I want to get better at using other legends especially the ones that are ignored by the majority of players. Played a few games with the Korean hacker and I can sense that I'm not using his kit to the fullest. Any tips from anyone who uses him a lot? art from maxilsr.tumblr.com

@Cheese9Man I used to use him a lot in ranked matches. At the begining I always try to see if there are any squads in the area, I believe this is one of his best features (in case you didn't know, you can see and even ping this info while in drone mode on the banners all over the map). Also, when I am still on one place I leave my drone near from this banners so the only thing I have to do is press the drone button, ping and they leave drone mode, usually o check for enemies and let my team know too.Another great feature, is that he can scan survey beacons within 1 second of interaction while on drone mode, same thing with banners and respawn beacons.His ultimate is a really good alternative to use before pushing someone, I usually carry 1 or 2 ultimate accelerants while playing him. Also remember not to always be on drone mode, use it when necessary and moderately. (:I guess that's all I know xd

@Cheese9Man I played crypto once by accident recently and won the game. I think I only empd my team once. 🤣All this being said is my advice is you need a premade squad. No one will wait for you. He probably has the highest learning curve on the game too.

Thanks everyone will definitely take consideration all your advice! I’m also rocking the new Tae Joon Park skin xD

I don't main any legends, but I have put considerable time into crypto so here we go;- Don't spend too long in your drone, it's an embarrassing way to get killed and you'll annoy your team.- utilise EMP as much as you can, try and memorise the size of the emp's range and you can really utilise it offensively.- make use of terrain where applicable while activating drone. E.g use cover, drone activation whilst sliding towards cover/or downhill for less time spent static etc.-Crypto is one of the legends with quietest footsteps in game, you can actually mask yourself to a certain extent with his drones audio when in a gunfight, obviously I'm not saying it's like using the ninja perk on cod...People can still hear your footsteps but it'll just be that much harder with the drones audio+gunfire popping-utilise the passive! Now this is a huge one, crypto has such a versatile passive that really empowers his drone but it gets slept on constantly.As crypto you can instantly activate survey beacons without putting yourself at risk, collect banners from boxed teammates, again without risk. Then there's the the feature carri mentioned, knowing how many squads in the area is a huge advantage, this is the sort of knowledge that can really adapt how you proceed through a match....and can be the difference between a clean fight and a messy 3rd party scenario.Sorry for the text wall, I'll stop rambling! XD

@Cheese9Man Watch match1n... number 1 crypto user atm

@hayhor It depends on who you have as a team. I've had some pretty nice wins with Crypto. He may not be a Legend that you're going to get kill leader with or a lot of kills in game, but he can def come in clutch at times if used right.

@Cheese9Man Not sure I can add much to what others have said, but know when & when not to use the drone. That's big. Scan beacons with it for at least the 1st 2 rounds. If you're going to push with the EMP make sure you & your squad is close enough to rush in after it goes off.

Also I think it's very ironic that the most secretive man in Apex has a real identity skin lol.

@Lord_Scorpion34 Honestly I think his banner reading is the most underrated part of his kit. If a crypto isnt doing that he is bad

@hayhor Yes definitely.

I either hide the drone behind a banner, structure or tree & check periodically.
