Judge Dredd pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
The goal
Make the loop skill shot, spell JUDGE, use the left ramp to build Multiball, alternate the left ramp and subway for four rising Jackpots during Multiball, then complete the set to reach Ultimate Challenge.
Let the plunge circle the large loop. Use the upper-left flipper to shoot the loop again for the skill shot.
Use the opening ball save to test the JUDGE bank, both ramps, and the Deadworld subway return.
Complete the JUDGE drop targets to light each lock. After collecting two locks, leave the third lock lit until the left-ramp feed is controlled.
Shoot the left ramp for each lock. The third lock starts four-ball Multiball on release software.
- Release behavior depends on the installed Deadworld mechanism and ROM settings.: Release behavior depends on the installed Deadworld mechanism and ROM settings.
During Multiball, use JUDGE hits to build Jackpot value. Shoot the left ramp to light the next Jackpot.
Shoot the subway behind the Deadworld target to collect the Jackpot. Repeat the ramp and subway cycle four times.
- The four awards are Mortis, Fire, Fear, and Death.: The four awards are Mortis, Fire, Fear, and Death.
After the Death Jackpot, use the replenished balls to shoot the lit Crime Scenes.
- On release L-7, Ultimate Challenge restores lost balls and lights the Crime Scene shots for 10,000,000 each.
Between Multiballs, start a safe Chain Link at the flashing left ramp or Sniper Tower. Prefer Manhunt, Blackout, or Sniper Tower when their shots are controlled.
Alternative route: Ramps and Crime Scenes
Use this plan when the JUDGE bank produces dangerous rebounds.
- Repeat the safer ramp. Its unlit value increases during the current ball.
- Collect a lit Crime Scene when its shot has a controlled return.
- Start a Chain Link only when its flashing start shot is safe.
- Return to the JUDGE bank only when one lock will justify the rebound risk.
