Best items for Enforcer.

Alien Head

He is cooldown-focused: lower cooldowns on everything.

All your skills come back 25% sooner. Each extra head, another 25% less.

Stacking: Each copy cuts a share of what is left: it drops less each time and never reaches zero.

Watch out: It applies before Purity: together they cut cooldowns a lot.

Bandolier

Refreshes his skills.

Kills sometimes drop an ammo pack that makes all your skills ready again. Each extra bandolier, more often.

Stacking: Per the game, 18% with one and 10% more per copy.

Watch out: The pack restores one charge, not all (turrets, magazines). It does not reset equipment. Any ally can grab it.
