Starfield has contraband, but Packing Heat gives players a more deliberate reason to deal in it. CyberPsycheMods' release lets you process weapons into sellable crates at dedicated workbenches, connecting scavenging, research and Commerce investment to a small arms-smuggling operation. Suddenly, the question isn't just what to loot, but what you can turn into cargo.

The mod uses Starfield's existing contraband rules, so it isn't a new black-market economy or faction system. The creator also warns against casually removing it from an ongoing save. It's a focused addition for players who want a smuggling routine without mistaking it for a complete criminal-career overhaul.
