 The effect of Torque Injectors is applied when the agent //uses// an item with a cooldown; that item's cooldown timer is set to the nominal cooldown time minus 1. Torque Injectors does not change any property of the item itself, so the same item given to an agent without Torque Injectors will still have the full nominal cooldown time. Torque Injectors has no effect on items with a cooldown of 1 turn, nor on items with no cooldown. The effect of Torque Injectors is applied when the agent //uses// an item with a cooldown; that item's cooldown timer is set to the nominal cooldown time minus 1.

 Torque Injectors gives the most benefit to an agent with a high [[:skill#Strength]] skill who can carry many items; to maximise the benefit, the agent should mainly or only carry items with cooldowns. Single-use items, and weapons which use ammo, can be given to other agents to free up space for more items which benefit from Torque Injectors. Torque Injectors gives the most benefit to an agent with a high [[:skill#Strength]] skill who can carry many items; to maximise the benefit, the agent should mainly or only carry items with cooldowns.

-The benefit is proportionally greater for items with shorter nominal cooldowns; with Torque Injectors installed, [[:items:Stim III]] can be used every 3 turns (33% more often), [[:items:Buster Chip III]] can be used every 2 turns (50% more often), and [[items:Accelerator Chips]] can be used every turn (twice as often). Torque Injectors is particularly useful with an [[:items:Econ Chip]], especially [[:items:Banks' Custom Econ Chip]].+The benefit is greater for items with shorter nominal cooldowns; with Torque Injectors installed, [[:items:Stim III]] can be used every 3 turns (33% more often), [[:items:Buster Chip III]] can be used every 2 turns (50% more often), and [[items:Accelerator Chips]] can be used every turn (twice as often).

 The fact that Torque Injectors exists is reason enough to avoid installing lower-value augments such as [[Skeletal Suspension]] or [[Titanium Rods]] too early in a campaign --- augment sockets are limited, so it is often better to have a spare socket available in case you find Torque Injectors later. The fact that Torque Injectors exists is reason enough to avoid installing lower-value augments such as [[Skeletal Suspension]] or [[Titanium Rods]] too early in a campaign --- augment sockets are limited, so it is often better to have a spare socket available in case you find Torque Injectors later.
