Is ballistic weave on some hats a bug or something?

110 physical defense and 110 energy defense form a single hat?

When I combine it with underclothing I get 220/220 and I hadn't layered on those weak pieces of armor yet and it seems a bit over the top to me.

Was a decimal moved wrong with ballistic weave when they made it?

22/22 wouldn't be terrible for underclothing and a hat that give special.

I think it might be. The only one I know of is the Newsboy Cap. Do you know of another hat that applies the ballistic weave?

But I have to say, it's nice to have the option of armored clothing for those of us not too "excited" by power armor. I sport a nice Faded trench coat (like the one Nick Valentine is wearing) with a military hat and patrol sunglasses (like you I figured adding the Newsboy cap would be too OP), and it looks good for a sniper, pistol with silencer character. I have 110/110 for physical and energy.

I'm looking for a full list of clothing that can use ballistic weave. If you have one, please do share.

I know of the suits, dirty or clean, the dresses, the toxedo, the trench coast, military fatigues, army fatigues, minutemen outfit, ????.

They should probably fix the issue for the cap, but not the clothes IMO. It gives us players who don't like sporting armor an option. Not realistic, but hey, it's Fallout.

worn fedora if I remember right.

I wouldn't mind if the underclothes a bit less. Maybe something to make them more comparable to the power fully upgraded vault suit. 110/110 for your underclothes is insane.

And the over clothes that don't stack could maybe at max armored fix to be equal to heavy combat armors cap for something with max armor since it can't have deep pockets and just has a 2 special boost.

They still aren't as weird as 110 physical 110 energyor a fedora or newsboy cap.

That would still be pretty good ballistic weave.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's the first one I tried. I gave it to Curie.Having a sort of robotic arm is fitting for her. Looks like you can upgrade Maxson's Battlecoat. Good to know.

Ballistic Weave is a bit OP, but its not like they force you to use it or power armor.

Not to mention there is a precedent in the Bridge keeper's robes.

it's not that it's force it's just that it makes all other armor disappointing and with so much game left it feels early for equipment disappointment.
