Crypto Ability Theories

After watching the "Stories from the Outlands" teaser on YouTube I thought I would put my 2 cents on what I think his abilities will be

Ultimate: Survey Drone - it flies upward and highlights nearby enemies for your team . Lasts 20 seconds 

Tactical: Impulse Grenade - does minimal damage and slows enemies for a couple seconds (like the arc star). Long respawn since it can be powerful.

Passive: Unsure but suspect something similar to survey beacons/new use for survey beacons

He will also be the 2nd Tactical legend joining Bloodhound

  • I should add that I'm torn on what positions the drone and grenade would be. I wouldn't be too surprised to see a drone as tactical and grenade as ultimate.

  • His abilities have already been released.

    • Tactical: Aerial Drone - Surveillance camera drone, lasts for 40 seconds, 200 meter range. Can be destroyed. Can hack doors, loot bins and pick up banners with drone.
    • Passive: Neuro Link - Crypto and teammates see what surveillance drone detect up to 30 meters away.
    • Ultimate: Weapon Drone EMP - Charge up an EMP blast from your drone. Deals shield damage, slows enemies and disables all traps.

    Ponder no further my friend. 😉

    @MandatoryIDtag so you need to camp Crypto in order to drive the drone to "shop" for you. Works perfectly for solos!

    Question though: can a drone crash into another?

    The drone uses advanced code that avoids any crashes.

    if (goingToCrashIntoEachOther)

       { Don't ( ); }

    I don't know to be honest but I think they don't 🤔 

  • The bit that's thrown me is "hack doors"

    Now is this just fancy talk for opening doors...or will we be able to lock them or something? 

    Few more days and i'll find out i guess lol.

  • @NienOClock  yeaah, on paper they look OP, but the trade off is that you're completely immobile when using them, probably blind to your surroundings too unless your drones looking at you.
