Chamber has undoubtedly been probably the most polarizing agent in VALORANT historical past. From the confusion that his talents had been simply extra weapons to him utterly taking up the meta for over a yr straight, the Frenchman has at all times had eyes turning his method.
That’s till Riot brought down the hammer on Chamber in December of 2022 with Patch 5.12. This patch considerably nerfed Chamber after months of attempting smaller tweaks to his package, and in a flash, he was out of the meta.
Although some rejoice within the peace of peeking lengthy angles with out worrying a couple of Tour de Drive hiding within the nook, others assume Chamber’s nerfs had been simply an excessive amount of. Fortunately for the latter group of gamers, it appears like Riot is lastly able to convey Chamber out of the basement with the upcoming Patch 6.12.
This patch will launch on the PBE on Might 29, and if the modifications end result as Riot intends, they’ll doubtless undergo to the principle recreation as properly.
According to VALORANT Community Manager Jo-Ellen Aragon, the next buffs may be anticipated to roll out for Chamber.
Upcoming Chamber buffs:
- Trademark: Vary elevated from 4,000 to five,000 items, lure arm velocity decreased from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
- Rendezvous: Can now immediately equip weapons after teleporting.
- Tour de Drive: Fireplace price elevated by 15%.
Going from two infinite-range Emblems to 1 at a really quick vary, the most recent iteration of Chamber’s most Sentinel-like capability will lie someplace within the center. The vary will probably be elevated, and the lure’s response time will probably be decreased, which means it should detect enemies sooner. It is a nice step in the precise path for Chamber, particularly as a result of a lot of the critique he has acquired is that his talents don’t characterize him as a sentinel.
His teleport will even get a big buff, as he can now instantly equip weapons—a pistol, rifle, knife, Headhunter, or Tour de Drive—straight out of teleporting. No extra ready round simply to die after you employ your Rendezvous.
The hearth price of the Tour de Drive can be getting a buff, as the last word has mainly been a glorified Operator lately. Now the last word will probably be extra helpful than simply having your Jett peek mid and hope she doesn’t drop an almost 5000-credit weapon.
All of those buffs ought to ideally put Chamber in a spot the place it has greater than a 3-percent pick rate with out getting chosen on each single map for all doable compositions.
