English term or phrase: downed
Collect object X - Increase **downed duration** by 1.5
(Meaning, I think, "If you collect object X this will increase (your enemies') downed duration/time by 1.5")

I am looking for a way to express "downed duration" in German.
Thank you for suggestions.

Explanation:
Some context would help. Is this a flight sim or a first-person shooter? Term seems to refer to the time before enemies respawn/re-
enter the fight.

disagree  Kay Barbara: "Auszeit" hört sich eher nach einer "Pause" an und ist mir auch noch nicht in diesem Kontext untergekommen. Im Rahmen des gegebenen Kontexts für mich nicht nachvollziehbar.

Reference: "downed mode" in Guild Wars 2

Reference information:
[...]

Rather than being presented with immediate failure, when a player loses all of their health in Guild Wars 2, they are put into "downed mode." In this mode, the player has a number of downed skills they can use to target enemies and fight for a chance to survive. A downed player can still be attacked, which will send them into a defeated state, leaving them to either wait for an ally to resurrect them or to resurrect at a waypoint.

Downed skills are less-powerful skills that a player can use in a last-ditch effort to turn the tide. A warrior might daze an enemy by throwing a rock. An elementalist might lock down their foe with Grasping Earth. While you are downed, if you manage to kill an enemy, you will rally, returning to life to fight again. When you rally, you are thrust right back in the action. This potential to rally from the edge of defeat adds greater drama to combat and gives a player some tactical control while in a state where they normally have none.

Some professions will have special skills that will instantly rally a fallen ally. For example, when a warrior uses "I Will Avenge You," and then kills an enemy nearby his fallen allies, his allies will rally. While you are downed or defeated, any other player can come to you and interact with you to bring you back to life. We call this "reviving," and everyone, regardless of profession, can do this starting at Level 1.
