This Friday (6), Riot Games released the information regarding the 5.12 update of Valorant, its first person shooting game.
Among the most relevant novelties are the Chamber’s widespread nerf and a damage reduction for Specter, as the weapon was ‘superior to medium to long distances’.
The characters each and Sage were also targeted by nerfs for the last update of the year, so that the cost of each Ultimate increased a point and the sage healing itself was reduced to only 30 additional life.
Check out all the changes below:

• Specter
• Frantic Beta
• Agents
• weapons
• New game mode
• corrected bugs
• Immunity to allay damage

Agents

weapons

Specter

Nerfs in the Specter weapon were performed so that their exchanges on average and long distances are fairer.

0 m-15m, 26 damage.

• 15 m-30m, 22 damage.
• 30 m+, 20 damage.
