Sticky this topic please.

Here is a link to a visual guide that displays images of all the DLC suits and weapons, as well as detailing the armor rating of each suit:

Additional information regarding the DLC Suit and Weapons:

When you purchase a DLC Weapon or Suit pack, you do not immediately start out with your DLC content in your inventory. You must first access any of the Stores located at different points in the game and purchase the DLC content for 0 credits. You will be able to buy any item included in a DLC pack, regardless of whether you have the schematic of the regular version.

DLC suits are equipped the same as normal suits, and you can only wear one at a time. If you purchase any lvl 5 DLC suit and equip it ingame, you will be unable to purchase and equip the lvl 2, 3, 4, or 5 version of the regular suit, but you will still be able to purchase and equip the lvl 6 military suit.

DLC weapons are placed in your inventory as separate weapons and you must manually switch to them using the D-pad, but they are counted as the same weapon for upgrades and achievements. You may have multiple versions of the same gun in your Inventory or Safe.

DLC weapons and normal weapons share their upgrade status, meaning any node placed in any version of a weapon will affect ALL versions of that weapon.

Achievements regarding weapons are unaffected by DLC versions of those weapons. It is possible to unlock any of the Kill 30 Enemies achievements using the DLC weapons and any DLC Plasma Cutter counts as a Plasma Cutter for the One Gun achievement, even if you acquire the DLC version partway through a playthrough.

If you purchase multiple DLC packs, you will be able to purchase items included in that pack for 0 credits at any store. If you buy the Heavy Damage pack and the Speed Kills pack you will find both a Heavy Damage Plasma Cutter and a Speed Kills Plasma Cutter along with the regular Plasma Cutter. Effects granted by a Pack, such as the Increased Damage of the Heavy Damage pack, only apply to that version of the weapon. (i.e. Only the Heavy Damage Plasma Cutter will have increased-damage.)

Essentially, that's the idea. Regardless of how greedy that is, DLC is part of the game and I feel that this topic, if sticky'd, would cut down on the amount of threads asking about it.

Is it just me or did I sound like a politician right there?
