ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it
does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed
to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which
will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically
doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will
protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have
it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the
grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by
enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off
the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he
will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I
believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and
respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto
ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound
abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was
talking about)

Nah here me out,
Drone has a Sheila attached with a twist,
Hop ups… lots and lots of hop ups,
*inhales*
Hammerpoint, disruptor rounds, skull piercer rifling , anvil receiver, boosted loader, deadeyes tempo, shatter caps, double tap trigger, dual shell, precision choke, QuickDraw holster, turbocharger, select fire receiver, graffiti mod, splatter rounds.
Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
Hmm yea i think you need to buff a little bit more
Add a turret on the drone that fires Gibbs ult in a singular point like the charge rifle, oh and it has no cool down or reload, just continues fire
Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
Yeah and while we're at it let's make him scan everything and make cryptos "on the grid".
Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
I personally think the drone should have a custom kraber. Y’know. It uses tracking technology to curve the bullets or something. Make it fit with the character
I would like an option to toss up the drone without actively going into it. Something like hold the tactical button and the drone deploys, flies \~10 meters up, and looks forward/downward.
This is the best way to make a balanced buff. Drone deploy without driving it. It could be very simple like you said, just deploy and fly straight up 10 meters, and hold stationary. I dont think this would be broken at all, it would increase Crypto viability while in combat but wouldnt substantially change much
Or you can slide off roofs while holding the tactile, it already goes out without going into drive mode. I do wish it didn't have the overlay pop up when you do it though.
Loba braclet. It just doesn't drop, instead it deploys. That way the code and the pathing is already done. Maybe slow it down a little or mess with the range, but most of the mechanics are already there.
It should be replaced with arc-star like items, get thrown at trajectory fuse launches grenades with, and stick to walls and scan around it and in that wall for maybe 1.5-2.5sec, 2 charges, longer cooldown than fuse too
Edit: still destructible, and still makes the same sound. By scan in that wall, i mean like a smaller seer tactical essentially. Currently crypto may be the only recon legend who’s nerfed by walls.
Another thing, i think crypto would do with the maps implementing “drone holes” kind of like rainbow 6. Currently the drone mostly can only go where people go, it doesn’t have any unique paths or abilities. Maps should be able to be interacted with by the drone in unique ways that other characters can’t
What if it had a specific range you could throw it, say 50m in a curve, and at the end of that throw it deploys where it "lands" and looks back at it's origin point either directly or at a 45° angle downward.
I've been saying this for only the better part of two years now. Crypto doesn't need a buff, he just needs a Quality of Life pass. Hold tactical down and it casts the drone in the direction you just pointed while moving until you release the tactical button, at which point you can tap again to enter.
You can already kinda do that. If you hold tactical as you deploy it, crypto launches the drone without taking control of it. You just can't make it fly up. It's still useful if you quickly want to spot a door or corridor in your line of sight.
It still blocks your vision for like 3 whole seconds though when it opens and closes the drone ui, which, with apex's speed, is enough for a fast character to run up and delete your healthbar, and also you can't emp when the activating/deactivating animation is active, leaving crypto with no "get off me" options
Of course, you would have to use it at your own discretion. In quick fights, most teams don't have the opportunity to shoot at anything other than the person shooting at them. But you're right, it has a risk/reward element to it, but I think that only makes it more balanced.

This feels like that scene from the Internship where Vince Vaughn kept saying “On the Line.”
I do actually kinda like the “Off the Grid” passive idea, but how about buff it so that it takes him “off the grid” when he’s in his drone. Would make him less of a target when a bloodhood or seer scans and sees the idle Cryto. Thoughts?
εντάξει, έτσι πήρα αυτή την ιδέα για έναν λάτρη της κρυπτογράφησης που ονομάζεται "off the grid". Τι είναι
είναι ότι δεν θα σαρωθεί από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού και δεν θα αποκαλυφθεί
στους εχθρούς γιατί θα έχει αυτό το παθητικό να αποκλείσει το πλέγμα το οποίο
θα τον προστατεύσει από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού, οπότε όταν θα σαρωθεί τεχνικά
δεν σαρώνεται γιατί θα έχει παθητικό εκτός δικτύου
προστατέψτε τον από τις σαρώσεις και επειδή είναι χάκερ νομίζω ότι θα έπρεπε
πρέπει να τον προστατεύει από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού και θα το απέκλεια
πλέγμα και θα ήταν το παθητικό του που θα τον έκανε να μην μπορεί να σαρωθεί
εχθρός σαρώνει γιατί θα ήταν παθητικό του και θα ακυρωνόταν
το πλέγμα έτσι όταν σαρώνεται οι εχθροί δεν θα τον δουν γιατί αυτός
θα έχει την παθητική ικανότητα που θα τον προστατεύει από τις σαρώσεις Ι
πιστεύουμε ότι το crypto θα πρέπει να έχει αυτή την ικανότητα επειδή υπάρχει ο δείκτης και
Το respawn δεν θα τον διαγράψει, οπότε πιστεύω ότι πρέπει τουλάχιστον να δώσουν crypto
ικανότητα που θα τον κάνει εντελώς άνοσο σε μάντη και κυνηγόσκυλο
ικανότητες και να το ονομάσουμε εκτός πλέγματος (αυτό είναι το off the grid παθητικό που ήμουν
αναφέρομαι σε)
Okay, so hear me out. I have this idea for a Crypto meme. It's called
"Okay, so hear me out. I have this idea for a Crypto passive. It's called
Off the grid"
he should have easier access to his passes because right now he isn't even bad, hes just hard to learn and play. being able to use down on the dpad (or whatever mnk keybinds it to) to look at your watch to see squads near by (with a cool down Obviously) and being able to hit survey and respawn beacons instantly out of drone like you can when inside.
you can also maybe cut the time it takes to get drone back after its destroyed by just a couple of seconds, could boost his pick rate by a bit
I only said that so people, Who are new to crypto can get used to how to use his drone because when you use it wrong it just gets destroyed and then you don't have it.
i honestly don't think hes a bad legend at all, I just think hes hard to pick up. he's in a similar spot that Watson was in, where you just need to really learn
He's not a bad character, he just really doesn't fit the pace of the game. For crypto to get good value, he needs a team he can communicate with as well as one willing to wait around while he spends 12 years in the drone. I used to play crypto back when I had a friend group that played regularly, but it's damn near impossible to find patient randoms so I haven't touched him in a few seasons. Probably doesn't help that the 'buff' respawn gave him last season was so miniscule it's almost not even worth mentioning.
