Judgment: Upgrade your drone & use it perfectly | GameZ
This guide to Judgment shows you:
- Where to start drone races
- How to equip the drone
- How to get the best drone parts
Besides the thrilling thriller story, there are also all kinds of mini-games to complete in Judgment. One of them is related to your drone, which you'll have to use again and again throughout the campaign.
There's even a league of your own and you can improve and upgrade your drone - but how? We'll show you how to get your aircraft, use it and upgrade it in our guide to the PlayStation 4 title.

1. Unlocking and using the drone
You will automatically unlock the drone during the campaign. In Chapter 2, you will see some drones in the sky and you should go to the Millennium Tower. There you will meet a man who will tell you about the Drone League. Only from this point can you start the races in the building at the stand.
You control the drone itself primarily with the two analog sticks. If you push the left one forward, you accelerate - left and right for a change of direction. The right stick is there for altitude - but it's also enormously important for turns. You should always control tight spots with the right stick. With R1 you use a turbo, which slowly fills up.
On the tracks you will also find blue circles, which also give you a small boost. Green fields fill up your life bar again. If you hit an obstacle at full speed, the drone will slowly break down.
You can make your life a lot easier with some skills. "Drone Pilot" turns down the influence of the wind, "Turbo Start" gives you a boost to take off, like in the Mario Kart series, for example.
You can also use the drone in the open world at any time - as long as you're out in the fresh air. Just select the device via your phone and you can take photos from the air. You'll need this feature especially for the QR codes, but more on that later.
2. How to improve the drone
Besides skills, you can also upgrade your drone in the drone lab. You can find it right next to the race registration. Buy new frames, engines, propellers, turbo and cruise control. You'll have to keep a few things in mind, though.
For one thing, the improvements not only cost a lot of money, they also devour resources. You'll find them scattered all over the city, especially rare materials you'll get for the first place in the individual races.
On the other hand, don't forget to install the upgrades. Go to the menu, select the drone and go to "Customize". Here you can attach the new parts. Note that you don't have infinite space - you can improve the drone's volume via the frame, otherwise you'll have to compromise.
3. All races and rewards of the Drone League
You can either fly single races, or participate in a Grand Prix. There are a total of ten courses and 5 leagues that you can win. The courses always go through the city, sometimes through buildings.

- Beginner League
- Amateur league
- Advanced league
- Expert League
- Champion League
