Re: New Mechanic for Crypto!

@Midnight9746
The Gold Revive has ALWAYS been greater heals on revive. The self revive went away season 10 or something, long before my time.
There was a DOC-like tether from Hack to Lifeline, and she was getting picked up.
Just as she gets to her feet, drone gets destroyed, thus cancelling the basically complete revive.
Then she left.
She also got shot in the back after drone got shot. Same shooter that took out Hack.

We'd basically just landed. Our best KDS was blue.
Quit saying it didn't happen. I know what I did. I know what I saw. I wish I recorded it.

@Zulkiers Just to clearify, the golden knockdown shield took on the golden backpack's perk in S14, which was Vantage's season. Each season lasts about 3 or so months, so it can be easy to get them mixed up.

However, if it really was during season 14, it might of had been a bug or something that was being tested. It also could of been something accidentally added when they gave him the ability to pick up his teammate's banner cards while in his drone. If it was an accident, its been about 4 years since this feature was added, and from what I can recall, you couldn't use respawn beacons while in his drone during the early years of this ability.

I could pick up banners and instantly use the respawns and recons. Still can. Nothing has changed.
The only thing changed is A) {most recent} new armor system. B) {soon after I got him} No more DOC wire from Hack to allies, nor a prompt to revive. Perhaps the wire still exists, but only the prompt died, and with no prompt, no way to access the feature. They should bring it back. Killing that feature didn't change my playstyle, only made me more useless to my team.

I still find it hilarious that I often make 12 respawns per life as Crypto, assuming my team is about as good a shot as me (utterly terrible) and stuck with me through their multiple deaths.

Since I joined, Gold revive has always been better health revives, Gold Backpack extra rare healing items, gold helm faster cooldowns, gold armor double basic med potency. I'm sad they got rid of the gold armor. It was a life saver, especially if you got caught outside the ring. Made syringes insanely more useful.
