Riot Games has finally announced the new sentinel agent Chamber, which will be coming to VALORANT on November 16.
Chamber is a "well-dressed and well-armed" French weapons designer equipped with a deadly arsenal of weapons and abilities. This “gentleman assassin” enjoys the finer things in life and takes all the details into account when shooting the perfect shot.
Chamber has one of the most exciting kits in VALORANT, as he has two unique weapons perfect for holding an area by himself. Chamber's Trademark ability allows players to place a trap that scans enemies. When an enemy is within visible range, the trap counts down and destabilizes the area around it when it explodes. This creates a “permanent field that slows down players who get stuck in it”.
The Headhunter ability gives Chamber a heavy pistol with a sub-fire ADS option. This is an excellent backup plan and can change the course of players' pistol or save rounds.
The Rendezvous ability allows Chamber to place two teleport anchors. While in range of an anchor, players can reactivate it to teleport to the other anchor. Anchors can also be retrieved and redeployed.
Finally, the Chamber's Tour de Force ultimate ability summons a powerful, special sniper rifle that kills any enemy in one shot as long as it's a direct hit. Killing an enemy creates the same area as the Trademark ability.
Chamber has been stressing for months. The actors noticed a well-dressed character in the Year One Anthem video, and the name Deadeye was written next to a gun. The Fracture trailer is narrated by a person with a French accent, and two gun cases found off the map suggest the narrator was responsible for firing the two bullets that destroyed the facility.
The State of Agents September update also concluded with a picture showing a French word and a fancy business card, matching the character's fancy attire seen in the Year One Anthem video. Patch 3.08 also introduced a new audio teaser at the Shooting Range where players can hear fancy music from behind a closed door.
Chamber will release on November 3.10, two weeks after Episode Three, Act Three, in the Patch 16 update.
