Ballistic Weave Bugged?

[thepicgamer]

I completed a jackpot mission and now tinker tom sells armored clothing, but I can't add ballistic weave to my own clothing (only "armored" clothing I buy from Tom)

Ballistic weave can only be put on certain pieces. Like Army Fatigues and Military Fatigues. News Boy cap, etc. Some armored clothing. And you need to have the Ballistic Weave in the workshop or in the char's inventory.

There are 5 ranks for it and each rank takes a certain amount. You should be able to add it using the armor workbench. If Tinker Tom gave his speech to you about it. It is after you do the cache quest for Pam.

What are you trying to apply it to? Not all clothing items will accept ballistic weave.

if you need to know what clothing it can be applied to here is the link to the fallout wiki abt ballistic weave - https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistic_weave

I know only certain pieces of clothing can use BW but it doesn't give me the option to edit any of the clothing I own that should be able to be modded

Fallout 4 wiki: "After completing the first or second jackpot mission"
so perhaps u were just unlucky and have to wait for pams second Jackpot quest

Well, like I said, Tinker Tom has to talk to you about the discovery of the Ballistic Weave from the cache PAM had you get. Did you talk to him and he did that?

That is how I have got it in every run I have did. But like dermiserable posted, you may have to do the second cache quest for PAM.

Well, hopefully doing the second cache run for PAM will get you the ability to mod your items using it.

I have had Tom get bugged and not deliver the ability to make ballistic weave a couple times. It seems to happen when I have three railroad quests finished at once and hand them in quickly in the wrong order. I don't use it anyway so I never found a console command to enable weave. Now I always do that second cache quest on a solo hand-in.

update: it randomly started working. No new information from Tom it just works now.
