Crypto's Drone make Crypto a callout king (idea)

Crypto's drone is like his partner in crime and his third eye. This is inspired by the Crypto teaser in game when his drone spotted players and notify Crypto while he is hacking.

[Ability Idea #1]

By pressing the recall button Crypto no longer store his drone. Crypto's drone will follow behind him and scan in front of Crypto (to fully recall drone press recall again. To cancel follow press ability button). The drone will have the same scan radius and ping enemies whenever they are in range. The drone will still have a hitbox and can still be destroyed.

there are times when you want to be stealthy and not scan enemy, so you can still store the drone back. 

[Ability Idea #2]

same ability but the drone has a cooldown. The longer it follows Crypto, the longer it takes to recharge the drone.

[Passive Alternative idea]

When looting, crafting etc. when Crypto is not looking his drone will come out behind him and keep an eye out for him by flying around Crypto and scan the environment.

Crypto is the kind of character that is very aware of his surroundings. So it's natural for him to be alert all the time so no one can sneak up behind him

[Why]

Crypto doesn't have any defensive / escape abilities, so Crypto is the most passive character in game and can get easily picked off in a less organized team. Crypto can use his neurolink and notify his teammates whenever he needs help making his teammate his defensive ability. Crypto can also use this ability to easily spot enemies that are in the corner of your view as intense battle can sometime make you miss them.

This will also increase pick rate and experience of Crypto in public matches as Crypto can better coordinate and call out enemy locations in the middle of a fight without using voice chat. Think of it as bloodhound scan but doesn't go through walls. As Crypto is not popular in pub because he is a communication heavy character. This also encourages Crypto players to be more aggressive with their playstyle as many Crypto players doesn't really contribute to the team when they are in drone mode (The range is not far so sniping / long range battle still need Crypto to position his drone). Because the current ping system is still vague this will be a improved version for only Crypto that can ping multiple enemies accurately and reliably. Information determines victory and I believe Crypto will agree.

This is not really an addition that will make Crypto OP but something that fit Crypto's character and also give him a better experience for newer players. Since the drone can't see through wall. It mainly serves as communication tool of what Crypto can already see to him teammates (Also who doesn't love to see Crypto's little drone follows around him?)
