Adjudicator needs some love

[yourcomrade]

From my humble point of view, the gun is generally outclassed by Liberator Penetrator. To have higher DPS, Adjudicator suffers from worse ergonomics, more recoil and way smaller mag capacity. More ironically , the gun has a slightly smaller durable-damage proportion (23/95 vs 15/60) than its Liberator counterpart, although it shoots way larger rounds. And even more, iron sights cannot be mounted on this gun due to its weird shape and short Pic rail.

Though I do like some parts of Adjudicator, like its relatively smaller horizontal spread and resemblance to FN FAL, I think the gun needs some rework.

What I wish to see is a slight increase to the gun's ergonomics and an extended-magazine option (45 rounds would be reasonable I think). Even better, make the gun's rounds capable of penetrating 1 or 2 lightly armored enemies, like what AR-20L Justice did in Helldiver 1. This would make Adjudicator a wilder Liberator that hits harder and kicks its user harder, which might help it see some adoption.

also since nowadays the eruptor is just better than the explosive

Also, Adjudicator's DPS advantage is not that significant to Liberator Penetrator, given you are likely to miss more shots due to the its worse recoil and ergonomics.

I dunno, against the squids I liked the adjudicator a lot more because it was killing overseers very quickly, while penetrator was taking more time to kill them.
With attachments its accursy is quite good and recoil is nearly non existant, the only thing it needs is bigger mag.

Nah the xbow is way better than the eruptor for bots, it does overkill damage to things the xbow will one shot anyways, shoots faster, reloads faster.

Give it a 60 round mag!!!!

Personally I found the adjudicator more effective than the penetrator. The real problem is the reprimand does more damage per shot and its an smg.

It just needs some magazine options

A lot of people don't realize that Reprimand now has a lot of drag and the damage drop off over long distances is significant. Adjudicator is way more reliable than Reprimand when it comes to shooting at targets that are far away.

With the weapon customization, Adjudicator is better than Liberator Penetrator in my opinion. The recoil problem is basically solved, especially when you crouch fire. The only downside is the barely passable ergonomics, which is still okay for the Bots and Illuminates front, but struggles a bit against bugs.

The real weapon that needs buffs a lot more is the Dominator.

My counter to this would be that the DCS or deadeye are better choices if you want longer range shooting.

I feel like the adjudicator sits in a space where it's trying to be a DMR and failing. It doesn't have the damage of the marksman rifles (and suffers from a really bad breakpoint, being unable to kill devastators in one shot for example), and doesn't have as much ammunition as other assault rifles.

I'm not a fan of it in general though so I may be biased, as I've barely used it.

Isn't the entire point of the Adjudicator it's limited magazine? It's supposed to be a "battle rifle", a middle-ground between normal assault rifles & the DMR's. If anything they should bring back the smaller magazine and give it some real damage.

Before the weapon customization update it was outclassing the Lib Pen, so I guess it is allrignt for now, could use more mag customization tho I guess.

It just needs magazine options, atleast an extended mag it feels like ♥♥♥♥ to use because of how fast it runs out

[Cryptic]

it rocks with vertigrip and compensator