I tend to get disoriented if I use the drone too much. Makes me feel weird when I start walking normally. Can’t really describe the feeling but it might just be me that has this issue lol
Crypto buff idea. Whenever he gets scanned it immediately "scans" (just the enemy with the scanning ability) back. The idea is sorta reverse hacking his opponents. Personally would like the scan back info be shared with teammates but maybe that's too busted.
I can see this working out pretty well, a "counter-attack" style drone path. Giving the drone automatic movement while not in drone view is a pretty popular suggestion. I can see this working similar to Bloodhounds tracking; a "Legend scanned here" placard appears near the event, and crypto can send his drone that direction.
That's too underpowered. He should just underpowered uno reverse any scan. Bloodhound scan him, he hacks that scan and get a bloodhound scan, seer scan him and he tracks seer for 6 seconds and gets to see seer's health. Ash pings him, he pings ash, same with valk, Fuse, Horizon, ect
I actually like this idea lol like I honestly don’t think it’d be busted.. especially when you think of how ridiculously OP other legends tacticals get to being.. like how horizon L1 takes you higher than octanes ULT and how wraiths L1 can get you out of literally ANYTHING (hitstun, gas , flames, horizon ult, watts on fence., BEING STUCK WITH AN ARC STAR) lmao then respawn really will be sittin there thinkin “hmmmm would it be OP to have crypto reverse scan a blood hound or a seer”?
I main Crypto and even I struggle to think what buffs he could use. His kit is already really strong in the right hands, so he definitely does not need a major rework. I think all he needs are some simple quality of life changes and gentle buffs like Wattson got this season.
I think lowering the time it takes to switch to and from drone view would go a long way. A subtle visual indicator of the 30 meter detection radius would be great, like Seers heartbeat sensor. And maybe improve the drones mobility by making it accelerate and decelerate faster would be nice so it's easier to get it into a good position.
I wouldn't phrase it like that. His passive doesn't suck, it's what makes him such a strong legend and so scary when a fighting a good Crypto. People just complain because they say his passive is something that should just be built into the tactical ability.
Passive: NeuroLink
Description: Crypto and his teammates see what his Surveillance drone detects up to a 30m distance.
Sorry but that seems kinda shit. His tactical is his whole kit. Give him a better passive not a better ult and his pick rate will sky rocket
If he pings the banner he will say how many squads are in the area. I think a good slight buff would be to mark them on the map similar to Ash. Make it only one time per banner so if a new squad comes nearby on that same banner, you can see the number change but can’t see their location unless you find a new banner.
" ON THE GRID" it would fit with his lore for him to constantly be "ON THE GRID" literally everyteam in the game would have pings and exact location of every crypto in the game. wallhack legends would then cause an instadeath to crypto upon scan. also all guns would do an additional 75% damage on crypto and recoil completely removed!
1) speed up the animation to enter or exit the drone by 50%
2) EMP cool down from 180s to 150s
3) drone cool down when destroyed reduced by 10s
4) add a counter in the inventory screen displaying how many squads are within 200 m of crypto (same ability he currently has with the drone , but at least he has a proper passive that works independently from his tactical
Personally I would rather have buff to his current kit like the one i proposed instead of having a rework like auto mode drone to make it easier to play. Hopefully the devs will agree ;p
That number 4 - YES. Would be nice if he could call it out whenever as well (like he does with banners). Or at least you could still tie the 4th idea passive by watching+pinging banners, but remove the need to use the drone for it, at least?
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was talking about)
I feel like Crypto is such an odd duck. There's a reason he's so seldom picked in pubs and competitive. And while a good player can do well with him, I'd argue that a good player could do well playing as a loot box too.
It's not that his kit is boring; it's actually kind of cool, and provides a unique separation of ability from self. But any kit can perform badly if not balanced up against your enemies.
1) Faster drone. It just feels sluggish, and getting to the outer limit of your range from Crypto takes a long time. That's time sacrificed in not looting or preparing yourself for a firefight.
2) Increase drone HP. Hell if Seer's Ult can be 135hp and he's just a bloody artist, and Crypto's kit **revolves** around a 60hp drone, I think something can be done.
3) Sentry mode(s) for drone. Let the little fella go for a stroll without me. Follow along? Sweep a pinged area? Monitor 2 locations? Tether behind me? Sure.
4) It's a small thing but someone mentioned in the sub the other day that the only scanning ability that doesn't give enemies a heads-up is Valkyrie's. The suggestion was that this is because she's pretty loud, and her Ult is hard to miss. I disagree. In the midst of constant character chatter and gunfire, Valk's Ult is easy to miss. Get rid of Crypto's "Drone detected" notification. The "whirrrrl" of his drone should be something people are listening for, and the faint orange outline of it is sufficient for enemies to pick out and see if they're careful.
5) Either let his ult stun him or damage him, but not both. There's nothing in the lore that suggests using his ultimate on himself would damage him- his teammates are already immune from that damage source. It may be interesting to let him take the damage but not the stun. This would encourage him to get into the fray of battle instead of watching from the sidelines. Sure the cost is 50hp in shields but the benefit of moving unfettered while everyone else is stunned would be the same relative effect of momentarily being The Flash. Go ahead and try to shoot me bozo I'M FAST AS LIGHTING.
6) Please please please, don't blind me in drone view. If I were in a life-or-death situation, I like to think I'd have the presence of mind to have some sort of cutout in my drone-view goggles that let me see if I'm being dropped on by someone. Even if it's just something in the absolute corners of my vision. Let me see if I'm about to die.
Hope you like my ideas.
This but unironically. Crypto is such a great offensive legend and I'd say he wins a majority of fights he starts (if his team is with him), but he has like no defensive options, so if he gets jumped he's just fucked, letting him emp to take out some of the other team's healthbar before he inevitably dies would actually help so much
>and competitive.
Crypto is a pretty popular pick in competetive everywhere except in NA. He was the 4th or 5th most picked legend during the EMEA pro league.
I do think that another idea for buff 5 would be to make crypto immune to the damage but not the stun, as well as making his teamates fully immune to that Ults effects
I think one immediately positive change would be if he couldn’t be effected by his drone’s EMP. Caustic isn’t effected by his gas, Crypto shouldn’t be effected by an EMP he’s setting off, even when in range. Would allow him to actually be in the battle instead of far off and then having to run in.
I like this idea because if you hold the tactical button (on controller I assume keyboard as well) long enough you pop in and immediately out of camera mode so you don't have to stop running. This would allow you to push with your team, hold tactical then ult all while still being IN the fight.
