I saw a lot of discussion about how Crpyto could be an “off the grid” type of character. From the pinned comment with all the dev replies I saw that there was arguments about how anti scan characters are poorly designed and that a passive shouldn’t counter a kit. I made a drawing to illustrate how they could buff Cryptos tactical. (I’m sorry if this is stealing somebody’s idea by the way I didn’t go through all the comments)

My drawing :)

So basically the drone would create a 10 m radius deadzone that could prevent scans from seeing inside. The scanner can see that there’s a deadzone (i’d almost say that the scan would function similar to going over terrain in that sense)and knows there’s probably people inside but can’t wall hack. They have no idea if they’re looting or 3 stack aiming the door. (Also it wouldn’t obstruct true line of sight,it just wouldn’t outline and highlight them. I couldn’t really convey that in my drawing.) It would only work when the drone is out. That makes it part of the tactical and not just a passive, and is in line with the flavor of an “off the grid” character. The counter play is to kill the drone. That’s in line with the usual Crypto counter play.

Obviously I am not a game designer so there are details I haven’t looked at, but I just wanted to toss my idea out here before I went to work.
