It was 60 drone health, not 70 :D?

[@BlazeNarutoShippuden]

was about to type this lol

[@teaman1275]

Honestly although it's awesome to be able to throw the drone out my favourite changes are those to the HUD i didn't realise how little information you had while in your drone until seeing this.

[@jessie06_]

Literally this! I’ve mained Crypto since forever and I’ve always been talking about better HUD changes. The new changes don’t overcluster the screen and is actually useful information! Lovin the new changes, I’ve started to notice how insanely aggressive I can be with the drone deploying and flying on its own, it’s amazing!

[@diegopuente8309]

@@jessie06_ yeahhh, maybe more changes come when the heairloom comes out

[@sergman94]

There's only ONE complaint i have of the new drone hud. The mini map is stationary, but things like the next ring will rotate with you. So you'll have weird instances where you see the current rings position, and you spin the drone and the next rings position will spin with it, causing the next ring and the current ring to overlap on the map lol As a Crypto main tho, these changes are SO welcome, but lowering the skill floor for him a tiny bit will def increase his pick rate, causing people to be WAY more ready to shoot a crypto drone lol

[@lj6772]

Yeah but the drone has like no health now and still a year worth of cooldown so

[@cameronlozier4809]

I found that one of the most useful ways to use him is like mirage. Throw the drone when you're leaving cover or pushing someone and they have to decide to either shiot you or the drone. Either they waste ammo or you get free scans

[@kevinm1052]

Exactly, in control i always send the drone to scout beyond a corner and if it scans an enemy you can basically prefire the guy without mercy

[@festusfive9157]

Not really that useful, especially against good players. Good players wont give a damn about the drone and either way you cant take out your gun again until the drone has basically stopped moving and reached its 20m destination. This renders a surprise peak impossible.

Small correction: the old drone HP was 60. It just took 70 to kill because the 301 does 14 damage per bullet, and 56+14=70. You would need something that did some factor of 60 to verify this.

[@bencastellucci8823]

You know the passive idea *off the grid* Would actually be a cool crypto buff.

[@JupiterKnight]

reddit moment

[@cloberlobster2276]

@@JupiterKnight is the idea from reddit?

[@nightslayerofficial2427]

Don’t believe it is, but Reddit made that buff a meme because everyone was saying it. For example: someone commented I’ve a cool idea for a crypto buff. Someone else replied to that about that he has an idea for a crypto buff called off the grid and explains a whole bible about what that passive is going to do. This happened like 20 times on different posts with different people (as far as I’ve seen)

[@Peramiiy]

That "off the grid" passive is one of the dumbest ideas, especially for ranked. Crypto wont be scanned but your team will be so people will see that its only a duo and ape your team. Also that means his passive relies on only 3 out of 20 legends using their tactical which is dumb. 2 recons: Seer & Crypto has a 2% pickrate and in pubs bloodhounds dont even use their scans. Also that means Crypto's drone cant scan other cryptos Lmao. Good thing Respawn dont take ideas from the smooth brains at reddit :)

[@cloberlobster2276]

@@Peramiiy it isn't dumb, you just listed some of the positive. 1. If a team tries to be braindead kill hungry streamer wannabes, they'll jump them thinking it's a duo, and they'll be ambushed. 2. Many legends already have the ability to nullify other legends, Watson against fuze, rev against everyone, ash's tactical prevents octane from running and valks from flying, so stopping someone from scanning you isn't far fetched. 3. So what if theirs only 3 legends dedicated to it, fuze can still scan, so can Maggie, and so can mirage (albeit a ping), it's not like it won't have a use, crypto will just be immune to it. 4. They're is litterly nothing wrong with not scanning other cryptos, that just means his passive is working. Seriously, your main complaint with this passive is that you believe not being able to scan a legend is unfair, even though said legend has a low oickrate, isn't mobility, who's tactical can be deactivated (drone destroyed) and to top it all off, it's just one legend, it's not like his whole squad is immune.

[@bamboozled614]

I remember watching your stuff when you were still small, it's nice to see you're getting the attention you deserve, well done dude

[@skullies3580]

But i hope he gets a passive soon and i have a good idea for it So basically I had an idea where crypto has a passive called "off the grid" basically it makes it so that when crypto gets scanned he doesn't get scanned and it makes it so he isn't seen when he gets scanned. That way when bloodhond and seer scan him he won't get scanned so that they can't see him cause he's "off the grid" it would be balanced cause he normally gets scanned but now he doesn't get scanned cause he's "off the grid" so it would be lore fitting and it would be a good gameplay mechanic and off the grid would be a good idea and they should add it to the game for crypto so that his new passive is called off the grid. I had this idea then everyone started talking about my idea because i came up with off the grid where crypto doesn't get scanned cause in the lore hes off the grid and since hes off the grid he cant be scanned while off the grid

