Problem with crypto drone

Is there a problem with anyone else involving the crypto  drone where it arbitrarily darkens the drone screen to almost impossible to see through darkness? I can’t get it to correlate to any action, area or distance from crypto. Seems to be random and about makes the character impossible to use. 

Does not appear to be some kind of balance mechanism related to distance or angles etc. I do not see the issue on other players YouTube videos etc.

    @D90X Hey, do you have any clips of this happening? I've seen a few reports of it but I haven't encountered it myself.

    Recorded a clip on my Xbox. How do I upload it. I see an attachment option. I guess I have to figure out how to send it while on my Xbox

    Were you able to figure out how to send the clip? It can always be uploaded to YouTube if you're able to toss in a link here.

    The team is aware of that but good news it's actually only a UI issue. You should be able to still use it once it's available. It's charging but the bar isn't moving.

    It's listed on the Dev Tracker here.

  • Crypto just has a UI issue as stated. When you start the match with him, use his drone once and recall it to be back to normal as intended The Drone is not destroyed at all.

    This is the only thing that was fixed from what I can tell after Duo Mode went away. The UI bug of the drone appearing to be on cooldown at the start of the match has been fixed.

    In addition to the weakness of the drone. The biggest problem with it imo is it’s just far too bright and noisy to be effective. If one or both of those issues  were fixed the weakness of it wouldn’t be such a problem.
