Apex Legends Season 31 Reworks Crypto and Adds Akimbo Wingman

Key Facts

  • Apex Legends Season 31 Cipher opens November 4 at 3:00 AM Japan time.
  • Respawn Entertainment developed Apex Legends with Electronic Arts as publisher.
  • Crypto drone runs on battery for 25 seconds and marks enemies through walls for 8 seconds.
  • Crypto can activate EMP with one button press when charged and drone is ready.
  • Akimbo Wingman fires two guns in rapid succession with one trigger pull.

Crypto now fights on the front lines with a battery powered drone that auto marks enemies through walls and an instant EMP. The Akimbo Wingman fires both guns with one trigger for double damage with stronger recoil.

Crypto is not fully hidden while driving the drone. A glitch effect with noise crosses the screen at intervals, so a close watcher can still spot him, and hits damage him as normal.

The drone runs on battery for 25 seconds and marks enemies in its line of sight through walls for 8 seconds. EMP can fire with one button press when charged and the drone is ready, which allows breaking armor before a push. The Akimbo Wingman fires two shots per trigger pull, which doubles impact but also stacks vertical recoil and makes long range headshots hard.
