Crypto is on the rise after the Apex Legends Season 23 update buffed the character with a new perk upgrade that allows players to go invisible while droning. This Recon legend is capable of tracking and revealing the live location of enemy players in an area with his signature ability.

Apex Legends has over 20 different characters with five different categories in the roster. Each of these legends can be picked to create unique team tactics with Crypto - be it defensive or aggressive. This article will highlight the five best duo for Crypto in Apex Legends.

What are the best duo picks for Crypto in Apex Legends?
1) Loba
Trending
Loba is a Support character who can use her signature ability to quickly relocate from one position to another. This can be used to catch up and surprise enemy players as they are detected by Crypto’s drone. Alternatively, this can be used to retreat and help Crypto as players if they are attacked by a different team.

Crypto can now enjoy being closer to the gunfights as the new perk allows players to become invisible while operating the drone. The drone can be used to survey nearby areas and tag the location of the opponents. This can then be used to initiate team fights and quickly take the higher ground with the help of Loba's tactical teleport ability.
Moreover, Loba's Black Market can provide Crypto with unrestricted access to Ultimate Accelerants which can be used to rapidly charge by the EMP blast from the drone. This can help the squad to stay prepared for any form of battle as Cypto's ultimate can eat away a chunk of the enemy's shields.
2) Pathfinder
Pathfinder can enable the team to take action on Crypto’s information. Players can also use aggressive strategies with this combo by grappling toward detected enemies and scoring easy eliminations. This can be further combined with grenade spams to drive enemies out of corners without wasting much resources.
Pathfinder can be played as one of the most aggressive characters in the game because of the tactical grapple ability. It is a great tool that can be used to initiate fights and retreat from dangerous situations with ease. This can be combined with Crypto's ability to detect enemies and isolate gunfights with any player who is away from their team.
Pathfinder's ultimate ability is great to quickly close distance and take high ground. This can be deployed alongside Crypto's ultimate to disorient enemies and catch them off-guard. It also becomes a quick path that this Recon legend can take as the character has to remain stationary while using the drone.
3) Fuse
Fuse is a useful character that you can pick from the Assault category for poking enemy teams. Crypto can easily detect opponents in a limited range and provide their exact locations, making it easier for Fuse to throw the tactical ability, farm free damage, and level up the shields. This is also a great way to deplete the enemy's healing resources in the final zones.

Crypto's ultimate can be paired with Fuse's ultimate ability to trap enemies in a small zone. This is a great tactic when participating in team fights on open grounds. The Crypto ultimate eats away a chunk of their shields and slows their movement speed while Fuse's flames can deal heaps of damage. This can be used to score easy kills as Fuse's ultimate also highlights enemies that are close to the flame circle.
4) Octane
Octane provides one of the highest modes of mobility to the team with his ultimate ability. This is a great tool that can be used to initiate team fights and also retreat to safety in case the situation becomes disadvantageous. Having a Crypto on the team eliminated the hassle of needing to check corners, making it easier for the squad to take map control when repositioning into the safe zones.
Octane can also put down the jump pad to quickly enter fights once Crypto uses his ultimate to disorient teams. Crypto can then use the same pad to catch up and assist the team in the gunfight without being left behind. This makes it easier for the trio to gain information while being on the move. Moreover, Crypto can scan beacons and relay crucial positional information of enemies in the vicinity.
5) Mad Maggie
Mad Maggie, similar to Fuse, is a poking character that can draw enemies out of their hiding corners and is efficient when using a shotgun. This is a good tactic that you can use during the final zones to damage enemies hiding behind walls and other covers. Crypto players can detect and highlight enemies with his drone and help Maggie land her tactical abilities accurately.

Mad Maggie's ultimate ability has a disorienting effect similar to Crypto's ultimate. Both these tools can be combined to daze opponent teams and quickly score a squad wipe without taking much damage. However, this might be problematic when dealing with enemies inside buildings as Maggie's ultimate can bounce back and stun the team instead.
