There are 12 (maybe 13 see below) upgrades in the game for Artyom's suit.
I will show you in my video the upgrades at the
first available place in the game. You can get some upgrades later in the game as well. Atm is unclear which upgrades exactly appears again in the later levels.
The first available places for the upgrades are in levels "The Volga" and "The Caspian".

There are currently 1
2 3 unclear points for this achievement:
1) Count the Night Vision googles as upgrade
At the time I recording the Night Vision google there was no achievements available and no tracker working. After the release both is working, so somebody please check it if Night Vision google counts.
Personally, I don't think it counts because on the workbench there are 4 categories with (at the end) 3 upgrades.2) Collecting via chapter select
The game has a chapter select and for the Diaries and Postcard collectibles it will works when you load a previous chapter and collect your missing stuff.
For the upgrades I can't check this anymore but at the moment I will say no because if you reload a chapter all upgrades are back again (unlike the collectibles)
So somebody who miss a upgrade in chapter 3 please go back, collect the upgrade and look if this upgrade available on your later save game / story progress chapter.3) Multiple upgrade locationsA user tell me he found the Reinforced Helmet upgrade also in chapter 5. I go to the location but there was nothing for me because I collect the Reinforced Helmet on the first location in chapter 3.
At the moment is unclear which upgrades are available later again and where exactly it is. I also have no idea how to list it at the end. Should this guide only show the first available locations or really all (double / triple?) locations? And how do you figure that out?
There are 3 open world levels and maybe some upgrades are available in all 3 levels? (if you miss it in the first 2 levels?)
