Judgment's protagonist Takayuki Yagami is perpetually light on cash as far as the plot is concerned, but savvy players can quite easily amass vast sums of money with these tips and tricks. From VR escapades to taking out trash on the streets of Kamurocho, there are plenty of ways for Yagami to line his pockets.

Judgment is an action-adventure video game developed by Ryu Go Gotoku Studios and published by Sega. It follows the adventures of Takayuki Yagami, a former lawyer turned private detective, as he and his ex-yakuza partner Kaito solve a number of cases on the streets of Kamurocho. From the escapades of the terrible trio to the ongoing serial murder case that looms over the streets, Yagami and Kaito have their work cut out for them if they hope to uncover the truth.

Paradise VR

Paradise VR is easily the fastest way to make large amounts of money, offering cash prizes and valuable sellable items each run. The main issue with Paradise VR is finding play passes so Yagami can actually play, but with an infinite pass available to players who take the time to find all the vouchers it can potentially become an easily accessible source of infinite funds.

Even without the infinite pass players can still acquire regular play passes from clearing courses at the batting center for the first time, from random encounters, and from the casino exchanges.

Side Cases

Another quick way for Yagami to make some cash is by doing his job and taking on Side Cases. These always offer a decent cash reward and sometimes also supply Yagami with items, disguises, and access to even more Side Cases, so they're always worth the time.

Side cases can be acquired from all over Kamurocho, but many of them are acquired from Yagami's Office, the Genda Law Office, or the Bartender at Tender. They can also be found while out and about on the streets of Kamurocho.

Street Fights

It wouldn't be a Yakuza game without plenty of street brawls, and Judgment's fights can be especially lucrative, with enemies dropping money or valuable items like plates and jewelry. This makes them a great source of money, especially when the Keihin Gang are on the prowl and can be taken out for some serious rewards.

Their leadership can be tough, but also tend to drop the best loot when Yagami takes them down, so it's worth taking the time to fight them when they decide to show up.

Judgment is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Amazon Luna, and Google Stadia.
