Agent Updates
A lot of agents have received quite a few changes. Agents with large ultimates now have increased point costs.
Breach
Rolling Thunder:
Ultimate Points increased from 7 to 8
Chamber
Headhunter:
Updated Stability Curve
As an effective measure, the spread of headhunter is increased after every second bullet; this is meant to reduce low-precision body-shot spam
Rendezvous:
Chamber now has a single anchor that can be teleported to while inside its range.
Radius increased from 7.5 to 13m
Removed the teleport activation height restriction (you can now teleport to your anchor on any verticality as long as you are within its radius).
Increased weapon equip time after teleporting from 0.4 seconds to 7 seconds (Headhunter is not affected by this change).
Destroying the teleport anchor will now disable it for the entire round, instead of a cooldown
Chamber no longer incurs an additional cooldown when recalling his anchor after teleporting.
Health decreased from 80 to 50.

There is now a range restriction on the trap, it will be disabled once chamber moves out of the range.
