Riot Games are getting set to unleash Valorant’s 17th agent into the world and they go by the name of ‘Chamber’, but what can we expect from the new character, what will the key abilities be and how will it change how we play the game? Let’s find out.
Valorant Chamber release date
You won’t have to wait long for Chamber’s appearance which was originally penned in to be at the start of Episode 2 Act 3 which launched tomorrow (November 2). this has however now been pushed back until patch 3.10 on November 16th.

While this may be disappointing for some players the character designers have said that this to allow them to get some final polish into Chamber so it will definitely be worth the wait.
Valorant Chamber Abilities
Okay, so we already know what we are going to get with Chamber, so let’s have a look at the full list of abilities.
- (C) Trademark – Place a trap that scans for enemies. When a visible enemy comes in range, the trap counts down and then destabilizes the terrain around them, creating a lingering field that slows players caught inside of it.
- (Q) Headhunter – Activate to equip a heavy pistol. ALT FIRE with the pistol equipped to aim down sights.
- (E) Rendezvous – Place two teleport anchors. While on the ground and in range of an anchor, REACTIVATE to quickly teleport to the other anchor. Anchors can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
- (X) Tour de Force – Activate to summon a powerful, custom sniper rifle that will kill an enemy with any direct hit. Killing an enemy creates a lingering field that slows players caught inside of it.
It will take a little time for players to best work out how to play with Chamber and like with any new character launch there will doubtless be tweaks to abilities to get the balancing just right. We are hoping that this short delay to the release will see a lot of the usual things ironed out before we even get to play the new role.
