Passive Cooldown Delay

There is no official name for this game mechanic, so its title is pure conjecture.
 * The title for this article is conjectural.

A weapon's Passive Cooldown Delay is the time that must pass before the weapon automatically expels heat that has been built up after firing the weapon continuously but has not yet overheated. All weapons in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II, except for lightsabers, share this mechanic. Some weapons share the same delay, while others must wait a much longer time, with the maximum delay being ten seconds.

Passive Cooldown Delay is often expressed by seconds.
