Crypto Buff Idea

Hello, I have been a Crypto main ever since they came out in Season 3 and absolutely love their kit; however I do believe these new ideas will be great changes to the character without making them OP or massive reworks.

PassiveThere has been multiple clips in Apex compilation videos where a player will find a Crypto in their drone and Crypto will have no idea they are in front of them even though their holographic screen is transparent. I suggest that whenever Crypto is in the drone they have a tiny screen above the ally health bars that shows what is in front of Crypto at all times. I also suggest that whenever the drone is out but Crypto is not using said drone the same screen is still above ally health bars but instead shows what the drone see's. Also, There is so many times my friends tell me to check if squads are in range and I have to enter my drone, check, then exit. This isn't much of a problem but more of an annoyance to the motion of gameplay but this is always something that I have wanted.

Tactical: Whenever you use use the tactical ability Crypto will throw his drone in front of him and then proceed to enter the drone view afterwards. This is not as slow as it used to be and I am very glad, however I have an idea for making this have a secondary option. Whenever you hold down the tactical ability Crypto will take off his drone from his back and be ready to throw the drone forwards about 10 to 15m, you can cancel this option whenever by pressing Triangle/Y/ and whatever PC uses to cancel grenade throws. This new change will make finding Crypto a bit harder since it doesn't spawn next to him anymore, also this would help out an enemy push whenever Crypto has his ultimate to send it in the sky and EMP. 

I really hope you read this and implement these changes into the game, I've been coming up with these changes over the past seasons and have been really excited just talking about it with my friends from just the thought of this being normal in apex for Crypto. 

 

  • I think the passive could be something else, but I like a lot the buff to the tactical and is completely fair for him to be able to do that, because Crypto is very slow and weak in teamfights compared to Bloodhound.

    @Cocodriloiloilo I would at least appreciate the built in screens, I always thought it would make sense since his screen is transparent. That and I really think it'd be nice not to switch back and forth to check for squads in the 200m radius. I really agree with everyone that Cryptos passive should be entirely changed and his existing passive be built into the tactical however I'm not too sure about what to do with that one yet without going too over the top. Cause the thing is, I think Crypto is the best medic since he can grab ally banners and respawn them instantly, really good for pushing if done right, really good for being aware if there is a squad near your squad. Like yeah he takes a lot of time to get used to but that's why I love em, he's not OP but he can feel OP if played right
  • @Chakra323I think his passive should be to turn invisible while using his drone. This wouldn’t be too OP because he can’t fight or even move about while he’s in his drone, and enemies could still scan him and see him with threat scopes.
