Apex Legends datamine hints at the possible introduction of Cryo grenades

Apex Legends Season 10 has got off to a relatively good start, devoid of any major game-breaking bugs. But while Respawn is already working on nerfing Seer's abilities, the community's attention has been drawn elsewhere.
That's because 'Shrugtal', a notorious Apex Legends dataminer has uncovered references in the game's code to a new grenade. This grenade is apparently called the "Cryo" and it looks like a Thermite grenade, but with an icy-blue colour scheme.
Shrugtal says he spotted this when a new point of view model was added to the game, but believes it to be in "very early dev status" based on the dull skin colours. However, another Apex Legends leaker 'iLootGames' says this grenade is actually being playtested right now and instead of burning players, it actually "freezes" them.
