best items for bandit

[Tea]

i usually prioritize getting crowbar cause instant high damage on first shot but a lot of other chance items like sticky bombs just feel kinda worthless most of the time

what works better with him

[Himcules]

bleed, movement speed, CDR, Shatterspleen is basically a free win.
Attack speed lets you reload faster, that's a big bonus.
healing, atg, hardlight afterburner, the usual stuff

It depends on the skill variations you chose and if you're playing simgleplayer or multiplayer. Most of the time you want bands. You always want mov.speed in this game, so that's first priority. You don't need too much attack speed; though it helps with animation speed, it can also mess with your flow. Stacking too many crowbars is overrated by most people(especially in multiplayer) IMO, you'll be better off with AP ammo and bands. Purity is ok if you're a fan of desperado, but you're losing ATG viability, so you'll probably want shrimp with that if you don't mind a bit of shield maybe messing with your oneshot protection. But on hit proc chance items aren't that good on bandit(comparatively) IMO, except for ATGs. Lens Makers Glasses aren't as useless as you might think, especially in singleplayer, since you'll have more positioning options if you don't have to think about backstabbing.

Honestly it'd be easier to list items you don't want to take on bandit

The kitchen sink of proc items
some comfortable amount of attack speed
crowbars
on death boom boom things or on 1st hit boom boom things
big ring / atg / lute / etc total damage stacking for dealing with the few things that live one hit

Who's this MGS wannabe? *side eyes Ninja "Zyborg"*

Anyway, Dongsmasher has some good points. So does Hiroko.

i always aim for 2x purity, and just go for items that benefit on-hit to buff desperado.
although it may not be efficient, its fun
