Upfront, I'll state that I love this game and have been running a campaign for the past two years. This has been great fun and is still going. While the Core rule book gives you everything you need, this book really value adds with a lot of great content. I've used nearly all of the content of this book in one way or another, so I don't think anything is padding. As the title suggests, there's a lot of weapons, armour, and cybernetics, along with drugs, toxins and other more general equipment. Computer technology is also expanded on. Some very useful trainings, licences and down time options are there as well. There's even a small section adding more detail to minor corporations and the UIG. However, for me, the big news was the game system additions. Agent nutrition was great fun when the agents went to the wilds of the Free States. The requirement for all those calories added a whole new dimension to the player's planning, especially after the first bout of starvation. Pulping is a great addition, allowing certain weapons and events to completely destroy body parts. Agents mightn't feel pain, but these rules help them feel fear. The GET teleportation system has proved popular with my players as well. The book provides information on some disparate groups that make good enemies or obstacles. As GM, I've found Smeak Radio is always entertaining. The antagonists section has some great additions as well. I particularly like the Replicants, although all the rest have been useful as well. This is a very crunch heavy book, so there is plenty for players and GM to use in their games. I strongly recommend this book as a expansion that will significantly enhance your games with both flavour and real options. This book, along with the Core rules and Eastern Bank, are the three books I use the most and I consider all three essential. If you like Corporation - get this book.
