Note

 * Despite providing early access to powerful gear, the contents received from DLC packs and/or the Limited Edition bonuses actually puts the player at a disadvantage, as the added weapons are rather large and takes up a lot of valuable inventory space. This is especially straining considering how small Jensen's inventory is when the items are deposited.
 * Also, the provided bonus items are even more of a hindrance to stealth-related playstyles, as all of them are either lethal weaponry or explosives.