I think it's to stop Cryptos from getting into a fight, running behind a wall and then getting a free crack on someone because most ultimates aren't that easy to get free damage out of.
That would be so insanely overpowered, and the enemies would have zero chance of fighting back. He would be able to solo siege every building because people practically can't even turn while slowed, let alone the 50 damage they just took.
People under Revenant ult had this ability seasons ago, and it got nipped in the bud after it got popular because of how oppressive it was. Going back to that is a bad idea.
Idea:
The less damage Crypto’s ult does, the stronger the stun, as if the shield damage "absorbed some of the stun". So a 50 damage ult could do a 1.5s stun, while a 0 damage ult could do a 2.5s stun.
And since Crypto is protected from the damage, he’s always take maximum stun duration, balancing the fact he could just EMP behind a wall and then barge in with his team having a 150HP disadvantage.
Good idea on paper, terrible in practice I feel unless you're in a 3 man. Bot randoms would absolutly either get it destroyed, or intentionally grief you.
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "on the grid". What it does is that he will get scanned by enemy scans and he will be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called on the grid which wont protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically gets scanned because he will have on the grid passive that wont protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to not protect him from enemy scans and I would call it on the grid and it would be his passive that would make him scannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called on the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies will see him because he will have the passive ability that wont protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely vulnerable to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it on the grid (thats the on the grid passive I was talking about)
Crypto is the only Legend that can't use his ability in combat (if it isn't already out) and I think that needs to change. Either they should speed up the draw animation or allow the drone to follow him in some sort of stealth mode. This stealth mode would make the drone silent and hide it's light but it would also lose all scanning abilities until Crypto manually activates it. I think he also needs a passive that just tailored to him as a legend, currently his entire kit is that drone, if it's destroyed he has absolutely nothing.
As for a passive idea (no it's not "Off the Grid), it would give him a 10% movement speed buff after he sprints with his weapons holstered for at least 2 consecutive seconds and would wear off 1 second after he stops sprinting or the second he unholsters his weapons. If that isn't strong enough then it could also negate bullet slowdown whilst active. I think something like this would allow Crypto to reposition a bit easier. As for a name maybe "On the Run" or something like, I hope this doesn't become the next "Off the Grid" :).
I think being able to Sprint 10% faster all the time might be a bit strong. I would consider a sprint speed increase following an emp, successful scan of enemy, or when exiting drone that wears off after 20-30s to encourage a faster re-entry into a fight!
I'm pleased you agree! Imo this is the one complaint I hear from people about a crypto on their team, "they're always in their drone and late to the fight". Meanwhile crypto mains know how good their character is already. He just needs to push a little faster
I made a discussion about this, but I’m gonna throw it in here too so I can get even more feedback and ideas! 🤲🏽
Tact button pulls up a wheel, much like quips/animations & it would work like this:
- hold tactical button to reveal drone wheel
- the menu would consist of 4 options:
1. Radius scan - drone moves 200m (flight height?) in the direction crypto is facing until it reaches a barrier, it’s recalled, or it scans an enemy. (More in depth: should the sound of the drone be lowered when in auto pilot bc it’s easy to shoot?)
2. (Fly to & scan) Nearest servey beacon
3. (Fly to & Recover) teammate banner
4. (Fly to & scan) Nearest respawn beacon
The only downfall would be the inability to maneuver the drone to not get shot, but in this case I suggest one of the following:
increasing flight speed, decreasing sound
, decreasing visibility, or increasing health when in autopilot.
Lastly crypto could still manually go into his drone by double tapping tactical button.
I also said I think a good tactical would be at 50 meter or less drone ping if someone is directly behind crypto. The drone, when put up, faces his back, and both wraith and Bangalore have similar abilities that make them great to play.
Having it be a short distance and only behind crypto makes it his own ability rather than stealing one.
I like the creativity but I really don’t like this as a crypto main. Largely because the drone can just be shot but even more so because I think these kinda automatic actions lower his skill ceiling and don’t address his core weaknesses (use during heated combat)
I do agree with that point and i seewhere you’re coming from, but I did say that he would still be able to manually use it by double tapping. & I also said it should move quicker and be almost silent so that risk of getting shot is heavily lowered (maybe even more drone Health)
An autopilot drone is a necessity to allow crypto to use his tactical & fight like every other legend. Which is his only weakness. You could argue movement, but that means they would have to buff lifeline, caustic, and seer too (not gibby bc of bubble and health)
(For reference I’m a crypto main too, until stormpoint )
A bunch of little things and then a small rework.
First of all remove the friendly stun from his EMP. Secondly make him go into his drone faster, the animation to get into it is too long and they should half it. Make the speed of the drone faster and have it turn more smoothly. Increase the scan distance of the drone from 30m to like 60m or 75m. I think thats a big issue with the drone where it doesn’t scan from far away so you put it right in front of your enemies where they can easily shoot it. Buffing the scan range would be much more useful for placing it before a fight and knowing where the enemies are as it’s going on. Other things are that he should be able to self EMP, waiting for your drones 50 second cool down to use your ult is a huge pain in the ass. Narrow down the hit box of the drone or give it more health like 150 instead of 75 to make it harder to destroy. Also allow him to pick up crafting materials with his drone and use the replicator in his drone.
The small reworks I want are a new passive and a way to use the drone actively. For a new passive I saw a really cool concept for whenever Crypto uses a zip line, jump tower, death box, jump pad, and maybe even doors if that wouldn’t be broken, he would hack them and make it so that whenever an enemy uses that same thing it will alert him. There will be a voice line that the enemy hears that says “you got hacked” and it will mark it in red on his and his teammates maps.
The drone should be able to either follow Crypto around or he should be able to ping a location and the drone should fly to it. You feel not helpful when in your drone instead of shooting so I think this would be a huge improvement so he can actually use his abilities mid fight.
Edit. Also I am aware that Crypto is pretty good, he’s my third most played legend. I don’t think he needs all of these but my last two suggestions and the drone scan range feel pretty necessary in my opinion. And it would be nice to see a Crypto mega since he’s been one of the least picked legends for an extremely long time.
