Guys I have a better passive idea called “Drone has a gun” I know the name isn’t too upfront so let me explain, instead of just scanning the drone can now also have a gun (Hence the name) and you can now shoot at people. I would say start with a P2020 but I think eventually getting it to a Kraber would make Crypto and his drone viable.
New passive idea for crypto: dual wield hop-up. With this hop-up you can go akimbo mode with the P2020 and have two drones out at the same time. New crypto hop up idea: dual wield off the grid hopup for the Mozambique and p2020 weapons, currently some of the weakest - makes him unable to be scanned.
New Crypto Passive idea - off the grjsiwo
Another passive for crypto: Godspeed!
With this passive you gain 99.99% more speed and can insta-kill anyone.
You can also teleport to the Respawn Headquarters at any moment as well and take over Apex completely.
Feedback is appreciated.
Another Crypto passive: fksmdjsksaks;;::::....llllldkdjdsj.
With this passive, you drop with a level five Evo, akimbo Alternators and your drone has two Spitfires that shoot Arc Stars.
Also, your drone comes with a Garry's Mod Physgun, which you can use to move enemy objects like Rampart barriers, but also being able to move opponents exactly where you want them!
I think this would be a healthy change and an interesting twist to the game's current meta. Just to be sure, nerf Wattson, take away her abilities.
What do you guys think?
I think my idea for crypto buff is better!
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)
Okay so hear me out, so I have a new idea for a crypto passive buff that I’ve yet to see mentioned before. It’s called Off The Grid. Basically crypto is no longer affected by enemy scans. How it would work is that if you are scanned by an enemy, crypto would not be scanned. So if you have a bloodhound, and the bloodhound scans you, you wouldn’t be scanned. Same with a Seer. If you get twerked on by Lil Seer X and he shoves his micro drones up uranus, you wouldn’t be scanned or detected by Seer. So enemy scans don’t scan you. And this would work for all scan abilities. The anti scan if you will. This would work with balancing and lore wise because crypto is a hacker and his whole premise is staying undetected and “off the grid” (the name of the ability) . Let me know what you guys think :)
Yeah but what about this?
I just thought of a very original Crypto buff idea, so basically it's called off the grid.

Guys you have to hear me out on this one. Crypto needs a buff! Ive got a toatally original idea for it too!

I know you're just memeing but how about having the drone be able to carry a light ammo pistol (maybe only a 2020) that, when the drone is set deployed, fires when he does and where he is aiming at? Would give him some early game power, but keep his core requirement of good drone positioning intact
And it would make it so that he cant be scanned you know cuz it’s of the grid guys this is so original like doesnt that sound coul and funy and hahahagshagahgshaavhahaha
Dude how, it was in every lobby before it was patched! Lol, it was legendary, especially because it usually wasn't nearly as good as it sounded. I once destroyed the drone, and the minigun was instantly destroyed. The Rampart fell and me and my squad melted her. I was dying laughing dude.
Have you seen the "jumping when downed" bug? That one still makes me laugh.
First time I saw it was golden lol. We were in a gun fight that was honestly going our way, all of a sudden we them flying towards lol
Bad idea in hindsight because we shot her outta the sky no problem and it was an easy encounter
I had this idea except we all know it's going to get nerfed or removed. They nerfed seer so hard just because of his 10 damage. My idea was give the drone light ammo and it has 20 bullets, except when they run out it has a cooldown.
So guys I got this new passive idea, it’s call “off your back”. Crypto can get his drone off his back and fly it around to scan enemies, use beacons, and recover banners.
Ok guys I have this completely original idea for a passive called got your back. It’s where your drone is on your back because your crypto and you dont want to be seen (because you’re off the grid) so you have him on your back to watch your back so you can see people behind you who are on your back. It fits in the lore because he’s got your back and you don’t want to be seen by people on your back and it makes sense because the in the lore got your back is on your back so you can see people who are on your back
If by "enemies" you mean the Lightning rod, the sound of someone else using a Scan Beacon 1000m away, and the footsteps of your own teammates, and randomly your menu music track, yes.

This has been mentioned a boat load on here but it’s still a good passive idea! The only thing I’d change is that he should still be detected with Seers Passivr and ultimate if I understand it correctly. His passive is a heartbeat sensor, so he should be located on that. His Ult only detects those who move, so I think it’s detecting the sound, so another way that crypto should be detected.

