Besides Chamber, Jett and Neon will also get minor changes to their abilities. Regional damage falloff is expected to be diversified for all abilities affecting different parts of the body:

Abilities like Neon's Overdrive and Jett's Blade Storm currently affect enemies hit in the body proportionally, unlike weapons that deal different damage based on the hit location (leg, body, head).