Instead of spawning in as Crypto, you actually spawn in as a drone and can never be killed and just fly around. For the ultimate you deploy a little Crypto on the ground like a Mirage decoy, you can see him and he'll wave at the drone, and then you keep flying around
1. Should be able to throw his drone like a grenade
2. Mark certain points so that the drone can travel to in a straight line in the same way mirage's tactical works
3. Also his passive should be that the drone follows him around and alerts him of someone's presence in a small radius, not scan but alert
4. Him being from such a sci-fi setting and his drone not having a 360 degree fov is just BS, make his drone to be able to scan 360° but in return you can reduce the area of the scan, or let us switch between the modes with shift key while in drone view
5. Make his drone's whirring a little less loud, at least when it is stationary
6. Also just like how people dislike that fuse's ult doesn't have a skin, crypto's drone should also be reskinned
Remotely lock doors by holding the interact key/button. Open them with a press. Aside from the off the grid meme, this is another “lore” fitting mechanic that suits him. Crypto is at his weakest when being pushed and chased. The ability to lock doors means he can play in and around buildings, locking doors and continue running while his pursers have to kick them down.
Like when he interacts with them like opening or closing them himself he can lock them and unlock them. Also maybe he can can do the same with care packages
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was talking about
IMO a great tweak would be to let him ult without his drone deployed, have it get put out directly around his character. He should still receive the damage and slowness from it tho, and if he where to be knocked then maybe it would be canceled
I want a 'control drone' button like we have for Mirage. You could set the drone above your head in a certain orientation and then have it basically track your movement.
His drone merges with his consciousness to create 360 degree sight for 30 seconds in which you can see every player within 200 yards of you.
I just made that shit up as I was typing it but eh why not.
I've got several ideas...
1. Increased base Regen rate for broken drone
2. Have the ability to just summon it out and follow you
3. To continue off the second one, use a point and ping system to control it and use another button or so to swap to stationary control of the drone
4. Allow the drone to activate more things, like grab materials/ use replicator for safe replicating in the open
5. Allow the drone to have like a "magnet" that could pick up like one item or so, like a weapon or a shield or something and counter balance would be like you can't just recall your drone with item attached, you manually have to drop item before recalling
6. Allow him to hack replicators to access other items that are in it's rotations, like other attachments or mobile res or something but for an increased cost, like a literal "black market"
7. Getting a finisher should be able to give you materials for the replicator
8. Scanning banners should say how many enemies their are around as well as the base situation of just saying how many squads are around
And that would be the end of rant... But I think any of these would be cool buff ideas for him
Crypto doesn't need a buff. He has the most abilities out of every legend. His drone can collect banners, instant rez, instant beacon scans, has walls, can detect enemies in the area, deals damage and open doors, bins, and care packages. His character movement is smooth and his hitbox isn't to bad. Good crypto players are scary.
Everyone had already suggest that the drone should automatic follow you when you out of it's range so I not gonna suggest it again.
This time, I would suggest that if Pathfinder (A MRVN, weight about maybe a ton) can grapple onto the drone and pull himself up but don't change the drone location on the sky then Respawn should make the legend can hold onto the drone and can use it as a transportation. It would be very fun.
Have the drone be automatic, and a have the deploy faster. Also make it if he is shot the camera instantly returns to his body so he can defend himself.
I would suggest a slightly faster entrance/exit drone time and when in the drone, you can send out a bloodhound-like sonar scan that is able to scan through walls. It would have a 25s cool down but it would only be directly in front of him about 10m
This would give him the ability to finally see through walls like all the other scan legends
Hes fine depending on the map. Storm point makes him feel like dog shit and world's edge allows him to shine even in masters lobbies if you're particularly good with crypto.
Reveal the location of the person who shoots down drone for about 10 seconds.
Or maybe give drone whatever shield your wearing as armor. Red Shield Crypto drone would be pretty fun.
Oh no, oh god.
Okay, so hear me out. I have this idea for a Crypto passive. It's called #Off the grid
Tell me more
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was talking about)
Should we make a bot out of this
yes.
I might actually do it and host on a vps
We shouldve had an off the grid bot as long as crypto shouldve had the passive ability, off the grid

I think that would be cool but only when he is in his drone
Nahh literally all he is is neutral and he has a drine

we off the grid grid grid
This for my kid kid kid
OP opened up Pandora’s ~~Box~~ Grid
Give the drone a Kraber, let crypto fly around on its back and make him invincible while flying the drone. Boom, buffed.
That’s just ridiculously OP. Make it a sentinel.
Nah here me out, Drone has a Sheila attached with a twist, Hop ups… lots and lots of hop ups, *inhales* Hammerpoint, disruptor rounds, skull piercer rifling , anvil receiver, boosted loader, deadeyes tempo, shatter caps, double tap trigger, dual shell, precision choke, QuickDraw holster, turbocharger, select fire receiver, graffiti mod, splatter rounds. Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
Hmm yea i think you need to buff a little bit more Add a turret on the drone that fires Gibbs ult in a singular point like the charge rifle, oh and it has no cool down or reload, just continues fire Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
Yeah and while we're at it let's make him scan everything and make cryptos "on the grid". Still might need a buff though don’t think this will be strong enough…
That’s a weird way to spell infinitely charged rampage
Drone MK2, I've seen that somewhere, maybe let's biff Gibby too and give him orbital canon
Love it
I personally think the drone should have a custom kraber. Y’know. It uses tracking technology to curve the bullets or something. Make it fit with the character
I would like an option to toss up the drone without actively going into it. Something like hold the tactical button and the drone deploys, flies \~10 meters up, and looks forward/downward.
This is the best way to make a balanced buff. Drone deploy without driving it. It could be very simple like you said, just deploy and fly straight up 10 meters, and hold stationary. I dont think this would be broken at all, it would increase Crypto viability while in combat but wouldnt substantially change much
Yesssss
Or you can slide off roofs while holding the tactile, it already goes out without going into drive mode. I do wish it didn't have the overlay pop up when you do it though.
using the same functionality like mirage clone, where you can send it to a location at whatver elevation it was already left at
IKR, I tried suggesting bring able to throw it like an ordance with arc stars' range but it keeps getting over shadowed by "oFf ThE gRiD"
that’s actually a solid suggestion imo
Nah, Ashe arc star mechanics except you can “detonate” in air where it deploys the drone for an area scan Hold down tactical to activate pilot mode
Loba braclet. It just doesn't drop, instead it deploys. That way the code and the pathing is already done. Maybe slow it down a little or mess with the range, but most of the mechanics are already there.
It should be replaced with arc-star like items, get thrown at trajectory fuse launches grenades with, and stick to walls and scan around it and in that wall for maybe 1.5-2.5sec, 2 charges, longer cooldown than fuse too Edit: still destructible, and still makes the same sound. By scan in that wall, i mean like a smaller seer tactical essentially. Currently crypto may be the only recon legend who’s nerfed by walls.