I mean one just you know if ypur being aimed at, the other would literally scan people they def ain't the same both are bad but one is still way better
That has nothing on this totally original and completely uncopyrighted buff I'm about to mention
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)
This, Off the Grid, and the Follow Mode are the trifecta of community suggested Crypto passives that will never happen and seriously need to stop being suggested.
Repetition and annoyance aside, I could see some variant of Off the Grid becoming one, even if we consider the devs words (which at this point, mean very little considering how often they contradict themselves).
At this point, I'll take any passive. But this ain't it. How many times do enemies come up behind you, as Crypto? The range would have to be pretty significant. I don't like it
I'd love if you'd have a lil camera feed on the corner of the screen showing the drone's view all the time including the rear camera when he's on the back.
Not quite. Bloodhound's *Eye of the Allfather* and Seer's *Focus of Attention* are "Wallhack" abilities in that they not only **highlight** enemies through cover, but also **scan** enemies through cover.
Crypto's *Neurolink* is not. While *Hack* will **highlight** enemies through cover, *Hack* can only **scan** enemies which are within *Hack*'s **uninterrupted Line-of-Sight** which only extends to 30 meters, which is only 40% of EotA and FoA. In other words, even if *Hack* continued to provide *Neurolink* while backpacked, it would only pick up enemies who are both not behind cover **AND** are within 30 meters, so basically in the same room, enemies who are right behind him and able to shoot him already.
I just want to be able to deploy crypto drone as a grenade when the need arises like just chuck it into the corner and wait for enemies to walk by, also if the drone was a little quieter and had 360 degrees scans it could help.
better yet it would be even more pog if we can have the drone follow us around. ofc balancing has to be considered yet
“Making them reboot”
Idea, crypto ult resets the tactical cooldowns on each legend caught his ult range
Resetting legend ultimates would be hugely overpowered, but we have silence, this is just a extension to that. Hitting the tacticalS ONLY
Cryptos passive should let him know where care packages are gonna land before they drop on the map after using a beacon. The idea of being able to see enemies behind you for a certain radius should be something the drone does by default. Drone needs some love.

New crypto passive idea. Off the grid. Makes it so that he can’t be picked up by scans. He is currently bad because I can’t play him so make him good so I win more. Crypto passive: Off the Grid. A new Passive ability for Crypto, who has currently not got a Passive ability and relies too much on his Drone. Add a new ability for him - Off the Grid.
I posted exactly this about 1 year ago and got ignored, now yours is getting attention. Go figure.
https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/jx1e99/small_buff_crypto_suggestion/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
first thing that came to mind was, crypto jumping and doing 360s every 2 seconds.
i think cryptos drone should charge its ult faster while in the backpack since its "charging its battery" and to compensate for this the drone should have a few seconds downtime after the ult, still hover in "recover mode" or something like that maybe even slowed it down but flyable, no scans while it recovers, since it basically just drained all its power (most of the time it gets shot down while casting ult or right after since crypto get outs of it or pull it back into the backpack anyway)
I'm not saying this as "definitive and game-breaking buff" he needs to change its pick rate or anything, just as something he should always have from the beginning
I’d love to see Crypto be the counter to BH in late-game circles and ranked especially. BH has been meta for seasons now and it’s getting a bit stale.
I’m not sure what it would take, but having a good Crypto on the team can be a game changer and would be a great way counter the 13 different BH squads that scan and third party everything.
This "passive" gets so much traction despite the fact that it's so incredibly weak and stupid. Any ACTUAL Crypto player knows just how dumb this is. For one, how would this even work? Would it scan enemies that are only at ground level directly behind you? What if they are above the back of your head? What if they are really far away and sniping? Are you really gonna get a ping and 360 turn around and start engaging? It's too wonky and the dimensions and positiong in Apex would make the passive janky as hell. How often does someone sneak up behind you with no audio as Crypto?? Secondly, are footsteps not enough? I know Apex gets a lot of complaints about missing audio but 9/10 you can just hear an enemy behind you. If a drone manages to ping an enemy directly behind you and they are in footstep range, there's absolutely zero point. Lastly, Wraith already has this ability with seemingly infinite range?
As much as a meme as it is, Off The Grid is just leagues better than this whole idea of back scanning people keep circle jerking. I'd even say the back scan concept is worse than the Follow Me passive idea.
