Apex Players have discovered another clever trick in-game, with the Legend known as Crypto. The new trick allows players to quickly survey beacons, without having to be close to them.

Players will always have a use for survey beacons because they can be used strategically. Being able to access beacons are important in games like Apex Legends because in these type of hectic battle royale settings, it will allow you to stay a few steps ahead of your enemies.

And as Redditor smallpeepee_69 shows, if you cancel the animation correctly, Crypto will use the beacon faster than normal.

When it comes to the legend Crypto, he is actually one of three legends who has recon abilities, however, he has one ability that separates him from the others and that is his surveillance drone. Once you throw Crypto’s drone in the air and if you are in fair range, you can then fly over to the nearest survey beacon and scan it without having to take your character or team out into the open. Using Crypto’s drone cuts down on the scanning time by more than half of the time that it would take if a character themselves walked up and did it.

If used effectively, this trick is absolutely perfect for figuring out how to play going into your next ring.
