FAQs

Can Krypto be eliminated?

No, Krypto is completely invincible. No weapons, items, or vehicles affect him.

Do Sprites ever collide or cancel each other?

Nope – laser beams pass through each other without issue.

Is the Tracking Visor overpowered?

Yes. With a 25-second cooldown and wallhack effect, it’s one of the most busted items in the game.

Can you use Base Boost for chest looting?

Yes for regular chests, no for Hero Rank caches. You still need the required rank to open those.

Not really. Their visibility and aim control are poor, making them less useful in most situations.
