JUDGE SHOTGUN

[Artist.Jk]

I recently purchased the Jude pistol shotgun, and according to my friends it’s good so I decided to try it out, and for some reason Picking up ammo from dead cops doesn’t refill the gun. Anybody know why?

Because it has a very low ammo pickup. Depending on your skills it could take as much as 6 ammo boxes to refill 1 round.

Ammo pickup - 0.18-0.53

Are you using HE Rounds or AP Slugs? Because you'll need to pick more than one ammo box for those

The ammo pickup with the judge is awful on purpose

[Wiifanbro]

People, if you're going to get AP or HE rounds for shotguns please get basic scavenger.

I thought different ammo types no longer affect pick-up. Doesn't it just have bad all around pick-up?

It does have bad all-around pickup. I think that they did indeed remove pickup being affected by ammotypes, they certainly removed it for most of the ammotypes.

The Judge can get ammo from cop pickups, but its ammo pickup is quite low so it more often than not doesn't get the pickups. Some stuff like Fully Loaded can help with that, but the best overall solution is to simply use the Judge sparingly. When you start to run low on its ammo, switch back to your primary, and use it only when you need to do some large burst damage.

Also, if you haven't gotten Walk-In-Closet in your perk deck yet, that's the 6th perk in every perk deck, I'd advise staying away from low-pickup guns like the Judge entirely. Walk-In-Closet boosts your ammo pickup rates and you need it if you want weapons like the Judge to really be able to get ammo.

Do you mean:
it doesn't pickup any ammo at all
or
you just don't get bullets from every ammo drop?

They recently cut the Judge's ammo pickup down to levels that'd make the Breaker 12G panic. At the current moment, the GSPS has the upper hand in the secondary shotgun slot, as its pickup is comparably high.

Overkill's idea of 'good balance'

[Felony Ferret]

Thhe Judge is best used to deal with shields or if you don';t have time to reload your primary.

It was my goto secondary in the days of Dodge with HE rounds specifically for shields.
