The BR-14 Adjudicator is an automatic marksman rifle. However, you will quickly learn that using this gun in automatic mode is not the way to go. Holding down the trigger will force you to deal with some serious recoil, causing you to miss shots. The gun also doesn't have a lot of bullets, so wasting shots is an issue.

To use the BR-14 Adjudicator, set it to semi-automatic mode. You can set yourself a little bit farther from your enemies and snipe them from long range. While the BR-14 doesn't do a lot of damage, its rate of fire and Medium Armor Penetrating trait will allow you to deal with larger threats like Chargers and Hulks in Helldivers 2.

But if enemies close in, you might struggle to survive with the BR-14 Adjudicator. At the end of the day, it is a marksman rifle and can't deal with crowds as well as weapons like the AR-23 and the SG-225 Breaker. So, combining it with the P-19 Redeemer or the G-31 Grenade Pistol is recommended to deal with crowds in Helldivers 2.
