Ok, im a bit surprised no one asked this already, and if they did sorry for me no noticing and repeating the request.

Anyway, i wanted to ask if there is any way of unlocking all the armor pieces at the stores from start.

Its a bit anoying travelling through all of them just looking for that piece you might have missed.

Also... regarding the unlocking all weapons for all classes thing... i looked on the INI file with my notepad but couldnt find the needed lines... can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help.

First problem is that Notepad cannot successfully edit the file.
You will need to use either Notepad++ with the Ruby script Link or the Compiler Link.

You then need to search for the lines starting with:
TorsoAppearances=
ShoulderAppearances=
ArmAppearances=
LegAppearances=
HelmetAppearances=

Should start at about line 4083 in an unedited file. At the end of each of those lines is PlotFlag= and a number, change them all to PlotFlag=-1

All armour will now be available in your cabin.

As for weapon load outs, search for PlayerLoadoutInfo= (starting at about line 4005) there will be six, one for each class.

Copy the WeaponClasses= from the soldier line over to the other classes.

just a little confirmation that this works. i just did it and started my playthrough with every single armor piece and weapon unlocked at the start of the game.
