Judgment is one of the most popular Hand Cannons in Destiny 2. However, after the Rite of the Nine event, the weapon now has even more power in terms of damage output and utility, making it a great gear piece to chase in the Prophecy Dungeon. Although the perks don't provide anything new in the Stasis department, Judgment comes with a high base range and damage to satisfy users in all activities.
This article lists the best perks for Judgment in PvP and PvE.

How to get Judgment in Destiny 2
Judgment can be farmed from the Prophecy Dungeon in the Rite of the Nine event via the Eternity tab. Players can complete encounters or collect the Nonary Manifold currencies to get the weapon as a drop from the event's social hub. Judgment's Adept version can also be farmed from Prophecy, but only via the Ultimatum mode.
