Most of the changes are nerfs, though there are some buffs thrown in the mix too. We’ll list the full breakdown below, but do keep in mind these aren’t official changes as yet. They are subject to change following their trial on the PBE. The following information was brought to Twinfinite’s attention by well-known data miner, ValorLeaks:
Breach
Ultimate Points Increased from 7 -> 8
Cypher

Fade

Finally, there’s also a change coming to the way the Spectre works. The SMG has for too long been overly powerful at long ranges.
Old Spectre Damage – 0-20 meters, 26 damage; 20+ meters, 22 damage New Spectre Damage – 0-15 meters, 26 damage; 15-30 meters, 22 damage; 30+ meters, 20 damage
So there you have it, a pretty extensive list of Agent changes. Quite when they will launch (if indeed they pass the testing phase) remains to be seen, but it could be as early as next week’s Patch 5.12 or the one after in late December. If you haven’t already read up on the big Chamber nerfs that are coming soon, then check out our dedicated article here. Also, Riot Games is set to change the map rotation in early 2023 to bring Split back in and Bind/Breeze out. A new map will also launch at that time.
