This achievement is highly missable!
This achievement requires you to upgrade each of your weapons (with the exception of the Wrench) twice. In order to upgrade a weapon you must locate a “Power to the People” station. One of these upgrade stations is highly missable, as it requires you to leave Sander Cohen alive at the end of the Fort Frolic level. Then, in the Olympus Heights level, you must enter Cohen’s apartment and disturb (shoot at) the two dancers in his living room. This will cause him to come downstairs from his private quarters giving you access to said room. If you chose to kill Cohen in Fort Frolic, this room is inaccessible. Entering Cohen’s private quarters also nets the un-imaginably titled “Found Cohen’s Room” achievement.
