Best used with a new game but is somewhat compatible with existing saves. Due to the way NPC spawning/savegames work, any existing NPC will keep the vanilla values but any fresh spawn after installation will have my mod's values. Sometimes you have to progress a bit in the story on existing saves before you run into newly spawned NPCs with my values.

Ok while I was doing testing for this mod updating it to 2. 0 and struggling like an asshole because I though my cfgs weren't working I realized something and I wanted to share incase anyone came to complain.

When you start a new game via the new skip methods this mod doesn't appear to work at first. That's because the skip methods (I believe) are essentially a hidden savegame the devs made and when you new game skip it just loads it. Because of that some of the NPC inventories are already created with the vanilla values instead of populating them with mine. Just continue playing and eventually you will find new NPCs with my values.

A traditional new game start instantly spawns NPCs with my values as it should.

Tired of looting bodies with only a few rounds on them or constantly trucking back to town to buy more because the enemies you fought soaked up all 300 rounds you brought and now you're out? Me too brother, me too! So I made this mod that significantly increases ammo found on corpses.

I adjusted this to be an accurate combat loadout for all NPCs, aint nobody going into a warzone with 10 rounds of ammo for 1-2 guns like vanilla NPCs apparently do. This is a first attempt and I'll have to see if I want to change the minimum values but currently these are the values (min-max):

Pistols, shotguns & snipers 10-50

SMGs (including M10) & ARs 10-150

PKP Machine gun 10-250

I have also created a 50% version of the mod with the following values

Pistols, shotguns & snipers 5-25

SMGs (including M10) & ARs 5-75

PKP Machine gun 5-125

I did not reduce the value of ammunition nor the weight so self control of your inner loot goblin is your problem not mine. This isn't mean to be balanced it's meant to be fun a
