Stop whining, start exploring and adapting!

It's pathetic, how fast you guys start whining about the new map, instead of accepting the fact, that changes can be a good thing. The dev's already confirmed, to bring back King's Canyon back at so...

Sure... I might not try again until I move to my new apartment, with a 500Mbps internet connection and a proper desktop. Playing from the sofa hurts (literally - both back and shoulder. Or maybe I'm just getting old) ☹️

So, the drone keeps flying until shot down? No time limit for it? Sure, some campers at least will have some nice views while hiding (I've seen squad members hiding away from the very beginning until the end, doing absolutely nothing at all but waiting...). Do you think winning a casual game (not even ranked!) is enough reward to play like this?

I don't understand it really but ok, this is BR and everybody has its own tactics, even if boring as hell :D

@Fr3dY2 The drone can only fly if crypto is in it. Otherwise it just hangs where you leave it, marking enemies within 30m only (that's not much). Losing it hurts quite a lot, since cooldown is I think 40 or 45 seconds. And all that time that you have no drone, you can't even use the ultimate. You can also recall the drone at any time (don't need to enter it), if you think you may risk losing it.

But when you sit safely tucked away - sure, you can fly the drone forever. And the leash range for it is I think 150 meters (can't fly further away from crypto than that).

I don't think crypto increases chances of winning a casual game by much, since the info is only useful if the team can use it, and as we well know, casual teammates are not that teamy.

But crypto is definitely very fun to play, at least for now, so win or no win, it's definitely worth playing him XD. And you don't particularly need to just sit around doing nothing. You can also use the drone to quickly fly around and find some victims - it's much faster than just walking on foot and you also don't risk accidentally running into a 1x3 - all you lose is the drone.

It's also great to just check what's actually happening before going in for a 3rd party - you can hang it very high above and have a broad overview of the whole area, with ability too see any other teams incoming (you will have to spot them yourself though, drone won't mark em from far away).