[@childish8190]

this rework is alright in certain situations but tbh i feel crypto will still be one of the least used legends and i feel these changes won’t help him as much as ppl hope. ppl bring up it being good when you use your drone as bait saying “they either shoot me or the drone” but with olympus back, third parties happen a lot more often than other maps so using your drone as bait and getting it destroyed would not be the most optimal play. i feel the throw range is just not enough. i know they said they didn’t want to do too much to him to where he’s op but there was a lot of concepts actually made that definitely could’ve benefited him more without it being op. but since it’s still early hoping to see some sick stuff with this change and hope to be able to get the most out of this rework

[@suhasop4919]

Crypto can be helpful predicting a 3rd party. He just doesn't fit the fast pace fights of Apex. You need a really good team for him to be viable. I get screamed a lot when my Octane jumpads into a fight and dies without a knock on the enemy team. It's better to have a team that knows when to fight and when not to

[@dragonwarrior5159]

Great video, scan FOV buff is a huge change that people are underrating

[@Nicholas_Lim]

It would be nice if you put side by side comparisons/timers for the new actions especially the emp, seems significantly slower.

[@aydenr5467]

I did notice that going into drone view seemed a fraction slower. However I haven't really played crypto for like 6 seasons.

[@user-yl4lf5ix4g]

Now all he needs is an EMP radius indicator when ult is charged or make him send his drone 30 metres instead of just 22 so its easy to guess the radius of the emp. He needs more quality of life additions like that.

[@undeniablynotaustin4569]

I think they should have added a tiny screen for the drone showing what the crypto is actually seeing so he has some sort of vision when using his drone.

[@Lucifer-yl3wy]

They really didn't buff him. By the way you could EMP outside your drone in season 11 as well. They gave him like one buff, one or two quality changes that just should have been there, and like 3 nerfs. Plus I like the old way of holding to throw the drone and tapping to enter. It is so slow now to get into the drone. Go back to tap to enter and hold to throw or add option to change like valkyrie's jets.

[@hcfgaming401]

Anyone else look at this as a Nerf? -The drone is way louder when deployed and brighter -It has less HP -If you move to cover while throwing the drone and move outside of the 25m before it reaches it's location it bugs out and teleports to crypto -You can no longer have the drone come out on top of yourself which is essential in high tier ranked when you can't just have the drone flying in a straight line. -every scan legend is 75 meters and cryptos is a measley 25m. There are dozen of locations where you can't even reach the drone to opposite walls of building that your currently in, and if it does reach it bugs out and teleports back to you because you move 2m to the left and went outside of the 25m before it got there.. I can see how lower ranked players are really liking this, but in terms of high rank gameplay this is a huge Nerf to him. Situations where he used to shine he can no longer perform in, and situations where he can perform in now is very limited to the obnoxious sound it makes, less HP, and short range. It hoenstly shows that the same person who did Watsons buff did his and it's disappointing.

There are literal professional players telling people it's a massive buff. I really don't know what you're on about.

I'll have to play him more in BR mode, but so far I would say this is definitely not the buff people were asking for and it's barely a buff as is. His drone needs some sort of follow mode other wise he is outclassed by the other recon characters. Even if the follow mode only lasted for 20 seconds and had a cool down. I like the character but he's a chore to use compared to everyone else.

[@Karma-cp5fc]

[@Kenji_Kun13]

I knew something just felt weird with him , i didnt realize the drone hp was nerf and not being able to detect ppl when its recalling. On top of that the bug where the drone sometimes gets stuck between your body and a wall is still in the game and trying to use the drone manually now feels slower than before (probably cause on top of the slow animation to get in the drone u now have to hold the button for a additional second). I love the small things like a bigger FOV and finally having info like the killfeed and minimap on the drone but overall i feel like this isnt a "buff" but more of a rework. With that in mine I feel like I have play Crypto completely different than then I had to past seasons .

Honestly, this is a good patch for Crypto! One trick I came up with is to set an EMP trap while on the run. Find some cover, drop the drone, then keep running, and activate the EMP. Your foes might just walk into it! Either your squad can push or you buy yourself time to escape.

But on crypto, it moves. I dont know if its only on drop or can still be used when you use the jump tower. But hey, we have a "existing" crypto passive XD

As an ex Crypto main I'm back to playing him and I'm enjoying the changes.

I don't love the drone deploy animation though, it's quite clunky and I think they need to give him a new one, though with how game dev works I doubt they can do it... The drone HP nerf is also bizarre to me especially without reducing the cooldown. Other than that, the HUD changes and FoV are amazing. I still think he needs a proper passive to be viable for casuals, though. He's still nothing without the drone.

small correction: pre-S12 drone had 60HP, not 70

[@SolidRazo]

I personally think the caustic change is good having invincible barrels that just stay there is dumb and it never really made sense to me why a gas barrel was invincible and it also makes it easier to actually get into buildings without a fucking immovable object in your way BUT that being said I do feel his gas should be stronger to make up for the lack of obstacle it should definitely be a challenge to get into a caustic building but it shouldn’t completely prevent you from getting in it cause his gas isn’t actually that scary it does make you weaker but it should definitely be stronger in either dmg or slow factor to punish you for trying to get in especially saying as how caustic players now need to actually think where they should place their traps A dmg buff to the gas could definitely be nice for caustic imo As for crypto I think it’s a step in the right direction just needs a couple tweaks here and there Like - a reduced cooldown to (30 preferably) - Having the drone be silent or at least make a lot less noise when not moving - and a longer throw range then 23 meters lol

[@nebulous9280]

Idk taking constant damage, blocking up your vision, Caustic being able to see you perfectly through the gas, and being slowed make it nigh impossible to win duels in their area. Caustic got nerfed for a good reason, and buffing the damage on it will 100% make him busted. As for Crypto I do like the idea of reducing the cooldown, since you become totally useless once your drone bites it, but being wallhacked by a Crypto is insanely powerful. The noise is there specifically so you can find it or know that it's nearby.

[@user-ye4yn7qe3y]

The drone throw range is kinda small?

[@biker4235]

Mokey can you confirm if Gibby’s dome is actually bigger please?

[@pimpsavage3911]

If they made it where his emp does not hurt him crypto would be so much better

[@savaget2058]

I really miss being able to go into drone view as quickly, I hope that there is some way that he can do that again. Having to deploy the drone a bit before you can go into drone view is cumbersome and especially when you are in a confined space like a hallway, can really throw off your initial orientation since the drone automatically turns once it hits a wall.

[@judyle1987]

You can hold down the button when throwing the drone to also go into drone view

[@actseight9358]

You can hold the ability button to go into it. Also the change was made to make him more viable in close range fights

[@Lucifer-yl3wy]

Yeah the old way was better... it was hold to throw drone and tap to go in. They should go back to that way. Tap to enter drone and hold to throw or stick to a wall.

[@actseight9358]

@@Lucifer-yl3wy it wasn't ever like that. You can't throw it and leave it there

[@savaget2058]

It doesn't matter if you hold it down or not, the drone still travels the 20 m distance away from you and there is more of a lag to go into the drone then before the patch. It's shown clearly in the video.

[@mfaizfaufanid5947]

i hate the new cryptop drone flight, need 2 times to call lol

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

They actually made crypto actually get used once in a while, when the only thing he’s good for is reviving his teammates with the drone

[@friedcalamari1406]

As a crypto main that change didn’t help much. Before I would just accidentally press the button then go in to drone view then die. Now it is “Let me use the dron aghhhh”

[@juicypbc1998]

Honestly I’ve been a huge Apex fan since the beginning but I just can’t it’s too many changes I chose to take a hike

[@lastshot7582]

Why can't we just ping where we want the drone to go? They gave it the ability to throw but it feels off if u want to move it elsewhere. Having to spam recall to throw it again sucks. Also it feels like it takes longer to get into the drone to actually go where u want to go with it.

[@catboomer3332]

Dron summoning animation still bugged, still can't ping stuff from drone while in trident. New summoning is annoying, drone keep hitting into things and flip camera...

[@austinmc12]

Holy hell it’s CRYPTOE

[@OfficeVigilante]

good change, but I'd like to ping my drone where to go

[@dharmeshmistry342]

Loving the crypto changes but absolutely hating the caustic changes. You have zero ability to control corners unless your traps are in full cover, it takes a 4th of an r301 clip without an extended mag to delete your trap so it’s not that hard unless the caustic is camping, which apex doesn’t provide for. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people ACCIDENTALLY get rid of my caustic traps with stray bullets so far.

[@deadxmouth]

One of my favorite uses of gas traps is dropping the for some temporary cover. Now that's not a thing. Really don't like the changes.

[@GBLYN97]

lol 2/3 not a 1/4 check the end

[@Blemji]

@@deadxmouth sure but why should you be able to take less damage, and have multiple invincible traps that will also gas an area

[@RemedieX]

The Caustic change was needed. He's a defensive character, not an impenetrable barricade. You can still hold buildings effectively, but if you want to rat in the corner camping inside the building for extensive periods of time, you'll no longer be able to, and that's fine. There's never been a need for a character that can ridiculously draw fights out as much as Caustic can to the point people rather ignore you and target the other squad. It's good for temporary cover, holding an area long enough to get the edge with the gas, and to make the enemies waste their mag if they choose to shoot the barrels, which is the moment when you can peek and magdump. All they did was nerf the rat caustics. I'm all for it.

[@dharmeshmistry342]

@Gloryclover This. If they wanted to stop camping rats then they should take action against ratting, not an individual character. You see just as many Octanes as Bangalores, Wattsons as Caustics, and so on when you find a rat. Literally all they’ve done towards ratting is fix 1/20th of the fucking problem.
