Bandit items?
I'm sort of new to this game. I usually play with my friend who got me into the game, and when we play, he adds the thing that lets you choose your items.

Playing as Bandit, what items should I prioritize the most?

The harvest scythe can be good for healing since your hits from behind are automatic criticals. Predator mask or whatever it is can also be good as each crit will ramp your attack speed dramatically. For whites, a few backup mags can be useful to apply your hemorrhage bleeds quickly on bosses, movement and attack speed isn’t bad and with the two greens I mentioned first, 9 crit goggles can let you get criticals on every hit.

Otherwise experimentation is the best teacher really.

I mean his main schtick is criticals, so anything that benefits from criticals really. That means harvest scythes, predatory instincts (less so since it's attack speed), and shatterspleen.
Stacking crit is a *little* redundant on him, but not necessarily always bad to do. Backstabs via the face can be handy.

He's in a similar boat as Arty where his damage doesn't really get a ton out of attack speed. There's some utility for it, but you don't want attack speed cranked as high as possible.

Otherwise, he's in the same boat as other survivors for everything else. Some healing items of your choice being medkits, shrooms, slugs, and then chase the good on-kill and proc items.

Crowbar + Desperado "R" alternate ability

brilliant behemoth is busted on shotgun attacks if you get a red with command
and backup mags are amazing for letting you stack critical bleeds since they can just stealth behind enemies (you also get ALL your stacks back from light's out)
crowbar lets you 1shot a bunch of lesser enemies with your R

Double Purity with Alternate R ability is Fun
Also enables you to sort of fly with Right Click due to the short cooldown ^^

Deffinitely stack crowbar. But that rule applies to pretty much every single character except maybe Mul-T. But as someone else said, crowbar with desperado is just stupid OP. Compulsory even, because the ultimate is extremely inconvenient to use when you have to calculate if it will kill an enemy or not and if u have to damage them a bit before.

Apart from that, obligatory items according to me are stacking crowbars, focus thingys (deal more damage to close enemies) and the scythe that heals on crit.
