If these details about his abilities are true, then Crypto’s abilities would seemingly function like a fusion between Genji and Sombra from Overwatch: a sword-wielding cyborg who can deflect enemy gunfire and who also happens to be an elite hacker capable of disrupting enemies.Ĭrypto's 'Death Sword' is featured in the 'Apex Legends' Season 2 logo. The going theory is that Crypto is the character featured in Pathfinder concept art for the game, he wields a sword that’s part of the Season 2 logo, and his other abilities involve jamming enemy abilities. Referencing leaked information from Apex Legends data-miner FrozenFroh reveal that “Crypto’s teaser file was added in the Legendary Hunt update” that was released in early June. (This same Reddit user accurately predicted the L-STAR, Wattson, and the presence of Leviathans and Flyers in a March post.) Potential spoilers follow for Apex Legends Season 2.Įarlier this month, redditor u/FrozenFroh shared a popular theory to the Apex Legends subreddit about how the start of Season 2 might include a tease for Crypto, and that the character’s actions behind-the-scenes could have a huge impact on the game’s overall story. He’s a sword-wielding hacker that could be Apex Legends’ first cool villain, and he may already be hiding in plain site. Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has already confirmed that Wattson, a character who wields electric barriers, would be the new Legend to arrive in Season 2, but recent leaks indicate that a second hero named Crypto might also be on the way.
