Unless otherwise noted, these accessories are compatible with commlinks, cyberdecks, and (with GM permission) other electronic devices. All peripheral accessories are wireless, and unless slaved properly, offer a sneaky ingress into a user’s PAN. Commlinks can have a maximum number of “slaves” equal to their Data Processing. All other accessories are “open” connections and can be exploited.
These hand coverings come in a myriad of styles and allow you to manually interact with the Matrix in Augmented Reality (AR) mode, letting you “touch” and “hold” AROs and receiving tactile force-feedback. AR gloves can provide the exact weight and temperature of touched or held objects.

This nail polish is a cocktail of active reagents that respond to the most common illicitly traded drugs and toxins on the market. When they come into contact with a liquid, the color changes to a specific hue depending on the class of chemical detected. If multiple toxins or drugs are detected, multiple speckles of color appear, and if no toxins or drugs are detected, the color remains unchanged. Each container contains enough nail polish for ten applications.

A simple implanted RFID chip informs your cybersafety-equipped weapon that you are a valid user. The cybersafety itself is a program consisting of an RFID broadcaster, held by the weapon owner, and an RFID detector built into the weapon. If the RFID safety isn’t within thirty centimeters of the weapon, it simply will not fire.

This internal upgrade gives you the full simsense experience. It allows you to directly experience simsense programs, full-sensory augmented reality, and virtual reality. A sim module must be accessed via a direct neural interface, be it trodes, a datajack, or an implanted commlink. Sim modules can be modified for hot-sim, which opens up the full range of VR experiences at the risk of frying your brain.

Composed of a programmable electropolymer commonly used in the skin covering of synthetic cyberware and humanoid mimic drones, the face mask produces a lifelike replica of an individual’s face. A person’s face can be duplicated if you have a scan from a biometric reader. The mask is reusable in the sense that it can be worn multiple times, but once an appearance has been set in either fashion described above, it cannot be altered.

About the size of an old-fashioned quarter, or about 2.5 centimeters in diameter for those unfamiliar with ancient UCAS coins, the trode patch allows the same level of DNI interface as a full rig, but rather than needing a full net or headband of them, it’s a single small piece. It requires direct skin contact near the brain, so a small patch of bare skin on the cranium is needed, but that’s better than a hole in the head any day. Many models even come with a custom exterior that can match your hair, or you can get one with any number of logos or designs.

Bought in the form of an accessory (lapel pin, earrings, ring, cuff link, etc.), an embedded micro-device runs a constant series of local mini-hacks on nearby devices that rewrites your face on any Matrix connected or wireless recording device that captures it within range. The base device has several levels and options to enhance the range and software capabilities along with how it alters the facial footage, as it can blur the loaded face, overlay a generic face, or overlay a specific face. They don’t work against everything but usually enough to keep you anonymous, and the things they don’t work on are usually overlooked by the authorities.
