Heavy bandolier

Heavy bandolier

A heavy shoulder-belt for keeping spare munitions close at hand. It allows quick access to bullets, grenades, arrows, or whatever the user needs, reducing their weapon's ranged cooldown. Due to its bulk, it can't be worn under other clothing. It doesn't cover the body, so it can be worn happily by nudists and yttakin.

The heavy bandolier is a piece of apparel added by the Biotech DLC.

Acquisition

Heavy bandoliers can be crafted at a Hand tailor bench or Electric tailor bench once the Complex clothing research project has been completed. They require Stuff 75 Stuff (Fabric/Leathery), 3,500 ticks (58.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 4.

Summary

Offsets the Ranged Cooldown Multiplier of the wearer by −20%, meaning that weapons cooldown in 80% of the time they otherwise would. This reduction is not affected by quality, though the usual apparel stats are affected as normal.

The exact DPS gain depends on the weapon. Each weapon has an Aiming Time, Burst Time, and Cooldown Time. The heavy bandolier reduces cooldown only. Therefore, the longer a weapon's cooldown is relative to its aiming and burst time, the greater impact the bandolier has. For the same reason, reducing the pawn's Aiming Time, such as with trigger-happy or shooting specialistContent added by the Ideology DLC, gives the bandolier a proportionally greater effect.

    Analysis

    Before you have access to protective textiles, heavy bandoliers can be useful for any colonist, including non-nudists. A duster made of cloth, wool, or patchleather is unlikely to actually protect you from bullets, but a cloth heavy bandolier will at least reduce your colonist's time to kill. Also note that bandoliers provide little insulation, while dusters and parkas are great against the heat or cold, respectively. For instance, it may be too cold for a non-yttakin to wear a bandolier in a tundra.

    The protection and insulation offered by the bandolier is almost negligible outside of high qualities and high tier materials, but the effect on cooldown is not affected by material or quality. As such, if only the DPS buff is required, the worst quality and cheapest material can be used to minimise wealth and cost while still being fully functional.

    Bandoliers can be worn over flak vests, meaning a colonist doesn't have to be completely unprotected while wearing one.
