AC Judas (US) | Zehn Gebote (Jap)[]
Judas (Zehn Gebote in japanese) is a heavyweight bipedal AC equipped with relation missile extensions, a vertical missile launcher, a chaingun, a bazooka, a laser blade that fires blade waves and an overboost core. The unit is capable of ignoring weight restrictions. Due to the Human PLUS enhancements of the pilot the unit can fire the chaingun while moving.
Strategy[]
Strung in reality isn't that hard, in comparison to most other top tier enemies. Judas is a fairly slow AC so with a quicker AC model, you can stay behind it and pound it. The problem is getting behind Strung's PLUS abilities. His chaingun can be somewhat annoying to deal with due to its good damage and heat, but given as he's piloting a slow heavyweight, it's somewhat simple to stay behind him. His vertical missiles are a bit awkward to deal with but aren't too tough to avoid, while his bazooka is fairly slow.
When fought in Attack Research Team, the lack of visibility and radar are the main dangers. Strung doesn't use the chaingun during this fight, relying on his bazooka and vertical missiles whilst also boosting much more frequently. Considering another AC was just fought before hand, this can be a nasty wake-up call. It's best to get in hits when possible, avoiding his bazooka fire.

Trivia[]
- According to AC2's website, "Strung" is 50 years old.
- His AC name is connected to the Bible when Judas betrayed Jesus Christ and in this case Strung betrayed The Raven
- His AC name in japanese version Zehn Gebote means The 10 Commandments in German.
- Just like with the other Ravens encountered in the missions, If you complete the Attack Research Team and successfully kill Strung, he will disappear from the Arena.
- It is likely that he was the one who mentored Matthias, as he was killed by the Raven in Attack Research Team and his real name was never known (Strung is actually a nickname). Furthermore, Matthias is the name given to the disciple of Judas Iscariot, as one of the 12 apostles. Given that Strung's AC name is Judas (likely a reference to Judas Iscariot himself), it is also highly likely that Matthias is Strung's real name.
