Introduction
Welcome to Mega-City One, a city of over 400 million people - every one of them a potential
criminal. It is the third decade of the 22nd Century, unemployment is widespread, boredom is
universal and only the Judges can prevent total anarchy. Empowered to dispense instant
justice, they are Judge, Jury and Executioner all in one. The most feared and respected of all
the Judges is you, Judge Dredd.
Patrol the streets and mete out instant justice wherever it is needed. The Psi-Judges are
predicting a terrible plague is this the sudden outbreak of Vampires on the city, and are they
the work of the malevolent Dark Judges?

Your health bar starts at full. If it drops to zero and you have no Medi-Paks, you will die.
B
Medi-Paks
You can hold up to 3 Medi-Paks. You may come across one of these whilst patrolling the
streets or you may be given one by a Med-Judge. They are automatically used when your
health runs down. You keep Medi-Paks from one chapter to the next.
C
Armour
Your body armour has limited self-healing powers thanks to a layer of Nanite technology: If
your armour rating drops, just try to stay out of trouble for a few seconds and it should repair
itself.
D
LawMeter
Measures how well you are doing as a Judge upholding the law.

for another one.

When you pick up a weapon, it goes into this slot. You can change this weapon for another
one by walking up to a weapon on the ground and pressing Action.
Ranking System
Depending on your final end of chapter score, you will receive a rank from:
Cadet
Rookie
Street Judge
Senior Judge
Judge Dredd.
You cannot get a Judge Dredd rating if you have any unlawful deaths In this case you will
be awarded the rank below Judge Dredd.
Your highest rank is visible on the chapter select screen to allow you to try to improve your
ranking.
The higher the rank achieved, the greater the number of Multiplayer characters unlocked.
The LawMeter
Each time you successfully arrest someone, or complete an objective, your LawMeter goes
up. Whilst theres no such thing as an innocent civilian, the LawMeter may not register an
increase for very minor offences, e.g. illegal imprisonment of a goldfish.
Remember that your final rank at the end of the chapter is based in part on your final
LawMeter reading, so try to keep it as high as possible.
Your LawMeter will go down if you harm innocent citizens, or if you attack perpetrators
(perps) without challenging them first. Firing Incendiary ammo at normal citizens is frowned
upon by the Justice Department, and will result in a sharp drop in your LawMeter. However,
use of Incendiary will also devastate the morale of any onlookers, which can be useful if you
are heavily outnumbered.
If you commit an unlawful act whilst your LawMeter is at zero, the Justice Dept. will declare
you rogue and the Special Judicial Squad (SJS) will come to take you down.
Weapons
You can carry up to 2 weapons at a time. By walking over a weapon, you can swap it with
your secondary weapon by pressing Action. You can not drop your Lawgiver.
Civilian Weapons
Pistol
Probably the most common weapon on the
streets of Mega-City One, the pistol is a
good, solid design, enabling even the
clumsiest citizen to successfully threaten his
enemies. Both light and powerful, the
handgun forms the staple of many criminal
organisations, particularly in the lower ranks.
Spit Gun
Has a tremendous rate of fire and so is very
effective at close range, but it is not so good
over long distance due to its poor accuracy.
Stump Gun
The stump gun is a rifle-sized weapon that
fires cartridges filled with many individual
pellets. It is not capable of causing the
damage of a traditional bullet or shell-based
firearm, but instead throws its shot over a
greater target area, potentially wounding
several targets at once.
Grenade Launcher
Fires a powerful grenade which causes
explosive damage over a large area. Careful
where you point it!
Las Pistol
Rare due to their sheer expense, lasers are
awesome weapons with perhaps only the
Justice Departments own Lawgiver matching
its raw power as a pistol. The thin beam of
coherent light emitted with each shot from a
laser pistol is capable of causing serious
injury. Popular with perps seeking the
ultimate killing-power.
Las Rifle
Said to be capable of killing even a judge
with a single shot, laser rifles are even more
expensive than laser pistols, but pack a far
more powerful punch. Favoured by killers
who prefer to attack at great ranges in order
to avoid detection.
Multiplayer Games
Terms
A Kill is the point you get when you defeat an enemy.
A Loss is a point deducted from your score due to being defeated by an enemy.
Blockwar
Two teams must capture the opponents power generator rooms by running over the TAG
POINT and changing its colour to their own. At the same time, teams must protect their own
TAG POINTS, recapturing them if necessary. If you have chosen the default setting of No to
the Reset Tagpoints option, then a team will score a point for every second that they control
all the TAG POINTS. If this setting is changed to Yes, then when a team has all the TAG
POINTS, they are rest and the team scores a point.
Bounty Hunter
Someones put a 10 million cred bounty on Dredd. One player plays as Dredd, the rest have
to hunt him down. Dredd gains points for all the Perps he takes down. If another player kills
Dredd, that player becomes Dredd. The winner is the first player to reach the score limit or the
player with the most points when the time runs out.
Deathmatch / Team Deathmatch
Kill as many other players, (or players on the opposing team in Team Deathmatch) as
possible whilst trying to avoid getting killed. The person or team which reaches the kill limit
first or with the highest score at the time limit is the winner.
Tip: Finding the best weapon is a good way to get the upper hand.
Elimination/Team Elimination
Same as Deathmatch but each player or team can only die a certain number of times before
being knocked out. You can set No Respawn Delay in the options before the game starts
which will respawn players after a few seconds without a prompt from the player. This can
prevent players from deliberately not restarting.
Informant
There are 2 teams: an unarmed informant with a Judge protecting the informant, and Perps
who have been hired to assassinate the Informant. The Judge must escort the Informant from
the Safe House to the Pickup Point. If the unarmed informant reaches the base, that team
wins the round. The opposing team win the round if they kill the informant.
Judges vs Perps
The same as Deathmatch, but Judges start with and can only pick up Justice Dept Weaponry
and Perps and Civilians start with and can only pick up Civilian Weaponry (See the Weapons
section). Your Team loses a point if you kill a friendly team member.
Runner
One player is an unarmed Runner, who must survive for as long as possible, scoring a point
for every 10 seconds alive. All other players are Judges who cannot score any points as
Judges, but if they kill the Runner, they become the Runner. The winner is the player with the
most points when the time limit is up.
Thief
Each player starts with one CREDIT (a credit card) and they drop it when they are killed. Any
player can then pick up this CREDIT. If a player is carrying more than one credit, they drop
them all when they die. The player who reaches the CREDIT LIMIT wins.
Umpty Raid
At the beginning of a round the umpty candy 'spawns' in the centre of the map. The game
consists of two teams, both of whom must get to the umpty, pick it up and then return it to a
drop off point close to their start locations to score a point. The player holding the umpty has
an icon on screen to indicate that this player is holding it.
You can set the Umpty Delay in the options before the game starts. If a player who has the
umpty is killed, the umpty will remain where it is dropped for a certain amount of time (in
seconds) before being respawned.
Vampire
A variation of Elimination in which your health continually depletes and can only be
replenished by hurting or killing other players. When the bar reaches empty you lose a life.
This mode encourages aggressive play and no camping or hiding.
Multiplayer Options
Once you have selected which type of Multiplayer game you want to play, youll be able to
customise it through the Options. Please note that the options available will vary depending
on the game type you select.
