from its initial kinetic versions that came up with the Prophecy dungeon, but its God Roll has varied greatly, since the current meta for Stasis usesRimestealerandHeadstoneas a powerful combo that increases the defense of the Guardian thanks to its massive generation ofFrost Armor. This synergy turns Judgment into one of the bestStasis Hand Cannonsto have in Destiny 2(besides Vulpecula and Exuviae). It lacks a little bit of control and range, so having theTruesight HCS, which increases range, stability, and handling speed, is a must-have. Players should aim to get one with Reload Speed, and since there’s a chance to get dual-perks in both columns with a Holofoil Adept version of the weapon, they should try and get one with Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie, another powerful PvE combo for Judgment.
When Rimestealer is active as a perk, killing frozen enemies or Shattering a Stasis Crystal with the weapon grants a Stack of Frost Armor, which increases damage reduction by 4.5 % per stack. Frost Armor stacks at 5 charges, but equipping theWhisper of Rimesubclass mod, will increase that quantity to 10, for a total 45% damage reduction.
Range (or Stability)
Judgment has become A-Tier+ with its renewed perk pool, and since the combination of Keep Away and Precision Instrument is broken, players should know that this is one of the best perk rolls for PvP a hand-cannon can get. With Range as Masterwork, Accurized Rounds to maximize damage falloff, and the Hitmark HCS sight that increases range and precision even more, this weapon becomes a force to be reckoned with. Since it is anAdaptive frame 140 RPM hand-cannon, those with the ability to use it will become unstoppable in PvP. The combination of Keep Away/Lone Wolf with Timed Payload also provides interesting results. Those who aim at the countermass instead of the head can rest assured that it will take down any enemy guardian in a couple of well-placed shots.
How To Get Judgment In Destiny 2
Judgment is part of theProphecy Dungeonreward pool, and to get it, players need to farm the encounters while the Dungeon is Highlighted in the Rotations (as part of Rite of the Nine) or at any given time. Players can alsoexchange Nonary Manifoldsfor a chance to get this weapon as a reward, as long as they areAttuned to it.
It is also important to remember that this weapon has 5 versions, counting the classic Kinetic Judgment from Prophecy (Season of Arrivals) and thefour versionsof Episode Heresy: Judgment, Judgment (Adept), and the two ‘Holofoil’ versions, which most likelydrop with Curated or God Rolls. Players should also keep in mind that those Holofoil weapons come with their ownspecial design(Shader) anddual perks: that is, one additional perk per column.
