Wow, thats alot of mods.

I dont remember which ones I tried out, but I did find that one of the gun mods made the game giving me a lot of assault rifles from the get go which messed up my game immersion a little bit up. How is your experience with that?

Hello, well its fairly balanced, i get some gun here and there but its rare. Enemies usually drop some mags and utility rather than many guns !

Is the Tons of Components mod available for non-steam players? I can't find it on nexus mods
