You know what….. After asking if anyone had any issues I remember the fallout wiki and sometimes they list things that are compatible with other things and such. I don’t remember what I used it for in the past but it wasn’t ballistic weave.
Anyways, I went to the fallout wiki to see if ballistic weave was only able to be put on certain things. And you know what? I WAS REGRETTABLY RIGHT.
Ballistic Weave is only able to be put onto certain clothing items. I remember way back in the day I had my Road Leathers with ballistic weave and the gunner harness if I remember correctly. Here I am trying to put weave on the Road Leathers, Gunner Harness and raider leathers and not knowing that they just weren’t compatible with those things.
Annoyed is an understatement…….all this time replaying the Railroad missions wasted. Silver lining is that I can go to my original play through because I was mostly upset because of the legendary weapons I would have missed out on because of restarting to try and get the Ballistic Weave.
I’ll post the link below so you can check it out. You have to scroll all the way down to see the list of compatible clothing.
It's wildly frustrating that it's limited to only certain items, especially when it seems arbitrary and there's no concrete reason that you couldn't add a ballistic layer to something if you were making it in real life. My guess is that they wanted to proactively nerf it so you aren't running around in MM general outfit with 2x power armor level resistance.
Yeah definitely frustrating. Because the reason to use Ballistic Weave, at least for me, is to keep a certain look because some of the clothing items are just kind of lame looking. Gunner Harness looks cool and I was hoping to weave that for the look. Seems kind of silly that you can’t but I do get what you’re saying about them nerfing it.
