    As a Crypto main, I love the new crypto buffs. Forgot to add this: I go with the 25% larger passive and ult since I'm already good at flying his drone, and the hackathon one. The 1.5 second scan duration is nice, but 20 second cool down and speed boost is just better in my opinion

      Only reason why i go drone handling bcos in theory bigger it seems better but when u think about it. His ult is already big enough to do EVERYTHING you need it to do and with a bigger ult you have to wait at a further range (just outside the radius) to avoid the dmg/slow effect.
      Even tho I am good enough to handle the drone reguardless I am like eh why not maybe i can do some better movement stuff with it with better handling etc. Paired with me being good and handling it

      no hate to tgm but yeah I agree. I don't even carry ammo for my slings because it's unnecessary. You play Apex perfectly fine with just two weapons usually. So for the third weapon I get the most benefits using something like mozam, alternator, re, or even p2020. All weapons that get great hop ups when Ballistic pops his ultimate. Essentially if you're gonna fill the sling slot ask yourself "what weapon benefits most from being gold and otherwise works great with my ult" not "what weapon is already great that I can add to my inventory"

    Ballistic is ranked too low. His ability to pressure and open fights is underrated. The fact Octane would be above any of these legends, except maybe Ash, shows the legends you play more often. Crypto, Newcastle, Mirage, and Ballistic are all better options than Octane.

    When playing Ash choose the Greedy Snare perk. It increases the damage potential of snare immensely due to an unintended effect of it being able to hit twice.
    The flying snare and the snare that lands on the floor are two separate entities. So if an enemy gets hit by the snare while it’s flying, then are standing where the snare lands, they’ll take 40 damage. This also goes for any teammates nearby.

    As a crypto main, I prefer the right upgrades. After all these years I’m used to the ult range, so the improved drone handling just makes me more efficient. The only thing that’s annoying is that it calls out the squad count every time you throw it. I’m more aggressive so after throwing out my drone consistently it gets ridiculous.

    Merchant: "... i would say, Balistics changes are like... decent enough... not a massive amount to be honest... doesn't feel super amazing, but small upgrades, you know..."
    Also Merchant: *plays with the only weapon in the sling that does not get upgraded at all till gold from his ult* xD
    But honestly, its super OP for weapons like the flatline or hemlok, because they are fully upgraded *at base* with your armor level when you put them in the sling! The best thing is the free 2x scope tho. Very nice for AR's and you also don't have to deal with horrible iron sights for weapons like the G-7 or the mozambik anymore.
