Crypto has struggled to find a place in the Apex Legends meta game, bereft as he is of strong movement abilities. Still, there are a few niche applications in which no Legend could do the job better.

This clip, posted to the Apex Legends subreddit March 5 by Cloud9's Apex Legends pro PVPX, shows one way to surprise other teams using Crypto's drone.

At the clip's start, Crypto's team has staked out an enemy team hunkered down in a nearby building. One of the enemy players has blocked the doorway with their body to prevent a push, but PVPX has other plans.

Rather than blow open the door and face the waiting enemies head on, he flies his drone around to the back of the building and enters through an unguarded door. He then flies up to the original, blocked door and opens it from the inside, allowing his teammate to instantly blast the now-exposed enemy player and take an easy squad wipe.
