Each inventory upgrade costs 75 neuropolymer, but is worth it early on. Weapons, ammo, and consumables all take up inventory space, so it is important to have enough space for the equipment you want to carry. You can also keep equipment in the storage, which can be found at the upgrade computer.
Once you unlock more weapons, cartridges, and consumables, you will need to organize your backpack and only keep the equipment you want to use. Fortunately, there are many upgrade computers throughout the game, so you can switch out your equipment often for the different situations you will run into.
