Best Crypto Skins Apex Legends

Crypto has countless skins for players to choose from in Apex Legends, but which of his cosmetics are the best and will make you stand out from the crowd in the Outlands?

Since his release all the way back in Season 3, Crypto has become an iconic character in the Apex Legends community. However, this has never been reflected in his pick rate.

Although Respawn tried to rejuvenate the Surveillance Expert’s popularity in Season 12 with a mini-rework, he’s still sitting at a 1.9% pick rate in the latter half of Defiance.

While he’s not contending for the top spots in the meta, Crypto has a small group of dedicated mains who are always looking to refine their skills with his kit and of course, collect all of his incredible cosmetics.

So, to help you pick the best skin for the Surveillance Expert, we’ve put together a list of the 10 best skins for Crypto.
