Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out all the different things that can make puppeteer come off cooldown faster. I’ve noticed my puppeteer ability sometimes refreshes quicker than expected but I can’t always tell what caused it. Does anyone know all the skills, equipment pieces, or modifications that can speed up puppeteer cooldown? I’ve been playing for a while but there seem to be some interactions I’m missing. Sometimes in matches I get surprised when puppeteer is ready again sooner than I thought it would be. Would really appreciate if someone could share a comprehensive breakdown of everything that impacts this cooldown timer.
totally! yeah, the skill nodes r crucial. having the right gear reely speeds it up. and omg, the armor mods can seriously flip the script in matches, dont overlook them! really makes a difference!
Your health percentage definitely affects puppeteer cooldown. Drop below certain thresholds and you get automatic cooldown reduction - it’s like a built-in survival mechanic. I tracked this during low vs full health fights and the pattern’s consistent. Team synergy matters too, but most players miss this. When teammates use support abilities near you, it triggers passive cooldown reduction on your puppeteer. The radius is tiny though, so stick close to your team. Temperature zones also mess with cooldown rates. Cold areas refresh abilities faster - it’s subtle but you’ll notice during longer sessions.
You’re probably missing combat momentum stacking. When you’re actively fighting and dealing damage, there’s a hidden acceleration that speeds up all cooldowns, including puppeteer. I see this a lot during long fights where the cooldown drops way faster than it should. Some map areas also have environmental buffs that boost cooldown recovery, but they’re not obvious and vary by map. Multiple cooldown sources don’t stack additively either - they have diminishing returns, which explains why the timing feels off. Also check your weapon perks since some have hidden cooldown benefits that aren’t mentioned in tooltips.
