The Valorant PBE patch notes 8.03 have revealed a few changes being tested for the game's live version. Riot Games' mega thread shows that Chamber will receive some positive tweaks. The Agent has suffered a fall in his pick rate ever since his kit was tweaked. With the nerfs to his Headhunter and even Tour De Force, players began opting for other Sentinels. However, the new alterations are likely to make him viable and effective in the right hands.

This article lists the Valorant PBE patch notes 8.03 as released on February 9, 2024.

Here are the official PBE patch notes 8.03:

AGENT UPDATES

Chamber

Continuing with our recent focus on sharpening the strengths and weaknesses of the Sentinel role, this update aims to push Chamber’s ability to hold territory with his unique arsenal of weapons. The changes should provide you more access to the Headhunter (Q) as a save or sidearm without draining your econ and increase the clear strength of Chamber’s ultimate compared to the Operator.

  • Headhunter (Q): Price decreased 150 >>> 100
  • Tour De Force (X): Firing rate increased 0.7 >>> 0.9
