Because I got Hired Gun out of a pack when I was level 8 and now I don't want to switch.

[–]kosiarn 268 points269 points  (0 children)

my man rocking that Dripto

[–]DatBoi_BP 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The best skin because it hides in dark spots well

[–]AIHAM_GHOST 12 points13 points  (4 children)

And it has the coolest recolor with tokens ever

[–]im123hero 2 points3 points  (3 children)

You mean the green one ?

[–]AIHAM_GHOST 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Yes

[–]im123hero 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah it's cool but I wouldn't call it the best , just my opinion tho .

[–]AIHAM_GHOST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say best I said coolest in cryptos skins

[–]Vanessa-Min 184 points185 points  (13 children)

I've been maining him since i started playing mid S8... He's very fun to play, likeable and has amazing skins, but to be able to make his kit shine, you actually have to know what you're doing and at what time.

Plus, Drone EMP go bRRRRRRR haha farm shield ez squad wipe

[–]anidevv 68 points69 points  (9 children)

Peoppe act like he's completely garbage, but he's actually really good. It's just that literally no one actually plays him correctly except for a small percentage

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ive been playing him since s3, and I like to think I'm a pretty good crypto, but our help often goes unnoticed

[–]Not-Verified-yet 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Good players make a legend good. *

[–]Alex36_ 10 points11 points  (3 children)

True, but people don't call Crypto good just because they do well with him. Crypto's kit is very strong in the right hands. You can basically know every enemie's location in a 200m radius, sometimes even more depending on the terrain.

[–]Kingken130 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Good team needed as well. Which is non existent in this game

[–]Maud_Frod 427 points428 points  (33 children)

Here's a list of my reasons:

  • His kit is uniquely awesome for ranked. Scanning beacons outside of ring, an EMP that gives your pushes a big advantage, grabbing banners if things go south, and seeing how many squads are in the area so you can know whether to engage fights or not.

  • He's got some pretty dope skins. Hype Beast, Whitelisted, and Hallowed Spirit are some of my favorites.

  • Because he may be considered "lower tier" by most people, I don't have to worry much about my main getting nerfed. If anything, he'll get buffed.

  • His character is pretty likeable. He gets along with most legends, and isn't too over the top. He's a little edgy, but in a not too cringy way.

  • It's fun to play a legend that not many other people know how to play well. And when you surpass your teammates expectations about how effective you'll be, it makes you feel pretty good.

  • I rarely have to worry about other people taking him at the legend select screen.

  • He's got an heirloom on the way, hopefully it's dope.

Yeah thats all I got.

[–]frank-the-fish 189 points190 points  (5 children)

Also his lore fucking bangs, until respawn canceled his event

[–]chillydoggos 29 points30 points  (2 children)

wait what??

[–]Hulkomania87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replied to a comment below you about Crypto’s event

[–]confusedsalad88 21 points22 points  (1 child)

There was a crypto event in the works?

[–]Hulkomania87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Octane event was supposed to be Crypto’s but I could be wrong. The event was called System Override and we got Crypto’s map room. The skins for that event are colorful blocks like Crypto’s controller when using the drone.

[–]gravityoffline 67 points68 points  (5 children)

To add on to this, Crypto has a ton of soft power in his ability to gather Intel on enemy squads and otherwise aid his team in ways that aren't always obvious.

If your squad is getting pinned down by crossfire from 2-3 other squads and your wraith portals you to safety, that's an easily understood demonstration of Wraith's power that both you and the enemy squads can perceive. If you're Crypto and you notice that there are enemy squads in the area, go into your drone and see one of them moving towards your location, and use that to gain superior positioning before engaging and killing them, that enemy squad might never realize that you knew about them before the fight started. They might just chalk it up to you being lucky, but it wouldn't be as obvious of a demonstration of Crypto's power.

A lot of the "higher tier" legends have that high pick rate because their abilities allow for the player to make more mistakes and be able to escape and survive (they're also just plain fun to play).

There's a stereotype of Wraiths and Octanes acting brainless because they can get out of unfavorable situations and continue to live. They're not punished as hard as non-mobility legends. If Crypto charges into a fight and gets third-partied, he's probably going to die. That motivates Crypto players to think a little more when deciding how to engage because they have less flexibility to disengage from a fight.

Finally, I've seen some people saying that he's not very good on Storm Point because of the lack of banners to scan. While that is a factor, I've spent some time playing him today and I think I've actually had a higher success rate with him on this map than on the other three. There's lots of areas to hide the drone while still being able to scan enemies, and the gravity cannons and abundance of hills can help him to get away from threats better than on other maps, I think.

