Here’s how to get the Judgment hand cannon in Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine, along with our recommended PvE and PvP god rolls.
The Rite of the Nine event is live, bringing updated loot to three dungeons: Prophecy, Ghosts of the Deep, and Spire of the Watcher. Among the returning weapons is Judgment, and it’s definitely worth farming.
Judgment is a 140 RPM Stasis hand cannon from the Prophecy dungeon, and it comes with new perks that make it deadly in Crucible and useful in PvE builds too.
| Weapon | Type | Element | Ammo | Archetype | RPM | Source | Craftable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Judgment | Hand Cannon |  Stasis |  Primary | Adaptive | 140 | Rite of the Nine | No |
How to Get Judgment in Destiny 2
You can get Judgment by completing the Prophecy dungeon during the Rite of the Nine event. Dungeon loot in this event can be attuned, similar to how Onslaught loot worked in the Into The Light release last year. Head over to the Emissary in the Trials of the Nine social space to attune your drops.
Each weapon also has a small quest that gives you one guaranteed drop after you clear the dungeon for the first time.
Recommended loadout tips for Prophecy:
- Lord of Wolves is great for the first boss
- The Queenbreaker works well for the final boss fight
Also, all Rite of the Nine weapons come with a new origin trait called Gravity Well, which automatically picks up nearby ammo when you reload.
Destiny 2 Judgment PvP God Roll
Judgment is a solid pick as a PvP primary weapon. The base stats were bumped up for the Rite of the Nine release, bringing it in line with other 140s. Slideshot is always a best-in-slot perk choice for PvP hand cannons, giving you a nice stat bump while keeping the gun reloaded.
Here is our recommended roll for the weapon:
| Column | Perks |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Truesight HCS (+3 Range, +3 Stability, +3 Handling) |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds (+10 Range) |
| Trait (3rd Column) | Slideshot: Sliding partially reloads this weapon’s magazine and temporarily boosts range and stability. |
| Trait (4th Column) | Opening Shot: Improved accuracy and range on the opening shot of attack. |
| Origin Trait | Crossing Over: This weapon has increased range and handling for the top half of the magazine, while rounds from the bottom half of the magazine deal increased damage. |
| Masterwork | Range (+10 Range) |
| Weapon Mod | Ballistics (+6 Range, +6 Stability) |
Destiny 2 Judgment PvE God Roll
In PvE, Judgment can be a great secondary for grenade-focused builds. Demolitionist helps your cooldown tremendously, while Adrenaline Junkie makes clearing enemies faster after scoring kills with your grenade.
Here is our recommended roll for the weapon:
| Column | Perks |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Truesight HCS (+3 Range, +3 Stability, +3 Handling) |
| Magazine | Appended Mag: Increases magazine size. |
| Trait (3rd Column) | Demolitionist: Final blows with this weapon generate an improved amount of grenade energy. Activating your grenade ability reloads this weapon from reserves. |
| Trait (4th Column) | Adrenaline Junkie: This weapon gains increased damage and handling from final blows with grenades or this weapon for an improved duration. |
| Origin Trait | Gravity Well: Reloading this weapon automatically gathers nearby ammo. |
| Masterwork | Handling (+10 Handling) |
| Weapon Mod | Backup Mag: Increases magazine |
