"The JUDICATOR is powered by cold-fusion synthesis. It fires SUPERCOOLED PLASMA at temperatures approaching absolute zero." -Metroid Prime: Hunters Logbook Entry

The Judicator is an ice-based Affinity Weapon that was possibly made for and by the Vhozon. It shoots supercooled plasma at near absolute zero temperatures, and when fired, the blasts ricochet off of the walls. When charged, it fires three shots, unless used by Noxus, in which case it can freeze enemies within a certain radius.

Samus Aran acquires the Judicator in Arcterra. The Judicator is then used to take down the Slench in Arcterra, as well as destroy numerous Purple Force Fields and Purple Blast Shields in Arcterra and Alinos. Additionally, the Judicator is effective against Spire and enemies that use attacks similar to the Magmaul.

[edit] Multiplayer Role

The Judiciator is good for mid to short range combat. Noxus can freeze people with the charged shot; once you freeze your enemies with the charged shot, you can plug a few rounds into them, or switch to the Imperialist and nail a headshot. Noxus's charged shot has a short range, though, so try to stay close to the target. However, there is a tactic called Shadow Freezing to bypass that. If you are not Noxus, then instead of freezing your opponents with the charge shot, you can shoot three rounds at once. A good strategy for this is to be close to your target so the all of the rounds hit it.

[edit] Trivia

• Plasma is the 4th state of matter, beyond gas. It is found in stars, lightning, plasma televisions, and other things. While typically very hot, it is possible to make plasma at temperatures as low as 0.1 Kelvin (which is, indeed, close to absolute zero) by using a laser cooling system.
• Certain objects will show the words "SUPERCOOLED PLASMA" in the description when scanned. The words "SUPERCOOLED PLASMA" always refer to the Judicator.
• When charged shots are fired by hunters other than Noxus in multiplayer, the Judicator shoots out 3 rounds simultaneously similar to the mechanics of the Spazer Beam. When charged shots are fired by Noxus, they have an ability to freeze similar to the Ice Beam.
• Besides the Magmaul, the Judicator is the only weapon that Samus has used that can bounce off of walls.