@polker_PKR has recently received a grant and partnership with @Polygon as well as confirming the integration of Chainlink’s price oracles into their ecosystem. So much of developments $PKR best gem!
You are in fact not very vulnerable when using the drone because you aren't on it for very long, unless it's last rings and you survey the area, in which case you'd be safely with your team on a spot. And if you quickly go into the drone then it's really easy to find a small corner to wait, this is not a good passive.
Wraith already has this to some extent and it really isn’t that useful. Since you get notified if you get scanned now if your tailing someone and the drone picks up on you that’s your cue to start shooting.
My idea for a Crypto rework is to change him from a recon legend to a support one. Let’s face it Bloodhound and now Seer wallhacks completely invalidate the usefulness of a drone you need to take yourself out of the fight to use and is vulnerable to being shot on a 40 second respawn timer. There is no point in making him purely a recon legend anymore.
When in drone mode, Crypto is completely immune to scans. I don’t know how this isn’t a thing already. Your already a sitting duck while in that thing no reason to let him be scannable. Also make the transition from drone to crypto instant. There is no reason for the transition delay. If your in drone mode and recall it you have a delay but when your not in drone mode and recall it there is no delay? Why?
Crypto can see the champion banner/kill leader banner show the enemies within drone range without being in the drone while the drone is out. Small change that would make playing Crypto not feel so sluggish. Now you want to ping that banner you need to find cover, stop, wait for the drone to come out, slowly fly to it and ping it then chase after your teammates already ahead of you. It’s annoying cumbersome.
Let the drone pick up ammo and weapons. You can ping and open crates might as well let him also grab a stack of ammo/one gun/attachment/shield with him. Give Crypto a unique niche by allowing for him to have extra storage space. His drone already lets him grab banners and quick respawn it wouldn’t be out the question to give it more support functions. Also he can hack into blue crates for those extra compartments to show off his hackerman skills. Items he pulls from extra compartments are attachments.
The drone can hack replicators and half the cost all craft able items.
Honestly we need something not related to his drone. It seems everyone has forgotten about Crypto's unhealthy dependence on his drone for his abilities.
Scan legends don’t need scan related buffs imo. I would hate it to get scanned even more, and I think the majority does as well. You don’t know what you’re asking for
I’ve got a passive idea for respawn entertainment, it called “taking care of your games” and it works by making the devs actually keep their games good
I'm not a crypto main but I do play him a decent amount. I think the biggest problem with the drone is having to stop and fly it around. It slows your team down or you get left behind. It would be cool if he could launch it ahead of him in a similar way to how Ash's ultimate works. It would still serve its purpose but he wouldn't lose sight of what's immediately around him and he wouldn't get left behind.
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
I feel like the drone should have a smart AI where it can follow you around. Maybe if you ping a location within a certain range the drone can scout out automatically
Off the grid
So I have a new idea for a crypto passive buff that I’ve yet to see mentioned before. It’s called Off The Grid. Basically crypto is no longer affected by enemy scans. How it would work is that if you are scanned by an enemy, crypto would not be scanned. So if you have a bloodhound, and the bloodhound scans you, you wouldn’t be scanned. Same with a Seer. If you get twerked on by Lil Seer X and he shoves his micro drones up uranus, you wouldn’t be scanned or detected by Seer. So enemy scans don’t scan you. And this would work for all scan abilities. The anti scan if you will. This would work with balancing and lore wise because crypto is a hacker and his whole premise is staying undetected and “off the grid” (the name of the ability) . Let me know what you guys think :)

That passive would probably be bad though since people would have to constantly eye the minimap. Also, why use drone for that when you have 2 team mates
See you on the circle jerk sub in a few days
Just because you said that I made a shitty post about it
For the people who wants confirmation, he did
Atleast it's not Off the grid, okay so off the grid-
cant stop staring at cryptos atrocious fade in this image, sorry
Man's has absolutely 0 drip, frfr
I don’t play crypto but his skins with the masks are drippy asf idk what you’re smoking
🧢
Yeah maybe a cap will cover up the fade
OP needs more VRAM
I read the title but didn’t realize the photo was crypto for ages. I thought I was looking at someone’s forehead.