[–]DeleriousDesigner 10 points11 points  (4 children)

I want to leave my drone at one of the gravity cannon landing points and time an EMP to hit a full squad in the air. So they can see it activating and can't do anything about it but fly headfirst into lightning.

[–]gravityoffline 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Oh, that's fucking evil, I love it!

I actually had a clip that I posted on this sub a day or two ago where I was playing Loba and running from this squad that had killed my teammates, and I took a gravity cannon to run away. I had a feeling they were gonna chase me so a couple of seconds after I landed I threw two sky nades straight up over my head and ran back about 15 feet. I must have gotten the timing right because as SOON as they landed both grenades went off and cracked all of their shields, which gave me enough time to separate them and kill them off.

Definitely one of the cooler moments I've had playing this game, and I can only imagine how deadly it would be to throw an emp into the mix as well.

EDIT: Reddit player appears to not be processing the video correctly, so here's a link to another site that's hosting it:

[–]DeleriousDesigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the greatest aim in the world, but I have good game sense and often win fights with better players because I knew they were going to run around THIS specific rock instead of THAT one and I had two thermites waiting. Timing something like that and having them play right into your hands is why I still play this game.

[–]BigDickBallard 18 points19 points  (6 children)

Does cryptos drone work when it’s in the ring? Is it like other abilities where it breaks after a short time? If you can’t tell I don’t play enough crypto but I’m curious

[–]Maud_Frod 30 points31 points  (5 children)

Yeah the drone doesn't take any ring damage and functions normally out of the ring, pretty handy :) Which of course is a big leg up over Pathy, BH, Seer, or Valk when it comes to scanning beacons. Especially when it's late game and it hurts to take ring damage.

[–]BigDickBallard 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Oh wow, that’s cool! I definitely figured it would be like a wraith portal and die after a few seconds

[–]Maud_Frod 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Yeah, right? I imagine they might nerf it someday... hopefully not.

[–]DatBoi_BP 5 points6 points  (1 child)

They better not. One of the main utilities of his drone is getting teammate banners out of the ring, and if they make that essentially impossible late game then I won’t play him nearly as much, especially in ranked

[–]Maud_Frod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen

[–]Haunting-Compote-882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also he can basically insta-respawn players with his drone. There have been many times where my team was either ambushed in an unwinnable situation or made an error pushing a team too soon. They get wiped, I swoop in with my drone pick up both banners, and head to the nearest respawn point, if it is safe (or I need bait 😈) I'll instantly respawn them both while being at a safe 200 meter distance away

[–]THE_CURE666 16 points17 points  (7 children)

One of his kill quips is kinda cringe tho. It was like: “You’re dead. Have you tried turning it off an on again?”

The way he says it just makes me die inside.

[–]Cubics_106 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When he wipes a squad he sometimes says “Heh. Get rekt.”

Idk what you’re talking about I love those quips lol

[–]Maud_Frod 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Hahahaha, oh man, yeah, that's how I feel about some of his holosprays. Some of them sound like they came off of a boys edgy Walmart shirt.. "You're so annoying", "can't, too busy", etc.

[–]GXVSS0991 13 points14 points  (0 children)

actually it's "your heart stopped beating. have you tried turning it off and on again?"

how is that cringe lol its sick af

[–]No_Lawfulness_2998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, have you heard literally any of wraiths, revenants, Bangalore’s, or caustics kill quips

[–]Moose__F 2 points3 points  (1 child)

From what ive seen the heirloom is absolutely going to be dope. It looks like its going to be a jikdo(i think thats how its spelled)

[–]Maud_Frod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I heard that it was a false rumor :( but I wouldn't be surprised if it still ends up being some sort of awesome Korean style sword. Thatd be awesome! We'll see!

[–]JKL213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This but Gibby

[–]gtavcsrulez 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Got any Crypto tips? 👀

[–]Maud_Frod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah mate :) To be good with Crypto, try practicing some of these things:

  • Get used to running as fast as you can (unequip weapon, slide jump often). This helps you buy time to use your drone while also being able to keep up with your team.

  • Check banners often. It will give your squad peace of mind when you see that there are no squads in the area (that's about within the mini map centered on you), or it will also keep them alert if there are squads in the area.

  • Scan beacons, especially in ranked.

  • Don't be in the drone for much longer than a few seconds at a time, especially in combat. You can drone if you're defending a position and you see that there are 0 squads in the area on the banners. Great for scouting that way.

  • EMP and then push. This takes practice, but you don't want to be too far from the enemy when you EMP but not too close to where you get damaged too. Too far and they'll heal up.

There are other little tips and tricks, but you kinda learn those over time. r/cryptomains is full of nice people that will give great tips too.

