Apex Legends New Character Crypto Abilities Concept

Hey Guys sethly here back with another apex legends video, I hope you guys are all having a fantastic day. In this video we are going to be covering crypto and the abilities he is going to have when he is added in to the game. So as you guys know, crypto has been leaked for some time now and Ill show a leaked picture of him on screen and his laptop teaser was just recently added in to the game but he was also just officially shown for the first time in the season 2 cinematic trailer. As you guys can see, in the trailer, crypto is the one to detonate and EMP from his laptop that destroys the repulsor tower and allows the leviathans and flyers to invade Kings Canyon and take over. So as of right now we don't know a ton about the details of crypto but we do know a few things from leaks. But first I want to show the original leaked photo of crypto and as you guys can see he looks a bit different in the trailer, so FrozenFroh actually made an updated version of what crypto could look like so full credit to him for that, it looks really good. But lets get on to the interesting stuff. Crypto and his abilities. Before I get in to that I want to tell you guys my opinion on his release date because I know a lot of you guys are going to comment about that. So Im pretty sure Wattson was originally planned for season 1 but they had to push that back so I think they will have at least 2 legends coming in Season 2, Wattson and Crypto so I think Crypto will probably be released around the halfway point of the Season. Lets get on to some leaks and concepts for Crypto's abilities. First off, full credit to @that1miningguy for the leaks. Go check him out link in the description. Also some of the concept abilities are from FrozenFroh as well so make sure to check him out in the description. In the trailer, crypto inserts a chip into his laptop and you can see him detonating the EMP but if you look in the middle of the screen there is some sort of logo and I gotta be honest. I think the logo totally looks like an ultimate ability logo so I wouldn't be surprised if that was used for his ultimate. So we know he is some sort of technological guy and has a sword but how could those aspects translate into abilities. Well That1miningguy found some unused logos in the files that look like some unfinished ability icons that could be used for crypto. The first one looks like some sort of shield and I think that could be his passive ability, T1MG said he thinks a good concept for that would be like octane's passive but instead Crypto slowly regains shield over time. The second icon that was found in the files could relate to his EMP as it looks like some sort of explosion like an EMP. My guess is that his ultimate will be related to this EMP ability and T1MG and Frozen came up with a concept that his ultimate EMP could 1) Disables huds and sights / shields
2) Disables huds and sights / skills
3) Disables shields / skills.
Personally I think all 3 of these concepts for his ultimate are very likely but I think the one that makes the most sense would be that his ultimate EMP disables enemy sights/reticles and huds as well as possible prevents them from using their ultimates and abilities for a short period of time. I think that making his ultimate have the ability to remove enemy shields for a short period of time is a bit unlikely and could be overpowered. Lets get on to his tactical, well his tactical could be a number of things but their were some files found that reference a sword and emp. That1mining guy said this is nowhere near a confirmation but more speculation based on these files but their is a possibility that his tactical was some sort of ability where he uses his sword and the files show that the sword would have some sort of emp sound effects. Obviously none of this is confirmed but I think all of these concepts, files, and teasers combined together form a pretty good guess of what we can expect for crypto when he is released.
