It's not a big Patch, but it's surely an exciting one. Even though Chamber is the only Agent who gets any significant changes in this update, it's important to remember that he was the most popular Sentinel Agent in the game. Will that change now? Well, time will tell, but for now, let's see what's in Patch 4.09 Notes.
