In our campaign, the Gm tailors adventures, and the world to a point, to
our groups advantages and disadvantages. If we are magic heavy, there are
more magical foes. If we are 'light' in the magic department, there are
less magical foes. We won't meet the magical encounters in the Sprawl
book, the only magical things would be in big runs.

It all depends on where you are going. Bellview you say? Don't bother
bringing anything that can classify as a weapon. Those people pay through
the nose for 'no worries, no trogs, no violence'. Redmonds, on the other
hand, you'd better have at least an SMG, or you're likely to get jumped.
