He is fucking with the portal, and it says something about "world's edge". Maybe we're heading to a new location in S3, would be great.Fucking awesome.
Interested to see how his drone is implemented.
Super speculation: I wonder if Crypto will lead to Kings Canyon getting shut down and the Games being moved to a new map.
Holy shit I just wiped a full squad in Pit and my location challenge still says 0/4 I'm so fucking mad right now I've been trying to get that one for weeks.
Yeah, didn't realize how essential it was until I stopped randomly punching the air when I turned the stick too fast and instead crouched.So you have slide/crouch on the stick or on B/O?
Imo, sliding with the stick is probably the most essential thing in this game since the ability to strafe and maneuver while aiming is invaluable.
Yeah i saw him, he looks like a Star Wars character! He has a droid!
Crypto is in the Labs area in the secret room where you find the Wraith story audio clip. You have to be quick because as soon as you see him, he gets off!

I dont think anyone knows.Do you get a ranked reward based on how high you got or where you're currently at when the season ends?
Technically, both? There is no tier demotion, only your numbered rank can drop. So the current tier (Bronze-Silver-Gold-ETC) your on is what you'll be rewarded up to.Do you get a ranked reward based on how high you got or where you're currently at when the season ends?
I'm pretty sure you can drop from, for example, platinum down to gold (if that's what you meant by no tier demotion).Technically, both? There is no tier demotion, only your numbered rank can drop. So the current tier (Bronze-Silver-Gold-ETC) your on is what you'll be rewarded up to.

I could have sworn I've played with someone that was in platinum, but dropped back to gold the next time I saw them. But I guess I'm mistaken. That's good to know."There is currently no demotion if you drop into a lower tier, so if you earn your way into Platinum IV, no amount of losses will demote you back to Gold I – you are guaranteed to finish that Series in Platinum. However, demotion is possible between divisions, so if you're Gold II and fall below 380 RP, you will move back down to Gold III. (We may revisit demotions in the future based on data we get from our first Series.)"
Yeah I'm kicking myself for not playing enough Ranked early on. Not only are Silver matches not great, the queue can take hours during the day.I didn't play much ranked when it came out and I am really regretting that now cuz my silver (I think) matches have been significantly worse than in casual lol
So I'm basically standing still in ranked points for an hour and a half of playtime. Then we finally catch a break in a game or two and get some RP. "If I can get a max points win in the next match, I get exactly enough for 1000 RP total, aka I get to Apex Predator. Good luck with that, though..." But then I freaking get it.
389 total ranked games played, 55 wins.
The next five games we get wins, top 3, I get a bunch of kills every time. It's amazing how much easier and better it felt once I finally didn't have to stress over points. Sitting at 1029 RP now and Predator matches have a 5 RP entry cost!
So, this just dropped from no where.
Damn, I am hyped for Crypto.
Some updates for Ranked Series 2:
Rewarding Assists is a step in the right direction as what I wanted was half an RP given to every player for every squad kill.
Thanks for sharing.
That multiplier for wins/kills is exactly what the game needed. And changing the scale makes sense.
In theory, this now rewards kills and placement.
If you get 5 kills/assists and finish 1st? You get 225 points.
If you get 0 kills/assists and finish 1st? 100 points.
5 kills/assists and finish 3rd? 140 points.
I am hoping this will mix the meta up a little, where camping helps with placement... but reduces chance for kills, therefore not getting the most out of your multiplier.
Playing with aggression and not for placement? Again, you get kills, but lose out on the bigget multiplier.
If you are strike the balance and play aggressive to win, you can really earn those ranking points.
I keep forgetting that the Kraber wasn't anti-titan.So hyped for all those season 3 news! Ranked needed a rework and I'm extremely happy with what we've got.
But the best news is that there will be no down time between seasons as the third one lands on October 1st!
Though the Charge Rifle being the new gun... I wonder how that's gonna go down, it's the first anti-titan weapon to be brought over to Apex.
