In this ring, the deadliest weapon isn’t a gun, it’s information. Crypto's new firmware update switches his role to aggressive intel-gathering, the Akimbo Wingman adds deadly precision firepower, and new Strongholds offer high-stakes, high-tier loot.
Decrypt the Battlefield
Thanks to a new firmware upgrade from his sister Mila, Crypto’s role has switched from passive to aggressive intel-gathering. His Surveillance Drone now runs on batteries instead of a cooldown, and the new Sentry Mode tags enemies in sight for you and your squad. Plus, his EMP Ultimate can now be deployed with the press of a button. You’ll know their next move before they do.
Wingmen Don’t Fly Solo
If the deadliest weapon is information, the second deadliest is dual-wielded revolvers. The Akimbo Wingman is a dangerous combo of precision and firepower. Take aim, choose your shots carefully, and be the dead-eyed sharpshooter you were born to be.
Raid New Strongholds
New Strongholds are the evolution of Care Packages, bringing high-tier, high-risk loot in a very loud package. Raid a Stronghold to haul out crate weapons, Corrupted Attachments, and EVO for your whole squad, but opening it takes time and trips an alarm that tells everyone nearby exactly where you are. Plan your heist and take the loot, or let another squad ring the dinner bell for you.
Revenant + Lifeline Rebooted
Play Revenant more aggressively with a shorter Ultimate cooldown, a quicker Tactical, and new Upgrades that extend your Ultimate with every knock. Keep your squad in the fight with Lifeline’s reduced cooldown on D.O.C. and self-heal while gliding, plus new Upgrades that add a shield while you revive a teammate and improve flight mobility.
Ranked Legend Bans
The Arena shifts every match with new Legend Bans in Diamond lobbies and above. Every player casts 1 vote to ban a Legend. The more votes a Legend gets, the greater the chance they’ll be banned for that match, so make sure you have a Plan B. Maybe a Plan C.
New Mythic Volt
Crypto’s digital fingerprints are all over this season’s new Mythic Volt SMG, the Cryptic Core, with a built-in PALS assistant rendered in glorious low-res pixel art. Reprogram the swarm with Exotic Shards: each retheme slams in a new retro game cartridge and switches the nanites to a new vibe and color. Available as a possible drop in Cipher Seasonal Packs*.
Suit Up in Nanotech Style
Unlock Legendary skins for Ash and Axle, a new Legendary Weapon Skin for the Triple Take, along with 10 Exotic Shards, and the Reactive Wingman skin at Tier 60 with the Cipher Premium Battle Pass Split 1.
*Not available in all regions.