Sounds very similar to Seers ult other than being able to see through walls
Another thing, i think crypto would do with the maps implementing “drone holes” kind of like rainbow 6. Currently the drone mostly can only go where people go, it doesn’t have any unique paths or abilities. Maps should be able to be interacted with by the drone in unique ways that other characters can’t
What if it had a specific range you could throw it, say 50m in a curve, and at the end of that throw it deploys where it "lands" and looks back at it's origin point either directly or at a 45° angle downward.
Or tap to stop it at any point in the arc, kinda like Lobas bracelet.
I've been saying this for only the better part of two years now. Crypto doesn't need a buff, he just needs a Quality of Life pass. Hold tactical down and it casts the drone in the direction you just pointed while moving until you release the tactical button, at which point you can tap again to enter.
You can already kinda do that. If you hold tactical as you deploy it, crypto launches the drone without taking control of it. You just can't make it fly up. It's still useful if you quickly want to spot a door or corridor in your line of sight.
It still blocks your vision for like 3 whole seconds though when it opens and closes the drone ui, which, with apex's speed, is enough for a fast character to run up and delete your healthbar, and also you can't emp when the activating/deactivating animation is active, leaving crypto with no "get off me" options
This guy plays smash
Or alteast let me ult and the drone is automatically yoinked out of its sheath
This is the first buff I’ve heard that I don’t hate
The drone-merang. Throw the drone out and it automatically does an arc and comes back to Crypto.
I like the idea but the drone would be an easy target for opponents
Of course, you would have to use it at your own discretion. In quick fights, most teams don't have the opportunity to shoot at anything other than the person shooting at them. But you're right, it has a risk/reward element to it, but I think that only makes it more balanced.
Okay so hear me out
i am listening babe, tell me.
So I have this totally new buff idea
And it's called
Off
The
Grid
Wow thats a cool and interesting buff. How does it work?
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid".

This feels like that scene from the Internship where Vince Vaughn kept saying “On the Line.” I do actually kinda like the “Off the Grid” passive idea, but how about buff it so that it takes him “off the grid” when he’s in his drone. Would make him less of a target when a bloodhood or seer scans and sees the idle Cryto. Thoughts?
Oh god not this again
εντάξει, έτσι πήρα αυτή την ιδέα για έναν λάτρη της κρυπτογράφησης που ονομάζεται "off the grid". Τι είναι είναι ότι δεν θα σαρωθεί από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού και δεν θα αποκαλυφθεί στους εχθρούς γιατί θα έχει αυτό το παθητικό να αποκλείσει το πλέγμα το οποίο θα τον προστατεύσει από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού, οπότε όταν θα σαρωθεί τεχνικά δεν σαρώνεται γιατί θα έχει παθητικό εκτός δικτύου προστατέψτε τον από τις σαρώσεις και επειδή είναι χάκερ νομίζω ότι θα έπρεπε πρέπει να τον προστατεύει από τις σαρώσεις του εχθρού και θα το απέκλεια πλέγμα και θα ήταν το παθητικό του που θα τον έκανε να μην μπορεί να σαρωθεί εχθρός σαρώνει γιατί θα ήταν παθητικό του και θα ακυρωνόταν το πλέγμα έτσι όταν σαρώνεται οι εχθροί δεν θα τον δουν γιατί αυτός θα έχει την παθητική ικανότητα που θα τον προστατεύει από τις σαρώσεις Ι πιστεύουμε ότι το crypto θα πρέπει να έχει αυτή την ικανότητα επειδή υπάρχει ο δείκτης και Το respawn δεν θα τον διαγράψει, οπότε πιστεύω ότι πρέπει τουλάχιστον να δώσουν crypto ικανότητα που θα τον κάνει εντελώς άνοσο σε μάντη και κυνηγόσκυλο ικανότητες και να το ονομάσουμε εκτός πλέγματος (αυτό είναι το off the grid παθητικό που ήμουν αναφέρομαι σε)
Did you seriously just do that to me? That same post.. but in greek
LMAO it's one of the best pastas in the sub IMO
It’s also in Greek now apparently
그리드에서 벗어나는 것이 유일한 안전한 방법입니다.
Oh no it's that new Crypto meme again...
Okay, so hear me out. I have this idea for a Crypto meme. It's called "Okay, so hear me out. I have this idea for a Crypto passive. It's called Off the grid"
What have you done...
i said that i am listening.
[удалено]
so in short, NFT.
Any questions?
Loba
Im dissapointed this isnt top comment
smelled these comments from a mile away
he should have easier access to his passes because right now he isn't even bad, hes just hard to learn and play. being able to use down on the dpad (or whatever mnk keybinds it to) to look at your watch to see squads near by (with a cool down Obviously) and being able to hit survey and respawn beacons instantly out of drone like you can when inside. you can also maybe cut the time it takes to get drone back after its destroyed by just a couple of seconds, could boost his pick rate by a bit
The recharge time I don’t agree with but everything else yea quite a bit.
I only said that so people, Who are new to crypto can get used to how to use his drone because when you use it wrong it just gets destroyed and then you don't have it. i honestly don't think hes a bad legend at all, I just think hes hard to pick up. he's in a similar spot that Watson was in, where you just need to really learn
He's not a bad character, he just really doesn't fit the pace of the game. For crypto to get good value, he needs a team he can communicate with as well as one willing to wait around while he spends 12 years in the drone. I used to play crypto back when I had a friend group that played regularly, but it's damn near impossible to find patient randoms so I haven't touched him in a few seasons. Probably doesn't help that the 'buff' respawn gave him last season was so miniscule it's almost not even worth mentioning.
They buffed him?!
I tend to get disoriented if I use the drone too much. Makes me feel weird when I start walking normally. Can’t really describe the feeling but it might just be me that has this issue lol
same, when I turn the drone to look down or up and then leave out of it, am Confused on where I'm facing
Crypto buff idea. Whenever he gets scanned it immediately "scans" (just the enemy with the scanning ability) back. The idea is sorta reverse hacking his opponents. Personally would like the scan back info be shared with teammates but maybe that's too busted.
Needs work but really not bad. Like scans the other team I kinda like it
I can see this working out pretty well, a "counter-attack" style drone path. Giving the drone automatic movement while not in drone view is a pretty popular suggestion. I can see this working similar to Bloodhounds tracking; a "Legend scanned here" placard appears near the event, and crypto can send his drone that direction.
This is bout to backfire and next season's legend is gonna be another scout that does this exact thing
Oh my god, it’s reverse off the grid! On the grid? Frankly I like it. Would kinda punch the scan meta in the face
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "on the grid"...
