Crypto’s bottom pick rate for Apex Legends could force Respawn into another buff

Crypto might need another buff in Apex Legends as some fans are still not thrilled with his Season 12 changes and his pick rate is way down again.

Aside from the arrival of Mad Maggie and the new Control LTM, one of the other big buzzes in Apex Legends Season 12 was the long-awaited Crypto overhaul.

The security expert, who has been with Apex since Season 3, has long been promised an update by Respawn, mainly to make his drone ability a bit stronger. He got that in Season 12, as Crypto Mains can now use the drone’s ability without having to station in a corner.

Despite the initial excitement, however, Crypto has slipped back down to the low end of Apex Legends’ pick rate charts, and fans believe he’s already in need of another round of changes.

Already released in Season 3, Crypto has been in need of changes for a while.

Redditor Waxowalter was one of those Apex fans, highlighting the fact that Crypto’s pick rate is back in the toilet after previously skyrocketing at the start of the new season.

A handful of players were quick to suggest improving the Legend, as the recent change only made it even more “clunky” to use. “He should throw the drone a longer distance than Mirages’ decoy,” one player suggested. “This drone needs to fly so much faster,” added another, noting that the increased visibility actually “weakened” Crypto a bit.
