Crypto is in need of a buff in order to increase his play rate through his unique usefulness, namely his recon drone. Given that Crypto's Drone is named Hack, it should be such that it can be used to hack placed equipment during a firefight so that Hack will be more useful during engagements than just detecting where the enemy is located (which don't get me wrong, is very useful).
Proposed changes to Hack:
Rampart Amped Cover:
-Flip the direction of Amped Cover.
Caustic Gas Trap:
-Gas Trap act as if a Caustic was on your squad and placed the trap.
Wattson Proximity Security:
-Each node attached to the Hacked node composing a Proximity Security will be flipped to act as though a Wattson on your squad placed the security.
Given that most of the other placed equipment is usable by all squads no matter who placed it, a hack may not make sense unless it was an added feature or effect. Possible hacks:
Proximity Destruction:
-When approached by an enemy squad equipment will self destruct, damaging all enemies within the range.
-Could be used on all placed equipment that does not have a set duration (Loba's Black Market, Octane's Jump Pad, Lifeline Care Package, etc)
Shutdown:
-Hacked equipment is powered down.
-Could be used on all placed equipment that have a duration(Gibraltar's Dome, Lifeline's Drone, Revenant's Totem, etc)
Another interesting change specific to Lifeline's Drone would be changing it from healing to damage and vice versa, but this would require much more extensive changes than the proposed above hacks.

I like your "HACK" Idea, give your XP, especially caustic hack.
Imagine Caustic has put all the traps, suddenly drone hack them, and enemy team mate didn't know, they got gased, it could be suprising ambush, love it.
If the gas are close to each other, drone could hack one then move to next one, and the whole room is full of gas, gonna be hilarious !
To balance it, the caustic should say something: One of my traps has been hacked and dissapear from the map. Good team mate will pay attention to it, bad one simply got confused since they have to see the map and trap, see if this's belong to them.

Rampart wall hack is good idea but it's hard to use since enemy ussually standing just behind it and they will shoot the drone before even close to it.

@hayhor People suggested this in the past, but we got push back since it's basically neurtrilize bangelore smoke, worst than BH scan/ultimate. since you can't see/shot the drone but they can fully see you.
