Poor old Cyrpto has one of worst pick rates in Apex Legends. He’s just not very good. But one of the few reasons you might still choose to play him is his unique ability to pick up banners from your teammates. Crypto can save his friends without needing to get close to danger, and that’s great. But the problem for Crypto? This ability won’t be unique for a long time…
New article for “Remote Banner Recover” leaks online
As reported by an Apex leaker who goes by the name Thordansmash, a new floor loot item has been discovered that allows players to remotely retrieve the banners of fallen teammates. The item footage he shared appears to show this new device fully intact and working in-game. So it’s not just a leaked copy of Respawn’s concept work, it’s an idea they actually produced in Apex Legends… only it doesn’t exist in the current version of Apex that the public is still playing. Here’s what the device looks like in the development version of Apex Legends:
What a weird new survival item for Apex Legends. I guess Crypto got his inheritance and Dev was like “lol look at this”. Credit @iLootGames pic.twitter.com/mlklLxIRqs

As you can see, it will compete with the mobile respawn beacon and heat sink for that valuable emergency gear slot. But compared to those last two items, it could honestly see more play. This could be especially useful for the new (and notoriously punish) in ranked mode because it is now so important to stay alive to earn RP.
We’ll let you know as soon as we know more about this strange new device. Currently, we expect it to be released at the same time as the new season later this summer. Until then, you have just enough time to grind the Battle Pass and earn it Ridiculously cool Bloodhound skin. Good luck!
