Survivor.io is a fast-paced, strategy survival game where the aim is to defeat hoards of enemies and bosses whilst trying to stay alive. In-game you will obtain weapons and skills that can help you to do this. You will notice the term CD used to describe weapons and skills, this may leave you wondering what it is.
In this article, we will take a look at CD and what it means in Survivor.io. We will also look at all of the different ways it can be reduced via equipment and skills in-game.
What does CD mean?
CD in Survivor.io stands for cooldown, this is the amount of time that your skills take to generate and ultimately go off. Having a high CD will result in your attacks taking a longer period of time to go off. Having the smallest CD possible is the best strategy in Survivor.io.
Every skill and weapon in Survivor.io has its own unique CD, this number should not be ignored as it can greatly affect the way that you perform on the battlefield. You should aim to lower cooldowns on weapons and skills as much as possible, this will increase your attack speed and the amount of damage you deal in a period of time.
As we mentioned above, all skills have their own unique cooldown (CD) in Survivor.io, this is the time in which they can attack or launch again. You will find that some of the more powerful attacks in-game will have longer cooldowns. Luckily, there are ways you can reduce CD in-game and by equipping specific equipment.
How to reduce cD
Your CD (cooldown) time of weapons and attacks in Survivor.io can be reduced by using a number of different skills or pieces of equipment. A reduction in CD can be obtained by using the evolve table, from equipment, passive skills, and tech parts.

Overreaction skill
The overreaction skill can be obtained from the evolve skill table when your player reaches level 80. This will provide all of your skills with a reduction in CD by 5%. This is one of the most passive methods as you do not need to equip anything or select anything in-game.
