Riot Games has been on cloud nine with the massive popularity of its 5v5 tactical FPS game Valorant. The developers have added various new maps and agents since the initial public release last year. Now, after various leaks and teasers, Riot has finally confirmed its next new agent for Valorant. Named Chamber, the new Sentinel-class character is a classy French weapon designer who brings a unique skill set to the game. So, here’s everything you need to know about Chamber in Valorant.
New Valorant Agent: Chamber
Riot has been teasing its next Valorant agent for the longest time, leaving breadcrumbs in the game and promotional content. Prior to the official unveiling, the upcoming agent leaked with the codename “Deadeye”. However, we now know that his actual name is Chamber and he is a weapons expert and a designer of custom weaponry from Paris. Check out the official reveal trailer for the upcoming Valorant agent Chamber right below.

Rendezvous (E)Trademark (C)Headhunter (Q)Tour de Force (X)
Riot’s Valorant has adopted a weapon-first approach with Chamber when it comes to his abilities. As usual, you have four unique abilities for Chamber. They are named Rendezvous, Headhunter, Trademark, and Tour de Force. You can check out the details about each of the abilities right below:
Rendezvous is primarily a teleportation ability, much like Yoru’s Gatecrash ability, that allows Chamber to place two anchor points at different locations in a map. During a round, when the agent is in range of any of the placed Rendezvous anchors, he can reactivate them to instantly teleport himself to the respective anchor point.
If an anchor remains unused during the round, Chamber can pick it up and redeploy them, presumably, after a short cooldown timer in Valorant.
Trademark is a trapping ability that works like the combination of Killjoy’s Alarmbot and Sage’s Slow Orb. With this one, Chamber can place an alarmbot-like device that will scan its surrounding for enemies.
When an enemy nears a trap, it will destabilize the terrain around its area after a short countdown. This will slow down enemies and prevent them from running into a specific area, giving you a chance to take them out.
Using the Headhunter ability, Chamber can equip a full-fledged gun to take down enemies. So, with this ability, Chamber would be able to invoke a heavy pistol that looks like a Sheriff (one of the weapons in Valorant) with a high-end skin.
Tour de Force (X)
Tour de Force is the ultimate ability of Chamber in Valorant and lets him invoke a sleek, customized sniper rifle. It is equipped with five one-shot bullets. Stressing on the term “one-shot” here as the bullets will kill an enemy with just one shot, whether it hits the head, body, or the legs. You just need to connect the shot to take down enemies. Furthermore, with every kill, the ability will also create a lingering field. It will slow down enemies caught inside of it.
So, as you can imagine, it is a combination of the Operator (in-game weapon) and the one-shot golden gun that is present in the Spike Rush mode in Valorant. And as the Operator is a pretty high-priced gun, even after a recent price decrease, Tour de Force will be a great ability to have when you would want to Op but won’t have the credits to buy one.
Chamber: Availability (Delayed)
Now, coming to the availability situation of Chamber, Riot usually releases new agents or maps with the renewal of its Battlepass seasons i Valorant. However, this time around, the developers have decided to release the upcoming agent two weeks after the new season goes live.
