📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the mod file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2
  • Load order doesn't matter much, but put it after other mods that alter bandit inventories to ensure it takes effect
  • If you're using a mod that changes bandit levels, test early to see if the gear swap works as intended
