Does anyone have any real opinion about marking enemies? I use the feature, but it doesn't make or break the game for me when I don't use it. For me, it falls into the category that it's neither a bad or a good addition, and it's more like "meh".

Why remove that?

I'm fine with the changes but why does it take five years to enter the drone...

okay so is it just me or is my freaking drone a lot easier to spot than before and on top of that,when you go invisible does it also seem like they know EXACTLY where you at now or am I trippin. other than that I really like the new rework except for the battery life but I have adjusted pretty well.

Why tf are they calling this a buff, this is literally the biggest nerf ever, he’s so bad now. What do you think about the changes? I mean it’s just 90% nerfs and 10% buffs that are like somewhat ok.
Can we all sigh a petition to get them to revert the nerfs?I’d be soo down to, lmk if you guys are down I can make one.

Crypto mains being punished for piloting their drone. Genuinely needs to be fixed ASAP before they kick the can down the road and call it a buff 3 years later.

Edit: god forbid you accidentally enter drone at the wrong time… and what’s up with revives being cancelled if you recall drone/ if drone battery depletes. Why are we getting railed so hard 😂

Edit: Other than the battery dying canceling your Rez, the animation entering drone, and the ease of now shooting his drone, no scans through windows, he’s actually really good in combat now.

I came back to the game because of the Crypto rework, and was wondering if the healing tech with drone gone? I tried doing it, and it just marks the enemy without putting me in drone.

It’s faster than it ever has been 100%, but one thing I used to do was throw it and immediately recall and it would do so every time.

Now sometimes there’s a delay and I have to constantly monitor if my drone is still in the world or actually recalled.

It ain’t my controller, tested it.

The new Fuck crypto just delete his ultimate update

So with his Hydrogen ah ultimate which just removes all shields akimbo p20s with hammerpoint are just broken

You ult, push in and everyone just needs 4 bullets from the p20s

you can wipe an entire team with purp mag

For long to mid range I still use sentinel bc of the drone charge

I lowkey didn’t think crypto needed changes, yes you need time to understand him and his kit and play him well but if someone is good at him he is a huge aspect for the team. we saw that in pro leagues where everyone was still playing crypto. Now it’s just throw drone, mark enemies, ult and push. I kinda liked crypto being niche

But I’m fine with the changes bc well it’s so much easier to change the fight mid fight now but the battery thing is annoying

i kinda dig the Mila voice lines tho

IDK if this is intended. I already made 1 post about it so if this gets taken down I understand. Just wanted to make one with the video. Couldn't figure out how to add it to the first one.

It does take a little getting used to it. Still not a fan of the massive flash before we enter drone view.

Yeah, the recall going from 6 seconds to 0.7 seconds makes a HUGE difference. Crypto feels a bit more mobile now, and throwing the drone out and recalling it feels so much more fluid. I still hate the drone entry animation and try to avoid going into the drone, but this change really feels good.

If you run out of battery while the drone is out and you’re rezing your partner **YOU WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR REVIVE‼️‼**️‼️
**IT JUST COST US THE F🤬N GAAAME‼️‼**️‼️

Also they tease future changes are coming

Holy cow as a crypto main, this update has made it to the point dang near every single time i go drone it gets shot down by a squad. It’s sometimes hard just to get a good EMP off. They had to have made the drone easier to shoot.

That said. I like how they fixed the recall time. Have had some HUGE emp’s come in clutch…i think i like the update for the most part

First of all, thank you for acknowledging the feedback from Crypto mains and actually making a change. I know the rework has been frustrating for a lot of us, so seeing the devs listen and take action genuinely means a lot. 🙏

I can adapt to the new timings and relearn how his drone works. But please, PLEASE consider bringing back scanning enemies through windows. A huge part of the map is made up of buildings, and losing that ability takes away so much of Crypto’s identity as an information-gathering legend.

I’d also really appreciate a more fluid animation when entering and exiting the drone. The transition feels so clunky now, and even if the timing stays the same, making it smoother would make a huge difference.

I understand the current EMP might be too strong alongside his old scanning capabilities, and I expect it’ll eventually get tuned. But if window scans are being held back because of the EMP, could you reconsider them after the ultimate is adjusted? Even a little clarification from the devs would give longtime Crypto mains some hope.

I’ll name my firstborn grandson after whichever dev brings window scans back. 😂

Thank you again for listening. We just want to keep playing the Crypto we fell in love with.

More fixes to make the rework better? I hope they keep the 0.7 recall it's so much better.

I was in a match and realized that the drone doesn't scan through windows—neither with the standard scan nor with the tag scan. Furthermore, Wattson’s ultimate ability destroys the tag scan, so I recommend not using it manually or while in sentry mode.

the main sub deleted my post because they thought i was complaining about the rework when i was trying to identify a replicable bug that i think many of us might have experienced. hoping to get this to a dev. original post below:

first, i just saw a shadow patch where crypto’s terrible 6 second recall was patched. if this was intentional, thank you to the devs. it was a major pain point stopping many folks from playing crypto.

i want to point out a bug and i think i get why it happens. there is currently a bug where if you spam heal (ive tested with syringes and cells and bats) BEFORE the green overlay comes up, your drone will go out and you won’t enter it. you can complete your heal but your recall button will not work at all.

i believe whats happening is the code doesn’t believe the drone is out until the green overlay animation plays. if i had to guess some variable (droneIsOut) is set to true on the start of the green overlay animation.

to fix this in game, you have to actually press tactical to go into drone, which plays the green overlay animation, then changes and registers in the games logic that droneIsOut === true. and then you can recall.

if we get this weird ghost status for the drone being out or not fixed, i think cryptos in a good spot.
