his symbol reappeared on Apex Legends professional player Coby \"dizzy\" Meadows' stream yesterday. During a trios match, dizzy and his NRG teammates Marshall Mohr and streamer Mason \u201csymfuhny\u201d Lanier went up against enemy players inside a cave. When dizzy approached a small house, a cryptic red overlay started to appear on his stream.\u00a0 After the cryptic messages started to dissipate, an eerie red symbol emerged with the numbers \u201c3333\u201d shown in the center of the screen.\u00a0 This is most likely a tease for Crypto since this symbol is strikingly familiar to the one seen at the end of the official backstory video for the character. During the video, the symbol flashes on the screen before the Apex logo is shown. It shows a menacing robot-like face with a hood on top and electrical wiring throughout.\u00a0 This symbol is synonymous with Crypto because he's a hacker who's looking to seek revenge on a mysterious Mercenary Syndicate that took \u201ceverything\u201d from him.\u00a0 Respawn was likely just teasing Crypto through dizzy\u2019s stream and this isn't an actual feature in-game.

This symbol is synonymous with Crypto because he’s a hacker who’s looking to seek revenge on a mysterious Mercenary Syndicate that took \u201ceverything\u201d from him.\u00a0<\/p>

Respawn was likely just teasing Crypto through dizzy\u2019s stream and this isn’t an actual feature in-game. This is most likely the case because dizzy was unfazed by the symbol, suggesting that it was shown through his PC rather than his game. Due to this stream being sponsored, Respawn could be partnering with dizzy to promote Crypto and his abilities, especially his ability to hack into whatever he pleases.\u00a0<\/p>
