Over the course of the past two days, or so, I had read some posts about people stating there was no change to the armor when it was upgraded; Ark Suit and beyond. I found these posts while looking for pictures of the upgraded armors. Well, short answer was that I found none and promised to bring back proof, failed to create it not knowing that Steam does not use Print Screen (never screenshot anything in Steam games), and that proof is finally here and is going in a new thread. Start the viewing from the last screenshot (bottom right most) and click back from there to the final picture in the top left (easier to see the changes that way). It goes all the way from Ark Suit to Crimson Elite Medium. I spent the past 45 minutes or so on an Easy game rushing up to the armor change points and taking pictures as needed. I don't plan to upgrade anything past Medium (because I'm sure, though I haven't encountered it, a Heavy upgrade exists) except the Crimson Elite that I use on my Nightmare play through. Enjoy!
