Because logic

Totally agree , doesn't make any sense not being to be able to add BW to the Vault Suit and other pieces if clothing.

Probably the same person who decided that all BOS suits should have an external thong strap that goes right between the butt cheeks. Yeah. That looks comfortable. It's great if you want your SS to be into bdsn.

Ewww

Seconded

Obviously I hate that about them and refuse to wear them.

Luckily most, if not all, sturdy and heavy armor legs cover up your ass.

i've used the green BOS suit (only outfit that keeps a "slim" look) under shadowed leather since i first got it, and thought it made no logical reasoning for the one group who is obsessed with military technology to not be able to add BW to their suits/armors.

but after playing for over 800+ hours (mostly settlement building) i've thought about the fact that when facing level 129 opponents i still actually have to heal sometimes...but with BW under my armor i can't imagine there being much resistance to my onslaught.

even with that being said, i think i would still rather have the option...and i know i would use it on my silver shroud hat anyway.

Everything that's not an armor piece should be weavable, period

This

Completely agree. Why can a newsboy cap be weaved but a military cap can't? And this is off topic but I'd love for more Ammo conversions on guns. Give a combat rifle a .50 receiver with reduced fire rate(around 4/5) and give it a scope and you have an AMR.

Strongly agreed. The wide variety of pieces left off the ballistic weavable list is baffling.

Dude. The newsboy/military cap thing drives me insane! They're almost identical!!! Just like the fedoras. Like you can mod the flat rimmed one but if you bend the rim, forget it.

It's pretty obvious that the vault suits and BOS suits aren't weavable because armour can go over them and it would be overpowered. Of course an easy way to fix this would be to make it so that you can't wear armour over BW clothing.

Vault suits have their own mods and there are other clothing options that can have ballistic weave and wear all pieces of armour, army/military fatigues to be specific.

Ballistic weave pompadour. I will be a wreaking machine.

You can wear 2 BW'd items at the same time though. And as was pointed out there already are some outfits that can be weaved and accept full sets of armor on top, for exemple my melee SS wears dirty military fatigues and heavy metal armor on top, she has like 307 defense and everything is chip damage at best, even mini-nukes. I can shoot at my feet with a MIRV Big Boy several times and still live. Clearly OPness isn't their criteria for restriction.
