ITEM BRIEF:
Bandoliers have seen long service in the armed forces, with records showing use back to the 16th century. Soldiers have always needed quick and efficient access to their ammunition, and bandoliers have historically been enablers for allowing such. Contemporary professional forces have since devised other methods of enabling small arms replenishment, but bandoliers are still seen in civilian hands for the purposes of hunting and recreational shooting. 

TACTICS:
Survivors that have ventured far enough in the city have gained access to bandoliers that have improved tactical utility over the Ammunition Pouches that are available earlier. The highest effect is experienced by survivors wielding a projectile weapon with a small magazine size or long reload time. In particular, single-shot weapons benefit greatly from an improved reload speed.
Use with melee weapons should still be avoided, as it imparts no benefits. It can also be less beneficial to support classes like the Scavenger and Medic, as opposed to other gear that is better suited to their specialty - the Hand Wrap/Gloves and First Aid Kit/Medical Kit, respectively.
