Energy Amp

The Energy Amp is a performance-enhancing consumable that massively increases the recharge rate of the runner's tactical and prime abilities for a limited duration. In a game where powerful runner abilities often have long cooldowns that gate access to the most impactful plays, the Energy Amp collapses that downtime and allows runners to cycle through abilities far faster than normal. This makes it especially potent for ability-dependent runners who center their playstyle around frequent use of their kit's active powers.

The Energy Amp is best used at the start of a planned high-stakes engagement, such as a contested extract fight or a push into a heavily defended zone, where having multiple ability charges available creates an outsized advantage. Runners who rely on abilities for survival, mobility, or burst damage will see the highest return from this consumable. It pairs well with any build that treats abilities as core damage tools rather than situational extras, and its effect window rewards pre-planning over reactive use.
