Introduction
Praxis Kits give you a free Praxis point which can be spent on unlocking augmentations, making them well worth finding. There are total of 21 kits to be found in the base game.

Notice that it may take certain augmentations to reach certain Praxis Kits (usually a hacking augmentation), so plan accordingly. HOWEVER, it is possible to reach kits behind locked doors and punch-through walls with some cleverness:

-You can destroy any punch-through wall without the matching augmentation by dealing damage to it (although they will be more difficult to find). A quick way is to use explosives, such as frag grenades/mines, a rocket launcher or even explosive barrels, to destroy the wall. You can also destroy the wall by shooting it with most weapons (most non-lethal weapons are useless for this).

-The same applies for most doors, HOWEVER some of them are indestructible - forcing you to use a keypad or a computer to open them. Many of those doors can be unlocked with a matching passcode, which can be found on enemies, containers, computers and pocket secretaries found in the same area. If you're unsure if a door is indestructible, save before attempting to smash it.

-Both destructible doors and punch-though walls can also be destroyed by throwing a physics object at it repeadtly. This is a time- and energy-consuming process however, so I only recommend this method if you are well away from enemies and lack equipment to do it quicker.

-If you need to stay hidden, you can use a silenced weapon to deal damage to the obstacle. As long as nobody is within hearing distance, they won't notice the bullets hitting it. Be advised that the wall/door breaking DOES make a fair bit of noise when it is destroyed, however. Using the physics object method explained above can also be used for somewhat stealthy approach (save before attempting to be sure). Be sure to close all nearby doors to maximize your chances of staying undetected!

There is no achievement for collecting all of them.

Detroit - First Visit
Milwaukee Junction Plant
  • In a cardboard box, soon after exiting an elevator inside the plant. The Augmentations tutorial will pop up nearby. Being in middle of the path you need to take, this one is hard to miss. Notice that you can NOT return to this location later.

Detroit City

These two can be obtained during both visits.
  • Inside an illegal clinic in an apartment building with a security gate. You need to access this building during the side missions "Lesser Evils" and "Cloak & Daggers". The particular apartment is in the third floor of the building. The door is locked with a level five keypad, making it tricky to open early in the game. However, if you have a Frag Grenade or a Frag Mine, you can blow the door up to get inside (for mines, place it at the door, then shoot it). Inside, hack the level two terminal to gain access to the second room, and then the level one computer to get the passcode to the cage with the kit.

    -You can also stack objects to jump over the fence and into the cage to get the kit. There should be plenty of boxes and other items for this purpose, both inside and outside of the cage. Just be really careful not to trap yourself!

  • In a sealed room in the sewers under Derelict Row. You can access the sewers from two manholes: From near the "main entrance" close to the entrance to the first building (there is a burnt-out car and a large dumpster nearby) or near the weapon shipment location associated with the side mission "Cloak & Daggers" (that's in a small crawlspace in a large courtyard area). Once inside the sewers, look for a break-though wall. The kit is behind that wall. See screenshot for exact location.

LIMB Clinic
  • Two can be bought for 5000 credits each. However, the first one is paid for you during one of the story missions, essentially making it free.
Hengsha Island - First Visit
Hengsha City
The first two kits in this list can also be obtained during the second visit.
  • In the sewers beneath Hung Hua Hotel, behind a breakable wall. In the first floor of the hotel, there is room with a weapons dealer. In the back of the same room, there's a manhole that leads you to the punch-through wall.
  • In the apartment building called "Hengsha Court Gardens". You will need to access this building during the first story mission in the city. The kit is in the bottom of the elevator shaft, which you can access either from a locked, hackable (or punch-though wall) room near the rooftop access or from a vent in the same floor the raided apartment is in (the entrance to the duct is by the elevator doors).
  • Malik will give you one if you complete her side mission "Shanghai Justice" by forcing Lee to confess.

LIMB Clinic
  • Two can be bought for 5000 credits each here.
The Hive Nightclub
  • A reward from Bobby Bao (the bartender) for completing his side quest "Bar Tab" in a "loyal" way. As long as you do not return Jaya's memory chip to him, you will receive the kit.

    -ALTERNATIVELY, just knock him out cold/kill him and loot it off his body.
    If you do this before completing the mission, it will become unobtainable. You can obtain the kit this way if you returned Jaya's memory chip to Bobby Bao. Prepare for a serious gunfight if you pick this path!

Tai Yong Medical Building
  • In the second floor of the Upper City building. In a a room above the Lee Geng Memorial Laboratory, there is a drawer with the kit inside. From the main entrance (the one that is guarded by a Belltower soldier asking for an access card), go across the room and take the stairs up. Once on the upper level, turn left and follow the path until you see a door to the left. Go through it, and you'll end up in a "public" corridor again. There are two rooms connecting to that corridor, and one of them has a drawer that contains the kit.

    -You can also access the corridor connecting to the two rooms by stacking objects to jump up to a balcony located above one of the full-window public corridors. There is a lot of stuff that you can pile up in the same floor, such as a vending machine and gas cylinders (be careful with those!). Heavy lifting and tall jump augmentations both help here, but are not necessary.
Montreal
Picus Building
  • In the PicusTV newsroom. Once you've made your way inside, look for a large, open office room with two staircases leading to the upper level of the room. The room is filled with office cubicles, and roughly on the center of it is a drawer that contains the Praxit Kit. There are several other drawers in the room, which contain small amounts of credits and miscellaneous ammunition. It is recommended you pick this kit up BEFORE heading to the room 404 to avoid unwanted attention.
Detroit - Second Visit
Isaias Sandoval's Apartment
  • This kit is in the path you need to take during one of the story missions, which makes it hard to miss. There is a catch, however - the kit is actually part of a trap that is rigged to two EMP mines.
    When you see a dead Sarif Industries security officer, you have several ways to deal with the trap:

    -Crouch and toggle walk mode on (default Caps Lock). Approach the body carefully WITHOUT picking up the kit. Move the body to reveal the two mines. Disarm them, and then pick up the kit. When you pick the kit up, however, Ezekiel Sanders will be alerted in the next room - and he'd just LOVE to show his new shotgun to you...

    -If you have the EMP shield augmentation, you can pick the kit up straigth away without any harm. However, notice that setting the mines off will alert Sanders in the next room aswell.

    Regardless of which way you deal with the trap, be ready to fight Ezekiel. Alternatively, deal with him BEFORE picking up the kit.

    NOTICE: This trap (and the Praxit Kit) will not appear if you killed Ezekiel Sanders during the first mission or when he is in police custody during the morgue mission. Knocking him out or letting him go during the first mission will ensure the trap appears.

LIMB Clinic
  • Additional two kits can be purchased for 5000 credits each. Note that any kits you did not purchase on your first visit will NOT stack with the new ones.
Hengsha Island - Second Visit
LIMB Clinic
  • You will receive one for completing Dr. Wing's side quest "Talion A.D".
  • Another two kits can be purchased for the usual 5000 credits each. Like in Detroit, these new kits will not stack with any previously unpurchased ones.
Panchaea
LIMB Clinic
  • Perhaps surprisingly, this location has a LIMB clinic. It is located in an area labeled "Ring Section" on your map. The entrance is blocked by a vending machine, meaning that you will need the heavy lifting augmentation in order to gain access. In here, you can buy two Praxit Kits for 5000 credits, despite the ongoing crazie apocalypse.

I've updated the guide again, see the changelog for details.

@Thumper: You do NOT get a kit for that mission. You get paid in credits instead.
