How to get Judge Dredd in Call of Duty: Warzone

As part of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, players can get their hands on the Judge Dredd character from the popular comic series of the same name. Although Dredd officially debuted in 1977, the character didn’t appear in the United States until 1983, hence his inclusion in Warzone — seeing as how everything is themed after the 1980s right now. Dredd is labeled as a superhero, but not like Superman or Storm. Instead, Judge Dredd works more like a vigilante, taking the law into his own hands.

He’s a cool character you might want to play as, and in this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about his inclusion in the Call of Duty battle royale. Here’s how to get Judge Dredd in Warzone.

Like all the licensed Operators in Call of Duty: Warzone, Judge Dredd must be purchased from the in-game store. To do so, you’ll need to buy the Tracer Pack: Judge Dredd Limited Time Bundle, which costs 2,400 COD Points (equal to around $20). Remember, you can either buy COD Points with real money or earn them by leveling up the battle pass. Each battle pass has numerous opportunities to earn COD Points, but if you’re short, you’ll need to shell out real-world cash.

The Judge Dredd bundle will be available until October 14 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

What does the Judge Dredd bundle come with?

The bundle itself has a slew of goodies, aside from just a cool Judge Dredd Operator skin. Here’s everything you get with it:

  • Judge Dredd — Beck Skin
  • Comic Strip — Beck Skin
  • Lawgiver — Handgun
  • Arbitrator Rifle — Assault Rifle
  • Quick Judgement — Submachine Gun
  • Incendiary — Black Ops Cold War Operator Finishing Move
  • Judge’s Watch — Watch
  • Book of Law — Charm
  • Life & Death — Emblem
  • Quarrel of Judges — Calling Card

The Comic Strip skin is essentially a black and white version of the Dredd costume, reminiscent of his comic book origins.

By this point, you probably have amassed a large pile of Operators and skins to go along with them, so it might not be clear how to select the one you want. In this case, the Judge Dredd skin is associated with the Beck Operator, so navigate over to the Operators tab to find him. Beck is found under the Black Ops section, and once you find him, press the Customize button (Y on Xbox and Triangle on PlayStation) to set the skin.

Here, you’ll have a list of all the skins associated with that Operator. Navigate down to Judge Dredd (or Comic Strip) and select it. Now, when you back out to the Operators screen, make sure you select Beck as your current Operator (A on Xbox or X on PlayStation) to play as him. As for the rest of the cosmetics, you’ll want to set those within the game’s menu, such as the Calling Card, Emblem, and other weapon blueprints that come with the bundle.

The best Perk-A-Colas in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
A screenshot from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's zombies mode.

There's nothing more refreshing than taking a nice big swig of a Perk-A-Cola during an intense Zombies match with your pals in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Besides tasting great (we assume), these colas empower you with buffs that will keep you alive until the later rounds. These bonuses are just as important as the Pack-A-Punch, but come in a wider range of flavors. It is possible to stack them all, but that gets expensive very fast so you need to be thrifty about choosing which ones are most valuable early on. These colas come in eight different types that may or may not be worth your Essence to chug. If you want to know which ones are the best in Black Ops 6, check out our ranking.
Best Perk-A-Colas in Black Ops 6

We're ranking these Perk-A-Colas based on their base bonuses, not any additional effects you can get if you Augment them, from best to worst.
Jugger-Nog
You can never go wrong with the classic Jugger-Nog. Increasing your health by 100 is useful for the entire duration of a Zombies mode, but especially in the early rounds. Going down is at best a major setback and at worst a cascade into defeat. This extra health allows you to get out of a bad situation that would otherwise end your run.
Quick Revive
This Perk has two components, with the less useful one being the ability to revive teammates 50% faster. Ideally, that shouldn't be needed but is nice. However, what makes it rank so high is the 50% shorter delay on health regen. Your health will come back over time in Zombies but at a dreadful pace. Starting to heal faster means less time running and kiting zombies around and more time in the action helping the team.
Speed Cola
The best early guns for Zombies mode have a large magazine, fast reload, or both. Running out of ammo at the wrong time and not being able to get more rounds in the chamber fast enough has ended many a run, but Speed Cola is the solution. It will speed up your reloads and armor plating by 30%. That's not a massive number, but fast enough to make the difference.
Stamin-Up
These zombies aren't the shambling types. They will chase you down like sprinters, and some of the monstrous ones can outpace you even at full tilt. Stamin-Up sounds like it would let you run for longer, but actually just lets you run faster since you have no limit on sprint in Black Ops 6. Positioning is everything in Zombies so being able to get where you need to be faster is never a bad thing, especially if it's a downed teammate bleeding out.
Deadshot Daiquiri
Every zombie has a weak spot, which is most often the head. Deadshot Daiquiri makes a critical hit hurt even more than normal, plus increases your auto-aim on those weak points when you aim down sights (ADS). That second part shouldn't factor much if you've got good aim, which is why this is only a decent Perk-A-Cola.
PhD Flopper
Not being able to hurt yourself is situationally useful, and the ability to cause an explosion by diving is a risky move. Yes, it's cool, but you don't want to be lying prone surrounded by zombies. This is a cool gimmick, but save yourself the Essence and skip it.
Elemental Pop
When Elemental Pop works, it's great. The problem with it is that you can't rely on it. It gives a small chance on every shot you take to add a random ammo mod effect, which is cool but impractical. If you have spare Essence on you, sure, it won't hurt you to have, but it isn't something that will turn the tide for you or your team.
Melee Macchiato
Finally, Melee Macchiato bottoms out the list. It is fine in the early game when the hordes are small and you're better off meleeing enemies since it will smack enemies away with each hit, but quickly drops off in usefulness. When the zombies get too strong and too numerous, you will need a lot more than a strong punch to deal with them and end up forgetting you even have it.

e3 2021 missing games call of duty

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. The original Call of Duty set a new standard for first-person shooters, the series' online multiplayer work has been a must-play for gamers for nearly two decades, and Warzone has been one of the top battle royale experiences of late.

The series has covered a lot of warfare, from World War II to futuristic fictional wars in 2187, but never in any set order. Players have been bounced around from era to era with each annual COD release and even revisited the same conflicts multiple times from different perspectives through direct sequels and remakes.