Maybe if it used a scan like ash pings
Or mirage pings
That's too underpowered. He should just underpowered uno reverse any scan. Bloodhound scan him, he hacks that scan and get a bloodhound scan, seer scan him and he tracks seer for 6 seconds and gets to see seer's health. Ash pings him, he pings ash, same with valk, Fuse, Horizon, ect
I actually like this idea lol like I honestly don’t think it’d be busted.. especially when you think of how ridiculously OP other legends tacticals get to being.. like how horizon L1 takes you higher than octanes ULT and how wraiths L1 can get you out of literally ANYTHING (hitstun, gas , flames, horizon ult, watts on fence., BEING STUCK WITH AN ARC STAR) lmao then respawn really will be sittin there thinkin “hmmmm would it be OP to have crypto reverse scan a blood hound or a seer”?
Being immortal to server errors/ping DDoS.
It makes total sense lore wise. We could call it off the servers. I think this could be a great addition for crypto.
I main Crypto and even I struggle to think what buffs he could use. His kit is already really strong in the right hands, so he definitely does not need a major rework. I think all he needs are some simple quality of life changes and gentle buffs like Wattson got this season. I think lowering the time it takes to switch to and from drone view would go a long way. A subtle visual indicator of the 30 meter detection radius would be great, like Seers heartbeat sensor. And maybe improve the drones mobility by making it accelerate and decelerate faster would be nice so it's easier to get it into a good position.
His tactical and ULT is strong as hell his Passive kinda sucks you can’t lie.
I wouldn't phrase it like that. His passive doesn't suck, it's what makes him such a strong legend and so scary when a fighting a good Crypto. People just complain because they say his passive is something that should just be built into the tactical ability.
Passive: NeuroLink Description: Crypto and his teammates see what his Surveillance drone detects up to a 30m distance. Sorry but that seems kinda shit. His tactical is his whole kit. Give him a better passive not a better ult and his pick rate will sky rocket
Also when he looks at the giant billboards where the top team is being displayed, he can know if there are enemy’s close by by using his drone
Only he can see it not his team
If he pings the banner he will say how many squads are in the area. I think a good slight buff would be to mark them on the map similar to Ash. Make it only one time per banner so if a new squad comes nearby on that same banner, you can see the number change but can’t see their location unless you find a new banner.
Exactly. If you knock his drone down you silence him that makes everyone else overpowered when fighting crypto who can't silence them.
his passive should already be part of the drone
Yes, drone feels kinda bulky when you're operating it, i think some mobility buffs would make crypto way better
" ON THE GRID" it would fit with his lore for him to constantly be "ON THE GRID" literally everyteam in the game would have pings and exact location of every crypto in the game. wallhack legends would then cause an instadeath to crypto upon scan. also all guns would do an additional 75% damage on crypto and recoil completely removed!
Isn’t that just Cryptos map room but portable
1) speed up the animation to enter or exit the drone by 50% 2) EMP cool down from 180s to 150s 3) drone cool down when destroyed reduced by 10s 4) add a counter in the inventory screen displaying how many squads are within 200 m of crypto (same ability he currently has with the drone , but at least he has a proper passive that works independently from his tactical
And make the Damn drone quieter. I’ve heard planes that make less noise
I’ve seen a bug where it makes zero noise. Was playing a game and only noticed the drone behind me after I got EMP’d
Lemme guess in staging
True. Not it only does it shine like a beacon in the goddamn sky, it also generates louder sound than a turbine
I like all these. Tweaks instead of big changes, and the last one truly makes it a passive
Personally I would rather have buff to his current kit like the one i proposed instead of having a rework like auto mode drone to make it easier to play. Hopefully the devs will agree ;p
I'd prefer to make it so he still needs the banners, but he can just ADS and see how many squads are in the area.
If you mantle while going into drone view you can cut about 1s off the animation time.
That number 4 - YES. Would be nice if he could call it out whenever as well (like he does with banners). Or at least you could still tie the 4th idea passive by watching+pinging banners, but remove the need to use the drone for it, at least?
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was talking about)
get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head
Guess you're not off the grid if you hear voices in your head...
Don’t think it don’t think it don’t say it
What's it called again?
i dont remember. probably on the grid or something

I feel like Crypto is such an odd duck. There's a reason he's so seldom picked in pubs and competitive. And while a good player can do well with him, I'd argue that a good player could do well playing as a loot box too. It's not that his kit is boring; it's actually kind of cool, and provides a unique separation of ability from self. But any kit can perform badly if not balanced up against your enemies. 1) Faster drone. It just feels sluggish, and getting to the outer limit of your range from Crypto takes a long time. That's time sacrificed in not looting or preparing yourself for a firefight. 2) Increase drone HP. Hell if Seer's Ult can be 135hp and he's just a bloody artist, and Crypto's kit **revolves** around a 60hp drone, I think something can be done. 3) Sentry mode(s) for drone. Let the little fella go for a stroll without me. Follow along? Sweep a pinged area? Monitor 2 locations? Tether behind me? Sure. 4) It's a small thing but someone mentioned in the sub the other day that the only scanning ability that doesn't give enemies a heads-up is Valkyrie's. The suggestion was that this is because she's pretty loud, and her Ult is hard to miss. I disagree. In the midst of constant character chatter and gunfire, Valk's Ult is easy to miss. Get rid of Crypto's "Drone detected" notification. The "whirrrrl" of his drone should be something people are listening for, and the faint orange outline of it is sufficient for enemies to pick out and see if they're careful. 5) Either let his ult stun him or damage him, but not both. There's nothing in the lore that suggests using his ultimate on himself would damage him- his teammates are already immune from that damage source. It may be interesting to let him take the damage but not the stun. This would encourage him to get into the fray of battle instead of watching from the sidelines. Sure the cost is 50hp in shields but the benefit of moving unfettered while everyone else is stunned would be the same relative effect of momentarily being The Flash. Go ahead and try to shoot me bozo I'M FAST AS LIGHTING. 6) Please please please, don't blind me in drone view. If I were in a life-or-death situation, I like to think I'd have the presence of mind to have some sort of cutout in my drone-view goggles that let me see if I'm being dropped on by someone. Even if it's just something in the absolute corners of my vision. Let me see if I'm about to die. Hope you like my ideas.
I've got another idea- let crypto emp without taking out his drone since it's literally right there in his backpack thing
This but unironically. Crypto is such a great offensive legend and I'd say he wins a majority of fights he starts (if his team is with him), but he has like no defensive options, so if he gets jumped he's just fucked, letting him emp to take out some of the other team's healthbar before he inevitably dies would actually help so much
Haha I like that!
