**Accelerator Chips** are [[:items:]] which increase the amount of [[:PWR]] generated when hijacking a [[:Console]]. The extra PWR generated using an Accelerator Chip is in addition to any bonus from the agent's [[:skill#Hacking]] skill. There are three "[[:tiers]]" of Accelerator Chip; each type has an [[:skill#Anarchy]] skill level requirement for the agent to use them.

To use an Accelerator Chip, the agent carrying it must stand on a tile adjacent to the Console --- [[:agents:Internationale]]'s [[:augments:Wireless Emitter]] cannot be used in combination with an Accelerator Chip. It is not possible to use more than one Accelerator Chip when hijacking the same Console.
