Steps to unlock the Definitely Not Cryptic Skin fast in Far Far West
Before anything else, it is important to know the actual requirement. To unlock the Definitely Not Cryptic Skin, you must kill 25,000 Cryptics (any kind). That is the full challenge tied to it.
It is a Legendary rarity skin with the description:
“The Cryptics’ most brilliant spy. He protects his secret identity by introducing himself as ‘Definitely not Cryptic’.”
Because 25,000 kills is a huge number, the goal is to clear enemies as quickly as possible in repeatable runs.

- Impulse Grenades for faster traversal.

Best spells to use against Cryptics in Far Far West
Thunder Strike and Wallo are the two spells that are the most important part of the method. Thunder Strike does massive damage and can wipe large groups of enemy packs almost instantly, which is exactly what this grind needs.
Without strong area clearing, the 25,000 kill requirement feels much slower.
How to farm Cryptics in Far Far West
Switch to Nightmare difficulty and head to either the Desert or the Far West map. Both are open enough that movement is not interrupted by terrain obstacles like mountains. Open maps are essential here because the method involves running through danger zones rather than fighting through them carefully.
The approach is straightforward: run into the first danger zone, use mobility to group as many Cryptics together as possible, take out any snipers first to reduce incoming damage, then drop a Thunder Strike into the group. One well-placed Thunder Strike into a clustered group can yield a massive kill count immediately. After clearing the danger zone, move to the next one and repeat.
After working through all four danger zones, die intentionally if needed to reset the run and start again. On Nightmare difficulty, the enemy density is high enough that the kill count builds extremely fast compared to lower difficulties. One run in this setup can clear well over 55 enemies in the first danger zone alone before the rest of the map is even reached.
