The Akimbo Judge shotguns are a primary weapon available in PAYDAY 2 that was added in Update #178.

Overview[]

The Judge shotguns can be dual-wielded in the primary weapon slot for their greatly increased damage output at the cost of precise aiming, stability and the opportunity cost of being unable to use other primaries.

All akimbo weapon modifications cost 40% extra than their normal price.

Summary[]

Pros:

  • Tied for the highest damage of all shotguns
  • High concealment
  • Second highest base total ammo of all 155 damage shotguns, behind the Claire 12G
  • High rate of fire
  • Fastest weapon/draw holster of all shotguns
  • Unlike its standalone version, the akimbo mechanics force two shells to be picked up instead of one, which makes it more ammo efficient and makes poor ammo pickup less of a problem if one is diligent with picking up ammo drops

Cons:

  • High recoil
  • Lowest ammo pickup of all shotguns
    • Partially circumvented by akimbo mechanics
  • Low magazine capacity, and the lack of any magazine size-increasing mods most other shotguns have
  • Slow reload
  • Very Expensive
  • One trigger pull fires both guns, potentially leading to ammo wastage

Tips[]

  • As with all akimbo weapons, a laser sight is recommended.
  • The Akimbo Judge shotguns are a viable option for Armor and Dodge builds alike as they have high damage, high concealment and work with the Akimbo skills from the skill tree and perk decks.
  • Despite their low ammo pickup, the mechanics of akimbo weapons force 2 shells to be retrieved instead of 1 when the player successfully picks up a shell, increasing ammo efficiency. Having Fully Loaded aced or having the Walk-In Closet perk may help with potential ammo problems.

Trivia

HE Round

  • Equipping a shotgun with HE Rounds creates a makeshift grenade launcher, with a significantly smaller and weaker explosive effect that can be used to quickly destroy basic wooden doors, blasting them into fragments with a single hit.
  • Gameplay-wise, it is rather pointless to use HE Rounds in conjunction with a silencer, since the shot is silent while the resulting explosion is not, and thus will still cause it to be heard. However, it can be used in conjunction with the The Professional aced skill in order to remedy the hefty accuracy penalty that HE rounds applies when used. It can be also used for comedic effect.

Trivia

Flechette

  • In reality, flechettes do not always increase a shotgun's effective range. They do, however, marginally improves pellet grouping due to the flechettes' aerodynamic shapes while also offering a limited degree of armor penetration, and markedly increased accuracy down range in the case of tungsten carbide flechettes. The armor piercing effect is only noteworthy on personal body armors, though, as specialized plates and reinforced steel shields are usually dense enough to stop the projectiles dead in their tracks.

Trivia

AP Slug

  • Using AP slugs turns a given shotgun into a quasi-sniper rifle, as the shots no longer spread and are instead focused into a single target.
  • Printed onto the casing of every AP Slug is the line "G4G3", which is leetspeak for "Gage".

Trivia

Dragon's Breath Round

  • The usage of Dragon's Breath shells with semi/fully-automatic shotguns in the game is highly unrealistic, as the real-life equivalent of these shells are specialized low-pressure shotshells, thus will not produce enough gas pressure to operate a full cycle. These shells are realistically used with manual-action (pump, break, lever, etc.) shotguns only.
    • The behavior of the Dragon's Breath shells in-game was most likely based on the misconceptions surrounding the ammo type that are commonly featured in videogames. Unlike standard buckshots, Dragon's Breath shells do not fire any "real" projectile out of a shotgun's barrel, they turn the shotgun in question into a mini-flamethrower instead. The chemical packets are ruptured and ignited when the weapon is fired, and produces a moderate fireball that exits from the barrel instead of flammable pellets like portrayed in-game.
    • Due to their tendency to foul the breech and barrel of the shotgun with chemical residue, Dragon's Breath shells are impractical to utilize as they can impair the weapon in question's performance after prolonged use.

Trivia

The Silent Killer Suppressor

  • This suppressor's shape and appearance, along with its related achievement, is a nod to the suppressed shotgun carried by Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men.
  • It is unclear in what manner is this suppressor, or any Barrel Extension for that matter, attached to the muzzle of most shotguns in the game as none of the available weapons of that type have external barrel threads.

Trivia

LED Combo

  • The LED Combo is based on the Leapers, Inc. UTG LED Weapon light and Laser.
    • Although the main flashlight has a toggle switch, the laser sight component of the LED Combo is pressure-activated, meaning the laser will stay on as long as the pressure switch is depressed. This switch is not placed where it should be, however (on foregrips, magazine wells, etc...) and is instead ziptied to the main taclight, leaving no plausible mean for the user to toggle it without awkwardly moving their off hand off the weapon and gripping the attachment itself.

Trivia[]

  • The Judge is based on the Taurus 4510PLYFS, a "pocket-sized" variant of the Taurus Judge, the real-life Judge has a longer barrel, bigger handgrip with a red rubber insert and a more squared frame. Due to it being classified as a shotgun, the in-game iteration likely fires .410 shotshells.
    • The in-game name of the weapon might have either been inspired by the real Judge, or because of a mistake in identifying the base weapon by the developers. This is not unusual, as the Taurus 4510PLYFS has the words "The Judge" stamped onto the side of its barrel, which might confuse users who are unfamiliar with Taurus products.
    • Unlike portrayed in-game, neither the Taurus Judge nor its many derivatives are legally considered as shotguns in real-life (anywhere in the world outside the state of California, as the baseline Judge is considered a short-barreled shotgun in said state), their rifled barrels qualifies them as common handguns instead.
    • From a realistic standpoint, the high in-game damage rating of the Judge is highly unusual as the type of shell it uses, the .410 Bore, is currently the smallest marketed shotgun shell.
      • The in-game Judge can be made to use 000 Buckshots, which is redundant, as the type of .410 Bore shells it uses is already a specialized variant of said buckshots.
      • The Judge's shotshells are actually longer than the cylinder by a small margin, as can be seen when inspecting the weapon in the inventory.
  • When using any gadget, the rail adapter has a Brazilian flag on the right side and "Made in Brazil" stamped near the the cylinder; this could be because Taurus, the manufacturer of the real life Judge, is Brazil-based.
  • The Judge is the one of three double action revolving shotguns in PAYDAY 2, the others being the Street Sweeper and Goliath 12G.
  • Despite its revolver design, the Judge is capable of being silenced, although this wouldn't be possible in reality as nearly all revolvers have a small flash gap between the cylinder and the barrel, from which expanding gas (and sound) can escape while firing.
    • This is made even more implausible by the Judge/45PLYFS's barrel design, as the short length and small diameter of the weapon's barrel does not contain nor is capable of accepting internal threads to support a suppressor attachment.
  • The Judge is one of several shotguns in the game to not have the "12G" suffix. The other weapons that shares this characteristic are the M1014, Reinfeld 880, Raven and Street Sweeper.
    • This is further justified by the fact that it is also the only shotgun featured in the game to not be able to chamber standard 12-gauge 00 Buckshots in reality due to its size.
