Crypto

Surveillance Expert

Crypto is a Recon Legend. He was introduced in Season 3 and is locked from the base game. He can be unlocked using digital currency: either or , or by buying the Champion Edition downloadable content.

A Legend who takes to the skies, Crypto with his Surveillance Drone, reveal enemies for Crypto and his squad using Neurolink. If he finds that the enemies have already hunkered down, he can activate his Drone EMP to destroy their defenses and slow them before he comes out of the shadows and makes his move with his squad.

Abilities

TacticalQ

Surveillance Drone

Cooldown 30s

Deploy an aerial camera drone that can remotely interact with Survey Beacon, Respawn Beacon, and ally Banner cards.

  • Pressing the tactical button will launch the drone from Crypto ~25 m. Holding the tactical button will cause Crypto to go into drone view immediately.
  • The drone can be deployed and flown up to 200 meters away from Crypto. If the drone is 240+ meters away from Crypto, it will automatically be recalled.
  • Crypto can recall the drone at any time, EXCEPT when reviving a teammate who is down, as this will interrupt the revive on the downed teammate. The drone can, however, be recalled without interruption while shooting, healing, while knocked down, or executing other actions. The recall takes ~2 seconds.
  • The drone has 50 health, which gets recovered when recalled.
  • The drone can be used to open doors/Supply Bins/Care Packages, pick up squadmates' banner cards, and use both Survey Beacons and Respawn Beacons instantly. It must be within 7 meters to do these.
  • The drone can ping items as long as they are within 12 meters. Enemies can be pinged up to 125 meters.
  • Champion Banners seen through the drone's vision will show the number of enemy squads within a 200-meter radius of Crypto (not the drone).
  • While in drone view, weapons automatically reload, starting with the currently equipped weapon. Reloads take the same amount of time as they would normally.
  • The audio range from the drone is as follows:
Passive

Neurolink

Crypto and his teammates see what his Surveillance Drone detects up to a 30m distance.

  • The drone will highlight doors, supply bins, care packages, traps, and enemies with a direct and uninterrupted line of sight within 30 meters. Enemies are more noticeably marked with a triangle.
  • Enemies highlighted by the drone will see 'DRONE DETECTED' on their HUD.

Drone EMP

Charge time 3 min

Charge up an EMP from your drone. The blast deals 50 shield damage, slows players, and destroys traps.

  • Takes 3 seconds to charge before detonating. The drone can be destroyed before the detonation, cancelling it.
  • Affects all players (and Crypto himself) in a 30-meter radius, even through walls and other obstacles. Squadmates take no shield damage but are still slowed down.
  • Enemies hit by the EMP will have their minimaps disabled for 2 seconds. It is replaced with static and the words [SIGNAL JAMMED].
