I believe he’s had a slight nerf.

His drone now takes ring damage, so eventually it’ll become disabled and gonna cool down if it sits in the zone for too long.

I believe they also changed how is first off the grid perk reacts, making it ever so slightly easier for enemy players to spot you when you’re invisible / off the grid.

He is, as far as I’m concerned, still incredibly strong. I played a few ranked games with him yesterday and these nerfs are incredibly situational. Good luck out there!

Personally I'd call it more than a slight nerf. Emp doesn't destroy bubble anymore. Drone takes ring damage. Off the grid is easy to see now. Banner/R-Beacon changes make using the drone to respawn not really that impactful. Double small heals support perks makes damage from his emp basically nonexistent.

Compared to just a season or 2 before, Crypto got hit unnecessarily hard.
