Just before Season 2, Apex Legends has been hiding more and more teasers and hints about another legend. This is Crypto, who apparently will be significantly responsible for the upcoming changes in the game itself.
Who is Crypto? Crypto is a new legend in Apex Legends, who was already found in a larger leak shortly after the release of Apex Legends during datamining. Recently, players have found laptops in King’s Canyon that pointed to him.
Since Octane and Wattson were present in the same leak and all predictions so far have been correct, it suggests that the information about Crypto is also true.
In one of the newly released trailers for Season 2, a person triggers an EMP using a laptop. Many suspect that this is Crypto.
Crypto appears to be a hacker who is responsible for the Repulsor collapsing in Season 2 and significantly changing the map. The Repulsor was responsible for keeping the giant creatures and dragons of King’s Canyon at bay.
Additionally, the character has apparently been visible to everyone since the start of the game – it’s just that no one really paid attention. In an artwork of Pathfinder, there are banners in the background that are supposed to represent Crypto.
Release and Skills of Crypto
What are Crypto’s abilities? So far, nothing concrete is known about the abilities of the new legend. From the files found, nothing could be derived for Crypto. However, his abilities based on the known hints and videos suggest his skills:
- Crypto is skilled with computers – perhaps a skill similar to Pathfinder’s “Inside Knowledge”
- He apparently has EMPs, as he was responsible for the collapse of the Repulsor
- EMPs could block enemy abilities or even shields
His entire kit sounds like he is responsible for scouting and eliminating fortified positions. He would be an offensive legend that should be particularly effective against the fortified positions of the defensive legend Wattson.
Will Crypto make it into Season 2? There is currently no release date for Crypto. Many fans suspect that he will still appear in Season 2. However, Season 1 already had only one legend with Octane, and Wattson is already confirmed for Season 2.
Season 2 is also expected to undergo some changes, which should improve it compared to Season 1. Perhaps we will learn more about Crypto this evening when Season 2 starts:
