How to unlock the Better Equipped achievement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

The pieces of equipment I would recommend for this achievement would be:

Ascender - Paititi Merchant

This can be purchased from a merchant that is unlocked after the completing the side quest for finding Takiy's Dice within the Hidden City. The end of this side mission unlocks a special vendor that sells this for 3,300 gold pieces. This equipment is used to take down heavy barriers.

Lockpick - Paititi Merchant

The merchant that sells the Ascender listed above also sells the Lockpick for 2,800 gold pieces. The lockpick allows you to open conquistador treasures, and is required for another achievement.

Quiver Options - Paititi Male Merchant

Same as above, I had the knife, and stayed at 0%. When I bought the ascender and lockpick I went to 2/3, 66%.

Update - just a heads up, after buying all quiver options from the male merchant in The Hidden City, the achievement unlocked.

I have lost her, I bought lock picks when I was randomly doing the mission but when I try and find her again she isn't there. Is this a bug or is she somewhere else in the city after the quest is finished

Hey Maka, I have these three items, but it shows 2/3 rather than 3/3! Are you sure the dagger counts as it's an upgrade rather than a purchase? Thanks

Update: Unlocked when I bought the quiver.

@N3ON Saint: I believe that if you complete the mission where you rescue Hakan, then the merchant moves on. She can still be found, but she wanders around the map randomly. I only know this because I was advised to buy the knife upgrade from her BEFORE doing rescuing Hakan to avoid this problem. I don't think she appears on the map as an icon, so you're going to need to keep your eyes open to find her. Good luck.

Confirming that the achievement requires the Quiver purchase from the male merchant in Paititi.

Provided you have enough gold, this achievement can be obtained as early as your first visit to Kuwaq Yaku. In this town, the merchant here sells three pieces of equipment that aren't too expensive: a Pistol Sight (1,800 gold), a Pistol Suppressor (1,400 gold), and a Pistol Ammo Pouch (1,500 gold).

There are other merchants in Paititi and the Mission of San Juan who also sell equipment items, so feel free to purchase whichever three suit your needs the most.

You need to buy a master key, a blind man's eye and an upgrade for the backpack.

The hint above is confusing, you need to buy absolutely any three items from the equipment category - bags, pouches, quiver, master keys, jumar...
