I'd like to resurrect PACKs for 5th Edition for inclusion with Chummer5.  While PACKs that include things covered by the priority system don't work within 5th Edition very well there are other PACKs that would work just fine. Anything with cyberware, bioware, gear, weapons, armor, and/or vehicles works just fine.  So I'm coming to the community and asking for your help in designing PACKs that would work within 5th Edition so that I can include them in Chummer5.

Weapons and ammo kits, bug out kits, kitted-out drones, rigger vans, go wild with it and let's see what we can build.  Thank you!

Per your request, I have come up with some ideas for these, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about implementing these PACKs.  Is there a file I can create and post or link here or something?

What I had in mind was to just post them here as text. For example (and this is a rough example):
