His drones will only be up for a short period of time before the ability enters a cooldown. But the fact that they automatically follow around your enemies should make them a little easier to use. Especially on a mobile device. In addition to his passive Neurolink ability, Crypto has two other main abilities to keep track of. His tactical ability, called Surveillance Drone, is similar to the Neurolink ability except you can pilot this drone. Lastly there’s his ultimate ability called Drone EMP, which not only deals damage to shields, but also disables traps and slows enemies.

Crypto drops into Apex Legends Mobile on August 23

Before you rush out to acquire Crypto, he’s not joining the Apex Legends Mobile roster until tomorrow, August 23. Since he’s part of the Hyperbeat event that drops the same day. In addition to introducing the release of Crypto, the Hyperbeat event also adds in some other content for players. This includes a series of new playable events, which will be spread out over the course of the Hyperbeat event. Naturally there’s also a new battle pass to work your way through. So playing semi often throughout this event is a good way to ensure you complete the pass. If you aim to do so whenever a new one arrives. Respawn also says there’s going to be a new ranked split and some updates to the core systems of the game. And everything goes live around 5pm PST. There’s no doubt going to be a sizeable update to install, so be prepared for that if you want to get in and play the new content as early as you can.