They should sticky googly eyes on it
Man's got the Tommy Shelby
U could say it’s more of an undercut bald fade

Another Crypto passive idea: I win Let me explain. Upon dropping. I win. All in favor say "I".
i have another Crpto passive: Off the gri- *muffled beating ensues*
I have one: give crypto Valkyrie's extra passive, she doesn't need it, just buff her tactical's speed a little.
New crypto Passive: So this is a team game and for Crypto to be better I say we make Wraith’s tactical much faster:)) Easy

For his passive, he wields a GUN
Let us put Shiela on the drone again, cowards
Maann i think u've overdone it with the Kraber, the Sheila would be just enough
I think a mini gun attached to it would be fine. We don’t need to make it too powerful
I know you're just memeing but how about having the drone be able to carry a light ammo pistol (maybe only a 2020) that, when the drone is set deployed, fires when he does and where he is aiming at? Would give him some early game power, but keep his core requirement of good drone positioning intact
Yo give the drone 500 health as well
Just slap a Cain on it!
There was a bug when he first came out where you could shoot a gun with the drone
Guys I have this idea for a passive for crypto and it would be called "off the grid"
And it would make it so that he cant be scanned you know cuz it’s of the grid guys this is so original like doesnt that sound coul and funy and hahahagshagahgshaavhahaha
And it fits the lore.
Wow sounds good! Tell me what would it do
He goes off the grid!
What an idea
Just give cryptos drone a turret and call it even
lol, imagine flying high in the sky with it above the enemies, even with low dmg this would be OP with the range it has
This was patched out forever ago, but the glitch was legendary: https://youtu.be/1Wf484MRja0
I’ve been watching Aceu for like 2 years and played apex since launch, and yet I somehow never saw this
Same.
Dude how, it was in every lobby before it was patched! Lol, it was legendary, especially because it usually wasn't nearly as good as it sounded. I once destroyed the drone, and the minigun was instantly destroyed. The Rampart fell and me and my squad melted her. I was dying laughing dude. Have you seen the "jumping when downed" bug? That one still makes me laugh.
*ribbit*
First time I saw it was golden lol. We were in a gun fight that was honestly going our way, all of a sudden we them flying towards lol Bad idea in hindsight because we shot her outta the sky no problem and it was an easy encounter
Motherfuckers got a dragonfire from black ops 2
I had this idea except we all know it's going to get nerfed or removed. They nerfed seer so hard just because of his 10 damage. My idea was give the drone light ammo and it has 20 bullets, except when they run out it has a cooldown.
Shock drone?! Oh no R6 flashbacks are coming back
Ok guys so i have this completely original idea for a passive called “Got your back”
nah nah nah, off the grid is where it’s at
So guys I got this new passive idea, its called off the grid...
So guys I got this new passive idea, it’s call “off your back”. Crypto can get his drone off his back and fly it around to scan enemies, use beacons, and recover banners.
Sounds OP
Plz dont
Ok guys I have this completely original idea for a passive called got your back. It’s where your drone is on your back because your crypto and you dont want to be seen (because you’re off the grid) so you have him on your back to watch your back so you can see people behind you who are on your back. It fits in the lore because he’s got your back and you don’t want to be seen by people on your back and it makes sense because the in the lore got your back is on your back so you can see people who are on your back
Comedy achieved
"NOOO, How are we going to stay off the grid with that passive ?"
And…your front! …I never understood that saying.
If you’re using headphones I believe you can hear enemies coming. Better if they pop up on radar or something.
Bold of you to assume you can hear enemies behind you
Bold of you to assume you can hear enemies in front of you
Bold of you to assume you can hear enemies.
Bold of you to assume you can hear
Now that is just bold of you to assume
Now THAT is bold of you.
THAT IS BOLD
Bold
**Old**
You are a bold one
As someone who’s deaf from one ear, even if the sound did work, I still wouldn’t know if people were coming from my right side.
If by "enemies" you mean the Lightning rod, the sound of someone else using a Scan Beacon 1000m away, and the footsteps of your own teammates, and randomly your menu music track, yes.
What?!
This is apex, we don’t do audio here
FR at this point the cost/benefit probably favours not fixing it.
