I will separately publish a guide to Armor Mods that Affect Cooldowns (character limits are my enemy) for you to reference. Underneath each Perk’s entry I have listed Armor Mods and other Perks that synergize with it. Find your Perk’s name, and you’ll have everything you need to know about it right there. Under each Perk, I will provide an explanation of the effect as well as any important notes on the testing method. Perks are organized by Armor Type and Slot that they appear in. I am aware of the controversy regarding Heavy Ammo Finder (and therefore possibly Special Ammo Finder), but I am leaving them in this guide as I am confident that Bungie will either fix them if broken, or else determine that the sample size was too small to consistently detect the randomness at play and possibly buff them in some way However, all indications are that the in-game descriptions of those are relatively accurate. I don’t know how much Aim Assist, Flinch Reduction, etc is given. I have not yet tested Armor perks / mods that don’t affect ability Cooldowns. I have given all times in seconds to account for variations in timing methods and because I didn’t see a benefit to counting frames given the long duration of cooldowns, the considerable margin of error, and the lack of any conceivable benefit to doing so.

My times are typically a bit longer than others I have seen, when they differ at all. For reference, I attempt to start timing as close to ability activation as possible and stop as soon as the ability flashes, indicating it can be activated again. This occurs because we all start counting at different times. In some cases, the numbers I have for cooldowns may disagree with your count or numbers found elsewhere by a few seconds.
