Suit can each be upgraded once, but the Icarus Armor cannot -it already starts out with stats appropriate for third-tier armor. If you then lose the armor, you're not able to replace it. Said Autopsy unlocks a Proving Ground Project that builds a unique armor that is more or less superior to a regular type of armor. The Alien Hunters armors are more straightforward to describe, as they're not affected by your settings: each one is associated with a particular Alien Ruler, where once you've killed that Alien Ruler you get the ability to Autopsy them. Whichever of these three models you have in a given run, you only get one copy of each DLC item, and can't get replacements if you lose them. Finally, if you're playing War of the Chosen and select 'integrated DLC', you'll find that you have a researchВ project that then unlocks the ability to build them from the Proving Ground, which costs the same as buying them from Engineering but takes a lot longer, between needing the research project done, needing to wait for the Proving Ground to be built, and then each separate object taking some Proving Ground construction time to build. If you turn the Alien Hunters DLC off, you'll find you can build each one as a separate purchase from Engineering for what is overall a cheap Supply price, but burdensome enough early on you probably shouldn't buy all four right away.

In the case of Alien Hunters, the weapons and the Item are all unlocked in one of three ways, depending on your settings: if you turn on the Alien Hunters DLC, you'll get an early rumor that once successfully scanned will dump the basic versions of the gear into your inventory for free.

The second of these is the Tactical Legacy Pack, which provides 6 weapons and 4 sets of armor, but the armor is all purely aesthetic, as are two of the weapons the other weapons are defined by pre-locked-in Weapon Attachments. The first of these is the Alien Hunters DLC, which gives three weapons, three armors, and one Item, all of which are unique you can't have more than one copy, and they're notably dissimilar from existing gear in at least one important way. This post will be covering two sets of DLC.