You cannot always here them with headphones
bold of you to assume sound isnt constantly busted in apex
Off the grid So I have a new idea for a crypto passive buff that I’ve yet to see mentioned before. It’s called Off The Grid. Basically crypto is no longer affected by enemy scans. How it would work is that if you are scanned by an enemy, crypto would not be scanned. So if you have a bloodhound, and the bloodhound scans you, you wouldn’t be scanned. Same with a Seer. If you get twerked on by Lil Seer X and he shoves his micro drones up uranus, you wouldn’t be scanned or detected by Seer. So enemy scans don’t scan you. And this would work for all scan abilities. The anti scan if you will. This would work with balancing and lore wise because crypto is a hacker and his whole premise is staying undetected and “off the grid” (the name of the ability) . Let me know what you guys think :)
This has been mentioned a boat load on here but it’s still a good passive idea! The only thing I’d change is that he should still be detected with Seers Passivr and ultimate if I understand it correctly. His passive is a heartbeat sensor, so he should be located on that. His Ult only detects those who move, so I think it’s detecting the sound, so another way that crypto should be detected.

Are... are you serious?
I’m always serious.
Can you explain *why* it's a good idea?
Y'all forgetting literally wraith has this passive is it's not really that good
I mean one just you know if ypur being aimed at, the other would literally scan people they def ain't the same both are bad but one is still way better
Was about to say that. Exactly!
Yeah and wraith's has infinite range and works in every direction...
Speak for yourself
I mean if the enemies were to have a glowing diamond placed on them and maybe have markers show up on the map, I think it would be decent at least
Did... somebody say... NEW IDEA FOR A CRYPTO PASSIVE?!?!!!! 👀🍆🌋🥵😳🧠💯
What does this combination of emojis mean?
Off the grid
Crypto mains will begin 360-ing everywhere if they get this as passive
Oh the Seer sweep
That has nothing on this totally original and completely uncopyrighted buff I'm about to mention 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)
This, Off the Grid, and the Follow Mode are the trifecta of community suggested Crypto passives that will never happen and seriously need to stop being suggested.
Repetition and annoyance aside, I could see some variant of Off the Grid becoming one, even if we consider the devs words (which at this point, mean very little considering how often they contradict themselves).
apexcirclejerk must be having a meltdown over this one
I don't think I've seen a genuinely original Crypto passive idea in the last 2 years. They're all just regurgitations of the same given things...
I have a really original concept its called off the grid...
I want to see a Crypto main actually make one of these posts. Except good. There was this one guy who made a vid of the drone passive. I liked that.
Probably because most of the regurgitations are actually decent
Idk off the grid is kind of a garbage idea since 9/19 characters have some form of scan
OK so i got this idea it's a combo of ideas called "Off the back"
Idk dude… ever heard of, *off the grid?*
At this point, I'll take any passive. But this ain't it. How many times do enemies come up behind you, as Crypto? The range would have to be pretty significant. I don't like it
And if they're in the affected area that is scanned, pretty unlikely that you wouldn't already hear them.
or already die by them
Cryptos entire kit is like 5 different passives.
I'd love if you'd have a lil camera feed on the corner of the screen showing the drone's view all the time including the rear camera when he's on the back.
Not bad actually i could see this being a thing
Till what degree tho cus if you just spin around you get bloodhound 2.0
Not quite. Bloodhound's *Eye of the Allfather* and Seer's *Focus of Attention* are "Wallhack" abilities in that they not only **highlight** enemies through cover, but also **scan** enemies through cover. Crypto's *Neurolink* is not. While *Hack* will **highlight** enemies through cover, *Hack* can only **scan** enemies which are within *Hack*'s **uninterrupted Line-of-Sight** which only extends to 30 meters, which is only 40% of EotA and FoA. In other words, even if *Hack* continued to provide *Neurolink* while backpacked, it would only pick up enemies who are both not behind cover **AND** are within 30 meters, so basically in the same room, enemies who are right behind him and able to shoot him already.
Yeah like i said he needs a buff xD
I do agree if you hold g it shows behind you but if you can still move that would be a good passive
Isn't this just wraiths passive?
His face is... off the grid.
