Valorant patch 4.09 nerfs Chamber and changes Fade VFX

Valorant has seen a lot of excitement recently thanks to the addition of the game’s nineteenth agent, Fade. This powerful agent can track enemies down with ease, and keep them under control for other agents to take out quickly. Her addition has been well received by the community, and the only changes to her abilities in patch 4.09 are to the VFX.

Chamber wasn’t so lucky, as this patch rebalances his top-tier Trademark ability, nerfing it significantly. This ability lays a trap that slows opponents who get too close, but it was proving far too effective compared to other Sentinel tools. To keep it under control, the ability’s Cred cost has been increased, its uses have been reduced, and the range from which it can be heard has been increased, making it much easier to detect.