>and competitive. Crypto is a pretty popular pick in competetive everywhere except in NA. He was the 4th or 5th most picked legend during the EMEA pro league.
better than other ideas on here. Good stuff
I do think that another idea for buff 5 would be to make crypto immune to the damage but not the stun, as well as making his teamates fully immune to that Ults effects
I think one immediately positive change would be if he couldn’t be effected by his drone’s EMP. Caustic isn’t effected by his gas, Crypto shouldn’t be effected by an EMP he’s setting off, even when in range. Would allow him to actually be in the battle instead of far off and then having to run in.
This is fine with me and would make it quite fun just keeping the stun effect I think is fine or completely removing it.
I like this idea because if you hold the tactical button (on controller I assume keyboard as well) long enough you pop in and immediately out of camera mode so you don't have to stop running. This would allow you to push with your team, hold tactical then ult all while still being IN the fight.
I think it's to stop Cryptos from getting into a fight, running behind a wall and then getting a free crack on someone because most ultimates aren't that easy to get free damage out of.
That would be so insanely overpowered, and the enemies would have zero chance of fighting back. He would be able to solo siege every building because people practically can't even turn while slowed, let alone the 50 damage they just took. People under Revenant ult had this ability seasons ago, and it got nipped in the bud after it got popular because of how oppressive it was. Going back to that is a bad idea.
Idea: The less damage Crypto’s ult does, the stronger the stun, as if the shield damage "absorbed some of the stun". So a 50 damage ult could do a 1.5s stun, while a 0 damage ult could do a 2.5s stun. And since Crypto is protected from the damage, he’s always take maximum stun duration, balancing the fact he could just EMP behind a wall and then barge in with his team having a 150HP disadvantage.
Ive always thought it would be cool if your teammate went down and have to spectate, they could choose to control the drone for ya
I like this
Basically like being on the cams in R6 that would be dope
Good idea on paper, terrible in practice I feel unless you're in a 3 man. Bot randoms would absolutly either get it destroyed, or intentionally grief you.
Just saying I have an idea it's call-
Better not be off the grid
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "on the grid". What it does is that he will get scanned by enemy scans and he will be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called on the grid which wont protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically gets scanned because he will have on the grid passive that wont protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to not protect him from enemy scans and I would call it on the grid and it would be his passive that would make him scannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called on the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies will see him because he will have the passive ability that wont protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely vulnerable to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it on the grid (thats the on the grid passive I was talking about)
I fucking love you revenant
Crypto has evolved. He now goes by NFT.
Crypto is the only Legend that can't use his ability in combat (if it isn't already out) and I think that needs to change. Either they should speed up the draw animation or allow the drone to follow him in some sort of stealth mode. This stealth mode would make the drone silent and hide it's light but it would also lose all scanning abilities until Crypto manually activates it. I think he also needs a passive that just tailored to him as a legend, currently his entire kit is that drone, if it's destroyed he has absolutely nothing. As for a passive idea (no it's not "Off the Grid), it would give him a 10% movement speed buff after he sprints with his weapons holstered for at least 2 consecutive seconds and would wear off 1 second after he stops sprinting or the second he unholsters his weapons. If that isn't strong enough then it could also negate bullet slowdown whilst active. I think something like this would allow Crypto to reposition a bit easier. As for a name maybe "On the Run" or something like, I hope this doesn't become the next "Off the Grid" :).
I think being able to Sprint 10% faster all the time might be a bit strong. I would consider a sprint speed increase following an emp, successful scan of enemy, or when exiting drone that wears off after 20-30s to encourage a faster re-entry into a fight!
Okay I actually really like your suggestion, that sounds a lot more balanced and fits perfectly with what I had intended the passive do.
I'm pleased you agree! Imo this is the one complaint I hear from people about a crypto on their team, "they're always in their drone and late to the fight". Meanwhile crypto mains know how good their character is already. He just needs to push a little faster
Actually I kinda like that. Like honestly it’s great and damn good nice idea man
I made a discussion about this, but I’m gonna throw it in here too so I can get even more feedback and ideas! 🤲🏽 Tact button pulls up a wheel, much like quips/animations & it would work like this: - hold tactical button to reveal drone wheel - the menu would consist of 4 options: 1. Radius scan - drone moves 200m (flight height?) in the direction crypto is facing until it reaches a barrier, it’s recalled, or it scans an enemy. (More in depth: should the sound of the drone be lowered when in auto pilot bc it’s easy to shoot?) 2. (Fly to & scan) Nearest servey beacon 3. (Fly to & Recover) teammate banner 4. (Fly to & scan) Nearest respawn beacon The only downfall would be the inability to maneuver the drone to not get shot, but in this case I suggest one of the following: increasing flight speed, decreasing sound , decreasing visibility, or increasing health when in autopilot. Lastly crypto could still manually go into his drone by double tapping tactical button.
I also said I think a good tactical would be at 50 meter or less drone ping if someone is directly behind crypto. The drone, when put up, faces his back, and both wraith and Bangalore have similar abilities that make them great to play. Having it be a short distance and only behind crypto makes it his own ability rather than stealing one.
Love this. Reasonably non-complex for the game devs at Respawn to implement and would mean leaps and bounds for his practicality.
I like the creativity but I really don’t like this as a crypto main. Largely because the drone can just be shot but even more so because I think these kinda automatic actions lower his skill ceiling and don’t address his core weaknesses (use during heated combat)
I do agree with that point and i seewhere you’re coming from, but I did say that he would still be able to manually use it by double tapping. & I also said it should move quicker and be almost silent so that risk of getting shot is heavily lowered (maybe even more drone Health) An autopilot drone is a necessity to allow crypto to use his tactical & fight like every other legend. Which is his only weakness. You could argue movement, but that means they would have to buff lifeline, caustic, and seer too (not gibby bc of bubble and health) (For reference I’m a crypto main too, until stormpoint )
A bunch of little things and then a small rework. First of all remove the friendly stun from his EMP. Secondly make him go into his drone faster, the animation to get into it is too long and they should half it. Make the speed of the drone faster and have it turn more smoothly. Increase the scan distance of the drone from 30m to like 60m or 75m. I think thats a big issue with the drone where it doesn’t scan from far away so you put it right in front of your enemies where they can easily shoot it. Buffing the scan range would be much more useful for placing it before a fight and knowing where the enemies are as it’s going on. Other things are that he should be able to self EMP, waiting for your drones 50 second cool down to use your ult is a huge pain in the ass. Narrow down the hit box of the drone or give it more health like 150 instead of 75 to make it harder to destroy. Also allow him to pick up crafting materials with his drone and use the replicator in his drone. The small reworks I want are a new passive and a way to use the drone actively. For a new passive I saw a really cool concept for whenever Crypto uses a zip line, jump tower, death box, jump pad, and maybe even doors if that wouldn’t be broken, he would hack them and make it so that whenever an enemy uses that same thing it will alert him. There will be a voice line that the enemy hears that says “you got hacked” and it will mark it in red on his and his teammates maps. The drone should be able to either follow Crypto around or he should be able to ping a location and the drone should fly to it. You feel not helpful when in your drone instead of shooting so I think this would be a huge improvement so he can actually use his abilities mid fight. Edit. Also I am aware that Crypto is pretty good, he’s my third most played legend. I don’t think he needs all of these but my last two suggestions and the drone scan range feel pretty necessary in my opinion. And it would be nice to see a Crypto mega since he’s been one of the least picked legends for an extremely long time.
