Cooldown: The opposite of overheat. It's the time it takes before you can use that ability, perk, talent or equipment again, example: when a gun overheats while firing continuously, it takes a certain time to cooldown before you can fire it again. It just refuses to fire when it gets too hot.

There is a write-up using sodas etc to improve the cooldown and extend the use of items.
