* Halved Psyker echolocation cooldown (#83125)

## About The Pull Request

Default psyker refresh rate has gone from '2 seconds' to '1 second'

## Why It's Good For The Game

I tried playing Psyker a few rounds ago. Oh my god. It was so bad.
Genuinely, I spent more time looking at the fadeout screen than actually
seeing things. It was horrible and most importantly extremely
nauseating. I wasn't even able to make my way to the station nor find
where my guns even were.

I had just eaten lunch and literally had to stop and suicide just so I
didn't throw up. In real life. I injected the 2 gore injectors and
noticed there was another meat cube with nearby expended gore injectors
next to me. Someone else joined as Psyker and did the same thing after
noticing how unplayable it was.

While testing in local I was shocked by how much better it felt. Trying
to compare the two experiences made me realize that there is a HUGE
diference between the 'real' cooldown in local and on live.

Due to that, I'm just going ahead and shortening the cooldown, which
will hopefully bring Echocolocation into its INTENDED design, rather
than the UNINTENDED slower, laggier version.

I think the main reason it was nauseating on live, unlike local, is that
in local, I spend more time being able to see things. In live, I spent
more time looking at the black fading screen.

While I labeled it as balance, this is probably closer to a qol or fix
than anything else imo. It brings Psyker into its intended design and
tries to stop it causing real life nausea.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Halved Psyker echolocation cooldown. This will hopefully make
it actually usable.