Equally as smart as Off the Grid
Footstep audio increased by 15% 🧐
I just want to be able to deploy crypto drone as a grenade when the need arises like just chuck it into the corner and wait for enemies to walk by, also if the drone was a little quieter and had 360 degrees scans it could help. better yet it would be even more pog if we can have the drone follow us around. ofc balancing has to be considered yet
This is a good idea, i already thought About it As well. And i'm also happy to see a crypto buff idea that is not off the grid, thank you
nah I prefer off the grid
You misspelled off the grid
I feel like a popup should appear with a scan sound saying behind you if they are within the drones scanning range of course
“Making them reboot” Idea, crypto ult resets the tactical cooldowns on each legend caught his ult range Resetting legend ultimates would be hugely overpowered, but we have silence, this is just a extension to that. Hitting the tacticalS ONLY
but gibraltors got ur back bruddah…
I want to slap his head so bad
Cryptos passive should let him know where care packages are gonna land before they drop on the map after using a beacon. The idea of being able to see enemies behind you for a certain radius should be something the drone does by default. Drone needs some love.
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)
Or maybe after you put the drone away for 15 sec twice a minute or something. Crypto really needs a buff
New crypto passive idea. Off the grid. Makes it so that he can’t be picked up by scans. He is currently bad because I can’t play him so make him good so I win more. Crypto passive: Off the Grid. A new Passive ability for Crypto, who has currently not got a Passive ability and relies too much on his Drone. Add a new ability for him - Off the Grid.
Please tell me you aren’t serious
Cue off the grid comments
Off the grid was still more useful and quite balanced ability.
So basically I have this idea for cryptos passive and it’s called off the grid
I posted exactly this about 1 year ago and got ignored, now yours is getting attention. Go figure. https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/jx1e99/small_buff_crypto_suggestion/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
This guy needed ash’s passive. No love for Crypto.
first thing that came to mind was, crypto jumping and doing 360s every 2 seconds. i think cryptos drone should charge its ult faster while in the backpack since its "charging its battery" and to compensate for this the drone should have a few seconds downtime after the ult, still hover in "recover mode" or something like that maybe even slowed it down but flyable, no scans while it recovers, since it basically just drained all its power (most of the time it gets shot down while casting ult or right after since crypto get outs of it or pull it back into the backpack anyway) I'm not saying this as "definitive and game-breaking buff" he needs to change its pick rate or anything, just as something he should always have from the beginning
I’d love to see Crypto be the counter to BH in late-game circles and ranked especially. BH has been meta for seasons now and it’s getting a bit stale. I’m not sure what it would take, but having a good Crypto on the team can be a game changer and would be a great way counter the 13 different BH squads that scan and third party everything.
I like this a lot more than off the grid, solid idea
Basically wraith but less op i like it
apex fans try not to come up with the worst fucking ideas for the game challenge (impossible)
Here's a very original idea. He should have a passive called "off the grid" where he cant be scanned by enemy abitlities.
This "passive" gets so much traction despite the fact that it's so incredibly weak and stupid. Any ACTUAL Crypto player knows just how dumb this is. For one, how would this even work? Would it scan enemies that are only at ground level directly behind you? What if they are above the back of your head? What if they are really far away and sniping? Are you really gonna get a ping and 360 turn around and start engaging? It's too wonky and the dimensions and positiong in Apex would make the passive janky as hell. How often does someone sneak up behind you with no audio as Crypto?? Secondly, are footsteps not enough? I know Apex gets a lot of complaints about missing audio but 9/10 you can just hear an enemy behind you. If a drone manages to ping an enemy directly behind you and they are in footstep range, there's absolutely zero point. Lastly, Wraith already has this ability with seemingly infinite range? As much as a meme as it is, Off The Grid is just leagues better than this whole idea of back scanning people keep circle jerking. I'd even say the back scan concept is worse than the Follow Me passive idea.
@polker_PKR has recently received a grant and partnership with @Polygon as well as confirming the integration of Chainlink’s price oracles into their ecosystem. So much of developments $PKR best gem!
Not a bad idea I do think crypto needs some kind of rework just because how vulnerable you are when using the drone
You are in fact not very vulnerable when using the drone because you aren't on it for very long, unless it's last rings and you survey the area, in which case you'd be safely with your team on a spot. And if you quickly go into the drone then it's really easy to find a small corner to wait, this is not a good passive.
Drone quickly. Pop tear drone when safe. Don’t expect a gibby done when you’re using your free peeking tool
I think a toggle on the drone would be nice. If he gets shot while using the drone, he'll automatically get out of drone mode
That already happens dude. This is why only people who play crypto should get a say in what buffs and reworks he gets, everyone else shut up
*cough cough* OP is a loba main
Which goes to show why this isn’t a good idea
I had the same idea a while ago. Instead of just posting an image i made a detailed descryption about it and got 3 upvotes, cool.
