{{Stat
| default base value = 1
| min value = 0.01
| to string style = PercentZero
| description = A multiplier on the cooldown between bursts when using a ranged weapon}} i.e. a ranged weapon with a cooldown time of 1 second normally will have a cooldown time of 0.5 seconds in the hands of a pawn with a Ranged Cooldown Multiplier stat of 50%. Note that the warm-up time of the weapon is unaffected.

This stat also applies to [[psycast]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, the integrated weapons of [[grenadier armor|grenadier]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[phoenix armor]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}, and a number of [[utility]] items including the [[orbital bombardment targeter]], [[orbital power beam targeter]], [[psychic shock lance]], [[psychic insanity lance]], [[tornado generator]], [[jump pack]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[orbital mech cluster targeter]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

== Factors ==
A pawn's ranged cooldown multiplier has a base value of 100%, but it can be reduced by {{---|20%}} to 80% if the pawn is wearing a [[heavy bandolier]].

== DPS table == 
The effect of the reduction in cooldown time on the DPS of ranged [[weapons]] depends on each weapon's unique ratio of "Warmup time" and "Cooldown time". For example, a weapon with a short warmup and long cooldown will benefit more from a reduced cooldown time than a weapon with a longer warmup and/or a shorter cooldown, all else being equal. 

The table below details the effect of the reduction in cooldown time on the DPS for each pawn-usable, ranged [[weapon]]. Note that while single use weapons such as the [[doomsday rocket launcher]] do benefit from the decreased cooldown time, their single-use nature makes comparing DPS in this way nonsensical and they are thus excluded.
