Strategic Advice

When Breeze appears in your rotation, consider whether the Judge is truly the optimal choice. While the 51.8% win rate isn't catastrophic, other shotguns may provide more value on this map's specific layout.

Remember that weapon mastery can overcome statistical disadvantages. If you're comfortable with the Judge's spray pattern and damage profile, your personal performance may exceed these averages. However, for players comfortable with multiple weapons, flexing to stronger map picks is a proven strategy for climbing the competitive ladder. Always consider your team's economy and the map's engagement distances when making weapon purchases.