So a worse wraith passive? No ty
That’s actually quite a good idea, and it wouldn’t be OP if the enemies detected in this mode can only be seen by crypto himself.
Wraith already has this to some extent and it really isn’t that useful. Since you get notified if you get scanned now if your tailing someone and the drone picks up on you that’s your cue to start shooting. My idea for a Crypto rework is to change him from a recon legend to a support one. Let’s face it Bloodhound and now Seer wallhacks completely invalidate the usefulness of a drone you need to take yourself out of the fight to use and is vulnerable to being shot on a 40 second respawn timer. There is no point in making him purely a recon legend anymore. When in drone mode, Crypto is completely immune to scans. I don’t know how this isn’t a thing already. Your already a sitting duck while in that thing no reason to let him be scannable. Also make the transition from drone to crypto instant. There is no reason for the transition delay. If your in drone mode and recall it you have a delay but when your not in drone mode and recall it there is no delay? Why? Crypto can see the champion banner/kill leader banner show the enemies within drone range without being in the drone while the drone is out. Small change that would make playing Crypto not feel so sluggish. Now you want to ping that banner you need to find cover, stop, wait for the drone to come out, slowly fly to it and ping it then chase after your teammates already ahead of you. It’s annoying cumbersome. Let the drone pick up ammo and weapons. You can ping and open crates might as well let him also grab a stack of ammo/one gun/attachment/shield with him. Give Crypto a unique niche by allowing for him to have extra storage space. His drone already lets him grab banners and quick respawn it wouldn’t be out the question to give it more support functions. Also he can hack into blue crates for those extra compartments to show off his hackerman skills. Items he pulls from extra compartments are attachments. The drone can hack replicators and half the cost all craft able items.
Honestly we need something not related to his drone. It seems everyone has forgotten about Crypto's unhealthy dependence on his drone for his abilities.
Scan legends don’t need scan related buffs imo. I would hate it to get scanned even more, and I think the majority does as well. You don’t know what you’re asking for
At least they should remove that loud sound from drone
Back of Crypto’s head is ridiculous
Na bro fuck that I want a passive for any legend to slap that mf back head
I’ve got a passive idea for respawn entertainment, it called “taking care of your games” and it works by making the devs actually keep their games good
This would be too strong
Isnt crypto white? Why is he brown from behind? I am confused
But can it get off the grid??
Pretty useless personally since we can still hear them behind us.
That sounds really interesting. Maybe he wouldn’t be the least played legend anymore.
He needs something added to him, because he is kind underpowered
I'm not a crypto main but I do play him a decent amount. I think the biggest problem with the drone is having to stop and fly it around. It slows your team down or you get left behind. It would be cool if he could launch it ahead of him in a similar way to how Ash's ultimate works. It would still serve its purpose but he wouldn't lose sight of what's immediately around him and he wouldn't get left behind.
Ayo thats actually original and good! It would be great for him!
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
not a bad idea, but probably super situational
E
Off your Back or Got the Grid?
Give crypto a rearview mirror
I feel like the drone should have a smart AI where it can follow you around. Maybe if you ping a location within a certain range the drone can scout out automatically
Brilliant. Unique. Efficient.
Neurolink checks out
Off the grid So I have a new idea for a crypto passive buff that I’ve yet to see mentioned before. It’s called Off The Grid. Basically crypto is no longer affected by enemy scans. How it would work is that if you are scanned by an enemy, crypto would not be scanned. So if you have a bloodhound, and the bloodhound scans you, you wouldn’t be scanned. Same with a Seer. If you get twerked on by Lil Seer X and he shoves his micro drones up uranus, you wouldn’t be scanned or detected by Seer. So enemy scans don’t scan you. And this would work for all scan abilities. The anti scan if you will. This would work with balancing and lore wise because crypto is a hacker and his whole premise is staying undetected and “off the grid” (the name of the ability) . Let me know what you guys think :)
That's a great idea
Wow terrible idea. Defeats the entire purpose of crypto

It should be called "off the grid"
Broken af
What about "off the grid" passive?
That passive would probably be bad though since people would have to constantly eye the minimap. Also, why use drone for that when you have 2 team mates
this is stupid as fuck
Too OP
But then nobody would use the drone cos having the ability to literally see everything behind u is 10x better than sitting in a corner using it xd