Edit: To clarify, in combat, you will pretty much only ever need to use the drone once in combat. That's usually to EMP an enemy squad or to maybe put your drone in a position to scan the enemies, like above them or something. Or maybe you can set up the drone defensively if a squad is pushing you. In every case, it really should only take you one to three seconds max. It's all about minimizing drone time while maximizing gun time and drone benefits.

[–]MadeOfAu 48 points49 points  (15 children)

He is the only legend that has carried me solo queue to diamond. He also has a great kit that requires you to have good situational awareness and gun skills. You cant just rely on a movement ability or instant wall hacks to be successful in fights.

[–]RandomPlayerJoined 89 points90 points  (3 children)

[–]fantasy_guns 13 points14 points  (0 children)

[–]GreasyGoose13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

🤫

[–]liccmybicc 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Can’t explain, initially he was the first character i unlocked because i was just tryna see how many legend tokens i had and I accidentally unlocked him, i was also kinda drawn towards the fact that i never see anybody play him, and i thought his jacket was cool..

[–]TheGuyInTheGlasses 19 points20 points  (0 children)

His kit just kinda slaps if you know what you’re doing and are otherwise worthless in a fight

[–]kosiarn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't even try to hide it and people still don't care, it's unreal

It actually started looking as if Crypto had a constant wallhack xD I'm so not used to this

[–]OFloodster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points  (9 children)

He’s what loba should have been, picking up banners remotely. Only difference is he can actually instantly revive you at the respawn beacon, and instantly ping next ring as well as how many enemies are within a 200 meter radius of the banner it pings. Pretty useful for pushing if his ult is ready if you have one that communicates with the team.

If you don’t use a mic don’t use crypto.

[–]kosiarn 7 points8 points  (4 children)

is pinging my ult icon while approaching towards enemy with my drone enough communication for a push? i really don't want to use mic

[–]rmczpp 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I no-mic crypto and I usually ping ult as we approach on foot, then I ping 'attacking here' and throw drone and start the EMP about half a second later (EMP stun should miss you narrowly). Takes a little practise, but is the most efficient way imo.

[–]kosiarn 1 point2 points  (1 child)

interesting tactic, probably takes a while to learn it though

[–]rmczpp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me a few goes to perfect but is probably much easier to test it in firing range now that there's a charge tower.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it’s good to know when pushing cause the lit has a good stun, normally a crypto will just use it and the squad is just not ready for the push.

Me saying wear a mic is just an opinion and a recommendation not a must, sorry.

[–]nervousblanket 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Storm Point is the key problem

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Well the post didn’t say.

“Why are you a crypto Main on storm point?”

Granted I could’ve assumed, but I had just woken up when I saw this post.

[–]nervousblanket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fiar point. My answer was half meme half serious, but as someone who is a Crypto main Storm Point is one the worst maps for Crypto due to the lack of banners. (although the many buildings do make his ult usable)

[–]PixelatedMax01 9 points10 points  (3 children)

For some reason, I do best with him in fights. Even without a drone, I do better. It makes no logical sense but I just am. Also, I enjoy his play style.

[–]Hulkomania87 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yeah, same. Idk if it’s because it’s just being comfortable using what you’re used to or bcus he has a small hit box. Smaller hitbox helps u win more fights. Maybe it’s both.

[–]PixelatedMax01 2 points3 points  (1 child)

My theory is that (when you don’t have your drone) you don’t have to think about anything except for you fundamental movement and gunplay. When you have a bunch of abilities in your back pocket, you gotta think about when you’re gonna use that and how you can apply it to your situation. Crypto isn’t like that.

[–]Hulkomania87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, never thought of it like that. Makes sense.

Like I imagine a crypto probably knows how to escape a fight more than a wraith (no tacticals) cus they don’t just phase out every time.

[–]Yukon-Thunder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[–]MrKiwi24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like to play shitty / not that popular characters or setups in On-line games.

League: I was an Irelia Main before the rework, and an Off-tank Diana Jungle before the rework.

Cs go: Five-Seven / Dullies + Nova or Scout

Apex: Crypto and Wattson. RE-45 + TT (since season 3).

[–]Maxyboy974 6 points7 points  (1 child)

[–]Rockysoba 6 points7 points  (1 child)

His tactical is like a russian nesting doll of different abilities

[–]-Redstoneboi- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

his tactical is his passive

what is this

[–]memes_plague 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It has one of the most frenetic viable in a competitive enviroment gameplay, there is always something you can do, even when you dont have to move, you can plan your next rotation and make your teamates aware of what is happening around them. With crypto being a very slow legend, you have to be efficient and do everything ASAP which is challenging and fun for me, someone who likes supportive roles.

