Crypto's Abilities Question

I have never really played Crypto, and I don't really understand his abilities. I was spectating a crypto player and noticed when he wasn't flying the drone, he kept targeting players like the drone...

@Cheese9Man - You can ping the legend banners to see if there are enemy squads nearby 200 meters away from Crypto (not he drone)

What does that mean? What banners? The ones dotted around the landscape?

Some other advanced or missed tips on the crypto drone

- Without even scanning, you can place the drone on top of the house/building where the enemies are so that the drone sound will drown out a lot of your footsteps when attacking that squad.

- You can activate the EMP even when you’re not in drone mode

- Pathfinder can grapple on to the drone

- If you’re Fuse you can ult the drone to have a huge ring of fire covering a whole building and basically having wallhacks like this video

- Back in season 7 you can do this but you’ll get a suspension

One thing I would add when playing crypto is to really utilise momentum from movement when using your drone.
E.g let's say I'm coming up to a downhill slope with some cover at the bottom, and there's a fight another 70m ahead. I'll sprint slide down the hill aiming for said cover, during this slide I'll activate my drone.
This allows my character to move into cover whilst I position my drone for either recon or offensive purposes.
The quicker you can gather information as crypto the more of a help you are to your team, extended drone use should be avoided unless the situation calls for it.
Edit: hit survey beacons with the drone when you can too, there's no wind up time on the survey beacons for his drone.....and frankly advanced ring knowledge is huge gains. 😛
