Tactical Information
- Compared to others in its weapon class, the Adjudicator's advantages are its high damage per round and ability to penetrate Medium armor.
- The Adjudicator can be a very reliable weapon for dealing with armored foes. It can dispatch Brood Commanders, Hive Guards, Reinforced Scout Striders and Devastators even when aiming directly at their Medium armor portions.

- The Adjudicator's primary drawback is its lower magazine capacity, and higher recoil per shot, making it harder to put multiple rounds on the same target in quick succession.
- Because of this, Helldivers are advised to employ tap-firing to conserve ammo and control recoil.
- Its heavy recoil can be diminished by equipping armor with the Engineering Kit or Fortified Armor Passives. Additionally, a lowered and/or grounded stance further assists with keeping one's rounds on a target.
Trivia
- Because the Adjudicator uses a full-power cartridge instead of an intermediate cartridge, it is considered a battle rifle rather than an assault rifle, and this is reflected in its designation of BR instead of AR.
- The design is loosely based off of the American M14 Rifle and the Belgian FN Fal. This is referenced with the in-game designation of "BR-14"
