stand near a wall to put his Batteries. he can put more than 1 in the same wall, useful in bandit tricking (quickly replacing a EMP'd or destroyed bandit battery to deny wall breach}

They aren't traps per se, they electrify some stuff so that attackers can't destroy them as easily. For example, if you put it on a reinforced wall attackers can't use their abilities to destroy said wall. They first need to destroy your batteries.
You can also put it on shields from the side attackers won't see it so they can't destroy the shield as easily (I think this only works against Ash's launcher).
And lastly you can use it on barbed wire but it would be very exposed that way. They can be used that way on the preparation phase so that it destroys drones but then again, you would be losing the time and your batteries on that instead of preparing reinforced walls.
All in all, you're better using it on reinforced walls, especially those that go outside of the map.
Also, when you get to know Bandit better google "bandit trick". Which basically is a technique where you stand before a reinforced wall with a battery and when an attacker tries to break the wall you put the battery down and destoys their gadget.

hello,

they changed the way, to set down bandit´s gadget. First you have to press the "gadget" button and to lay it down on a reinforced wall or barbed wire, you have to click/hold your left mouse button.

No, this is not completely right. There's two ways to deploy gadgets in Siege. Normal and Advanced Deployment.
With normal you just place the gadget with the gadget button. With advanced if you hold it you hold out your gadget and with another key which you have to hold you deploy it.
Advanced is technically better because you can cancel the animation if you let go of the deployment key. With normal deployment you're locked in the animation.

hello,
you are right, but i think, when it comes to bandit, they maybe messed it up, because i am using the "standard" gadget deployment.

so in my case, i have to press the button "v". then i am holding his battaries in the hand. then i hav to hold the left mouse button, to set it down. if i stop holding, before the animation is finished, bandit switches back to his weapon.

edit:
i also found a thread on reddit, which descripes my situation

Damn, makes sense. I haven't played him in a while.

yes so I realized the wall just has to be reinforced already, not an empty space like Kapkan, that was it lol