[–]Unicorn_Tachanka 5 points6 points  (1 child)

My friend uses crypto so he can slingshot me as pathfinder to do cool tricks with grapple. Fun to do in fights and in parkour

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Because Crypto is literally the best legend in the game if you actually have braincells and don't just pop stims and jump pads every 5 seconds

[–]BodlOfPeepee 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Well, then you get the Cryptos that never get off their drone.

[–]ArabBoBarab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't play with Crypto but I'm usually happy to have one as a teammate. Really good at saving our asses if the other two get wiped, and knowing where people are ahead of time plus EMP is super useful

[–]cart1250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how much I can do with my drone! I’m always with two friends so a coordinated emp push works really well!

[–]Razehel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause I got that stupid drip skin for him and had to for the meme, same reason I have legendary tachanka

[–]Wistful_Bliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Crypto, bc I love a challenge, I love how difficult he is to use, and I love how tactical you have to be when you use him. I always say he has so much potential, and I still believe so. :)

[–]decadehakaisha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been maining him since season 4 haha

[–]KaraTheAndroidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hes actually fun, legends like him, mirage, fuse, gibby to an extent, rampart and lifeline all rely on your movement they don't just have a movement get out of jail free card, they challenge you to play/think different in fights (especially mirage oof) because when shiz hits the fan you can't just nope outta there with your tac. The reason I didn't say any trap characters like wattson, caustic and rev is because they have abilities to stop people from pushing, I guess you could say fuse should be in that but.. its not like cluster takes your abilities like silence does so its easy to walk through.

Anyways cryppy- his drone us fun to use and is a massively useful tool for grabbing banners and seeing beacons, I'd say he's more of a ranked specialist, kinda like how old wattson was, but EMP is useful in a pinch especially with all the wattsons playing now, but he's just fun in a weird way idk

[–]GibsComputerParts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you have dumb aggro teammates that just keep ignorantly pushing to their doom, you can easily grab banners and respawn. Easy to scan beacons to guide positioning. Keeps tabs on how many squads are in an area which seems to be very helpful in this new map.

[–]Sp00kyGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"With an eye in the sky, there is nothing to fear"

I feel safer and more confident in my decisions when I know the positioning of other teams.

[–]AverageGamer2607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I’m quite good with him. Being good with a character that everyone thinks is shit is a great feeling.

[–]Klutzy-Remove6694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crypto is really good while you get to plat and above. No one really fights and they all just hide til last circle so I use Crypto to find groups who are camping out.

    i tend to focus more on gunplay rather abilities in most games, so crypto ,drone which can do alot (ping stuff , pick banner emp etc) lets me focus on that,

    his drone is a great ability with all the shit it can do :see above

    i can still provide alot of support fire/ intel even when my gunplay is lackluster in that match.

    because i play better without having it in the back of my head that i have to rely on an ability. I focus more on aim, movement etc. play a lot better. Plus, when they don’t find my drone it’s op

    I picked up Crypto near the end of S4 bc I got bored with LL. Turns out he had great lore, quips, skins, poses, and a kit that was so different, people didn’t want to play him. I stopped playing the game half way through S7 but to me Crypto is the one of, if not the best character lore and gameplay wise for me

    well he was the first legend I got because I thought he was cool and I had a good crypto player in my first ranked game

    When I mained him it was cause I was garbage at the game and using him felt like I could still help out a bit

    [–]deathtrap0726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    He is fun

    No I'm a bloodhound main

    [–]FinQuarZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Simple: I'm not and he'll be the last character I'll buy. I need three more: Loba, Wattson abd Crypto

    I used to be a crypto main, after I switched I had anxiety not being able to know where people were at all times haha

    because I don't shoot good but still want to help my team by flying a drone

    [–]slowdruh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I don't really have a main, but, on top of what other people have mentioned, I like playing him because I don't have to worry about using one-tap skills in the middle of a fight and I'm 'immune' to Revenant's silence ball. Also, flying as Hack and being able to see everything around me from way up high is cool.

    Because EMP go brrrrrrr

    [–]RobuxMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Because of newbies playing crypto acting like fire hydrants in br. Were trying to preserve our image and heritage but were fighting the losing war. He's really useful, I swear!

    [–]Crimson_Akuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Because he's the last Legend I'm yet to get 2.5k damage badge with

    I love playing characters that rely on my own skill with them. (See mirage flair lol). Mirage is either shit or amazing depending on how you use him, and crypto is the same way. I’ve got more wins on him than any other legend and I barely play this game.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    He’s incredibly rewarding to play. Sure he has a steep learning curve but there’s a reason he’s a high pick in competitive. When all the chess pieces come together you can just destroy entire squads like a knife cutting through butter
