How to Get Judgment in Destiny 2 and Its God Roll

Judgment is a highly sought-after Kinetic (Stasis) Hand Cannon in Destiny 2, especially after its refresh with the Rite of the Nine event.1 This guide will cover how to obtain Judgment, its drop locations, and the "god rolls" to aim for in both PvE and PvP.

Destiny 2 and Its God Roll: Get Judgment

Judgment is a Prophecy dungeon-exclusive weapon that has been reprised with new perks as part of the Rite of the Nine event.

• Prophecy Dungeon Drops: When the Prophecy dungeon is the featured dungeon during the Rite of the Nine event, you can acquire Judgment as a random drop from any of its encounters.
  • Kell Echo Chest: Judgment is a guaranteed drop from the Emissary chest after defeating the final boss, Kell Echo, in the Prophecy dungeon.
  • Phalanx Echo: While the text mentions it can drop from the initial Phalanx Echo encounter, primary sources indicate it's more consistently found from Kell Echo. Farming the Kell Echo checkpoint is a common method for players seeking specific Prophecy loot.
• Rite of the Nine Event Hub:
  • Eternity Chest: You can also get Judgment from the chest located next to The Emissary in the Rite of the Nine social space (Eternity). This chest costs 250 Nonary Manifolds (the event currency) to open.
  • Weapon Attunement: To significantly increase your chances of getting Judgment specifically, make sure to attune to it at the Rite of the Nine social space. This boosts its drop rate from both dungeon completions and the event hub chest.
• Adept Judgment: To acquire the Adept version of Judgment, you'll need to complete the Ultimatum difficulty of the Prophecy dungeon when it's the featured Adept weapon during the Rite of the Nine event.

Current Event Status (July 9, 2025): The Rite of the Nine event is currently in its "Lootapalooza" week (July 8 - July 15, 2025). During this period, all three dungeons (including Prophecy) are available, and all rewards bonuses are enabled. This is the ideal time to farm for Judgment.

Judgment God Roll in Destiny 2

Judgment is a 140 RPM Adaptive Frame Kinetic Hand Cannon that can roll with a diverse set of perks. It also comes with two possible Origin Traits: Crossing Over (increased range and handling in the top half of the magazine, increased damage in the bottom half) and Gravity Well (weapon gains bonus energy when taking damage, and fully reloads on ability activation).7
Perk Pool Highlights:

• Perk 1: Demolitionist, Keep Away, Lone Wolf, Headstone, Rapid Hit, Slideshot.
• Perk 2: Adrenaline Junkie, Paracausal Affinity, Rimestealer, Opening Shot, Timed Payload, Precision Instrument.

Judgment PvE God Roll in Destiny 2

For PvE, Judgment benefits greatly from perks that enhance ability synergy, Stasis effects, and sustained damage.

• Sight: Fastdraw HCS (Greatly increases handling and slightly boosts stability and aim assistance, making the weapon feel very responsive.)
• Magazine: Flared Magwell (Boosts reload speed and stability, essential for keeping the damage flowing.)
• Masterwork: Reload Speed (Compensates for the Hand Cannon's potentially slow reload, especially beneficial for the Gravity Well origin trait.)

Key Perks:

• Perk 1: Headstone or Demolitionist
  • Headstone: (Precision final blows spawn a Stasis crystal at the victim's location.) This perk is fantastic for Stasis builds, providing crowd control, Stasis shard generation (with appropriate fragments), and synergy with other Stasis abilities.
  • Demolitionist: (Kills with this weapon generate grenade energy. Activating your grenade ability reloads this weapon from reserves.) An excellent perk for ability-focused builds, ensuring high grenade uptime and keeping your weapon reloaded.
• Perk 2: Rimestealer or Timed Payload
  • Rimestealer: (Activating your Stasis subclass abilities creates a Stasis crystal.) This synergizes incredibly well with Headstone, allowing you to generate even more Stasis crystals and enabling powerful Stasis-centric builds.
  • Timed Payload: (Projectiles create a delayed explosion after impact.) This provides a consistent 11% to 17% damage bonus and increased flinch, making it effective for staggering tougher enemies.

The combination of Headstone + Rimestealer creates a powerful Stasis-synergistic "god roll," constantly spawning Stasis crystals for control and buildcrafting. If you prefer a more general-purpose roll focused on ability regeneration and consistent damage, Demolitionist + Timed Payload is a strong alternative.

Judgment PvP God Roll in Destiny 2

In PvP, Hand Cannons thrive on consistency, range, and dueling capabilities. Judgment aims to maximize these stats.

• Sight: Hitmark HCS (Provides a good balance of range and stability, improving the weapon's overall feel in engagements.)
• Magazine: Accurized Rounds (Significantly boosts range, extending your effective engagement distance and helping with damage falloff.)1
• Masterwork: Range or Stability (Choose based on personal preference: Range further pushes out yourengagement distance, while Stability makes the gun more consistent tocontrol.)

Key Perks:

• Perk 1: Lone Wolf or Keep Away or Slideshot
  • Lone Wolf: (Provides stat bonuses to handling, reload speed, and stability when no allies are nearby.) Excellent for solo players or those who often findthemselves in isolated gunfights.
  • Keep Away: (Grants a small bonus to reload speed, range, and accuracy when no enemies are within 15 meters.) Great for maintaining optimal range and consistency against aggressive opponents.
  • Slideshot: (Sliding partially reloads the magazine and temporarily boosts range and stability.) A fantastic perk for aggressive, movement-focused players, offering quick reloads and improved dueling stats.
• Perk 2: Precision Instrument or Opening Shot
  • Precision Instrument: (Damaging a target with this weapon increases its precision hit damage for a short time.) This perk rewards consistent aim and can help reduce the time-to-kill (TTK) if you land multiple precision shots.
  • Opening Shot: (Greatly improves accuracy and range on the opening shot of an attack.) This is a top-tier dueling perk, making your crucial first shotincredibly accurate and sticky.

The PvP "god roll" for Judgment prioritizes maxing out Range and Stability, combined with perks that either provide passive consistency (Lone Wolf, Keep Away) or active engagement benefits (Slideshot, Opening Shot, Precision Instrument). The optimal choice often comes down to your personal playstyle and how you typically engage in gunfights.