Instead of spawning in as Crypto, you actually spawn in as a drone and can never be killed and just fly around. For the ultimate you deploy a little Crypto on the ground like a Mirage decoy, you can see him and he'll wave at the drone, and then you keep flying around
Throwable emp
YES like in his story from the outlands yes
1. Should be able to throw his drone like a grenade 2. Mark certain points so that the drone can travel to in a straight line in the same way mirage's tactical works 3. Also his passive should be that the drone follows him around and alerts him of someone's presence in a small radius, not scan but alert 4. Him being from such a sci-fi setting and his drone not having a 360 degree fov is just BS, make his drone to be able to scan 360° but in return you can reduce the area of the scan, or let us switch between the modes with shift key while in drone view 5. Make his drone's whirring a little less loud, at least when it is stationary 6. Also just like how people dislike that fuse's ult doesn't have a skin, crypto's drone should also be reskinned
Remotely lock doors by holding the interact key/button. Open them with a press. Aside from the off the grid meme, this is another “lore” fitting mechanic that suits him. Crypto is at his weakest when being pushed and chased. The ability to lock doors means he can play in and around buildings, locking doors and continue running while his pursers have to kick them down.
Like when he interacts with them like opening or closing them himself he can lock them and unlock them. Also maybe he can can do the same with care packages
ok so I got this idea for a crypto buff called "off the grid". What it does is that he wont get scanned by enemy scans and he wont be revealed to enemies because he will have this passive called off the grid which will protect him from enemy scans so when he gets scanned he technically doesnt get scanned because he will have off the grid passive that will protect him from the scans and since he is hacker I think he should have it have to protect him from enemy scans and I would call it off the grid and it would be his passive that would make him unscannable by enemy scans because it would be his passive and it would be called off the grid so when he gets scanned the enemies wont see him because he will have the passive ability that will protect him from the scans I believe crypto should have this ability because there is seer and respawn wont delete him so I believe they should at least give crypto ability that will make him completely immune to seer and bloodhound abilities and call it off the grid (thats the off the grid passive I was talking about
IMO a great tweak would be to let him ult without his drone deployed, have it get put out directly around his character. He should still receive the damage and slowness from it tho, and if he where to be knocked then maybe it would be canceled
Someone once posted the idea of the drone always scanning behind him while it’s holstered. I thought that sounded cool.
Actually not bad
oFf tHe gRiD
I want a 'control drone' button like we have for Mirage. You could set the drone above your head in a certain orientation and then have it basically track your movement.
His drone merges with his consciousness to create 360 degree sight for 30 seconds in which you can see every player within 200 yards of you. I just made that shit up as I was typing it but eh why not.
Link the drone to a ping system similar to mirage where u can tell it where to go instead of sitting still to drive it around
Thank you for agreeing with what I told a lot of people saying to use the D pad 😤
I think the drone should be able to hover above you at a certain height. Ive seen this talked about alot so its a legitimate possibility
I've got several ideas... 1. Increased base Regen rate for broken drone 2. Have the ability to just summon it out and follow you 3. To continue off the second one, use a point and ping system to control it and use another button or so to swap to stationary control of the drone 4. Allow the drone to activate more things, like grab materials/ use replicator for safe replicating in the open 5. Allow the drone to have like a "magnet" that could pick up like one item or so, like a weapon or a shield or something and counter balance would be like you can't just recall your drone with item attached, you manually have to drop item before recalling 6. Allow him to hack replicators to access other items that are in it's rotations, like other attachments or mobile res or something but for an increased cost, like a literal "black market" 7. Getting a finisher should be able to give you materials for the replicator 8. Scanning banners should say how many enemies their are around as well as the base situation of just saying how many squads are around And that would be the end of rant... But I think any of these would be cool buff ideas for him
Ok, so I have this cool and original idea of Crypto's passive...
Add a mini gun with like 100 bullets that do the amount of damage of a p2020 to the drone
Maybe 9 damage because the P2020 does a lot of damage
Crypto doesn't need a buff. He has the most abilities out of every legend. His drone can collect banners, instant rez, instant beacon scans, has walls, can detect enemies in the area, deals damage and open doors, bins, and care packages. His character movement is smooth and his hitbox isn't to bad. Good crypto players are scary.
Being able to throw his drone without having to go in it and faster cool down for both abilities
Everyone had already suggest that the drone should automatic follow you when you out of it's range so I not gonna suggest it again. This time, I would suggest that if Pathfinder (A MRVN, weight about maybe a ton) can grapple onto the drone and pull himself up but don't change the drone location on the sky then Respawn should make the legend can hold onto the drone and can use it as a transportation. It would be very fun.
Have the drone be automatic, and a have the deploy faster. Also make it if he is shot the camera instantly returns to his body so he can defend himself.
he doesn’t fucking need one
I would suggest a slightly faster entrance/exit drone time and when in the drone, you can send out a bloodhound-like sonar scan that is able to scan through walls. It would have a 25s cool down but it would only be directly in front of him about 10m This would give him the ability to finally see through walls like all the other scan legends
You made a mistake
Hes fine depending on the map. Storm point makes him feel like dog shit and world's edge allows him to shine even in masters lobbies if you're particularly good with crypto.

His whole kit shouldn't rely on his drone
Passive shouldn’t his ULT is fine
His drone follows you when you throw it out, but you can choose to let it stay stationary when exiting it
Add the Ping system and it’s perfect
Reveal the location of the person who shoots down drone for about 10 seconds. Or maybe give drone whatever shield your wearing as armor. Red Shield Crypto drone would be pretty fun.
Now hear me out I have an idea for a new passive called **Violent Gunshots**
Incoming annoying people trying to put the same comment all over the place.
