what's up guys my name is ESO and
welcome to the channel in this video I'm
going to show you how to unlock and use
the ballistic weave upgrade I will also
show you the best armor combination and
how to achieve this for yourself as you
can see I have the most armor that you
can get in the game 370 physical damage
resistance and 416 energy resistance the
best armor that you can achieve without
using power armor and of course you can
wear power armor over the top if you
like as well the term best gets thrown
around a lot these days on YouTube by
people that don't bother to do proper
research but I can tell you that this is
the actual best armor combination in the
game and you're not going to need any
downloadable content to do this so what
we need to get first is the ballistic
weave armor upgrade the ballistic weave
art grade is a modification that you can
use to apply to most clothing in the
game using it will give you 110 armor
and energy resistance which is obviously
pretty incredible so to get this mod for
ourselves we're going to have to do a
few quests for the railroad luckily
though you will not actually need to
side with them so doing this quest won't
affect your standing with any other
faction so I highly recommend that you
do this quest from every character no
matter what faction you side with just
to get the ballistic weave mod so first
we must actually find the railroad to do
this go straight to the Old North Church
you can head right there from sanctuary
it's here on the map
once you get here just head on inside
and go right
we must go downstairs to the basement
continue along the path and you'll
eventually find this puzzle so to unlock
the door here you're simply going to
turn the wheel to spell out the word
railroad to do this just line up the
arrow with each letter and then press
the middle button to select that letter
spell out railroad no spaces once you're
done a secret passage will unlock
congratulations you've found the
railroad and you'll get greeted by
Desdemona and deacon
now just agree to help out the railroad
we must now complete a list of quests to
obtain the ballistic weave mod this is
pretty straightforward and very easy to
do the locations I talked about and
these quests will all be marked out on
your pip-boy
so make sure you just select the quest
and it will tell you where to go first
up is the quest called tradecraft and
this is done with deacon the guy in the
white shirt and glasses this requires
you to get into a safe house and steal
some stuff you will have an option of
two routes during the quest I suggest
going for the sneaky option if you want
an easier time you will also get the
unique deliverer when doing this quest
this is basically one of the best
pistols in the game and you also unlock
deacon as a companion this is probably
the longest quest that you'll need to
complete so after you're done return to
the railroad HQ and talk to dr.
Carrington he will give you the next
quest
it's called Boston off the dog in this
quest you must save a synth called Haeju
222
it's basically an escort mission where
you have to escort him to a safe house
so it's relatively simple but once
you're done just head back to the
railroad HQ and talk to the doctor again
to turn in the quest now when you're
done you must talk to pan
she's the assault from robot she looks
like this she's also in the railroad HQ
firstly she'll introduce herself and
there's sometimes a bug where she won't
give you the quest if this happens just
do other quests for the railroad and
then come back to her and she'll
eventually give you that quest but
usually she should give it to you
straight away the quest you'll give you
is called Mercer's safehouse this quest
requires you to secure a safe
obviously you'll be sent to a random
settlement and you literally just have
to clear out the area and set up some
defenses for it it's very
straightforward literally just put down
two turrets and that apparently counters
and not defense and that will complete
the quest so when you're done go back to
the railroad HQ and talk to Pam again
she will then give you the final mission
that we need in order to unlock the
ballistic weave armor mode she will give
you the quest called jackpot she'll give
you this card and then she'll send you
off to a random location just go to the
random location and you'll find a secret
passage that will be open by the card
automatically when you approach it all
you actually need to do is open the
secret door you don't actually need to
loot the stuff but obviously you will
and that's it just head back to HQ go
back to Pam and turn in the quest and
now straightaway you must go and talk to
Tinker Tom about what you found in the
dia cache now Gingka tom is also in the
railroad HQ he looks like this this pie
is a little bit weird because if this is
the first time you've spoken to him he
will talk to you about something
completely unrelated so if you've not
spoken to him you may try and send you
on a quest why I suggest doing is just
exhausting his dialogue and then just
leaving the area and coming back we are
basically trying to get him to say this
diary
see man the cache you found has some
real serious high-tech but the creme de
la creme is ballistic polymer we
lightweight serious stopping power and
it looks just like normal clothing I
guess I miss that now give me some time
I got all sorts of ideas
show me what you got I will set you up
and then when he says this he will give
you the ballistic weave not but nothing
in the game actually tells you that he
gave it to you you just need to have
this conversation with Tinker Tom about
it and then you will have unlocked it to
apply to your armor or if you've had the
conversation just get some clothes the
ballistic weave mod can be applied to
most clothing found in the game I
recommend using clothes that already
have a bonus attached to them like the
baseball uniform that gives you +1
strength and agility also don't forget
that it works on hats like the battered
Fedora - I'll leave a list of good items
you can use and where you can get them
in the description below now just go to
any armor crafting workbench and select
your clothing you will see that there
are five ranks of the ballistic weave
mod available to you to unlock the
higher levels of the mod you must
upgrade your armor a perk even at the
first rank though it gives you 30 energy
and damage resistance and then at rank 5
which is the one you want it will give
you a hundred and ten damage and energy
resistance so apply it to your clothes
and your hat and then put your hat and
clothes on and that gives you a total of
220 physical damage and energy
resistance for your heart though I do
suggest using the green rag hat as it
gives you +10 more energy resistance so
that gives you a total of 230 energy
resistance instead so another great
thing is that we can also wear armor on
top of our clothing so the best choice
of armor to wear is full heavy synth
armor it provides the highest armor
rating combination of 320 free physical
armor and 350 energy resistance I have a
guide on where to get full heavy synth
armor in the description it's pretty
easy to do so we already have a
ridiculously high armor rating but wait
you can also upgrade the rating of the
synth armor at a workbench to an even
higher armor rating so to do this you're
going to want to first upgrade all the
synth armor with the Nano filament
upgrade this is going to boost your
online energy resistance you can then
get a little bit more energy resistance
if you upgrade the chest piece to have
an asbestos lining so then make sure
you've got your hat and you
baseball outfit oh and put all your sin
thumb on over the top of that and that
my friends is the best armor rating in
the game you can get excluding power
armor now some people have said that
combat armor is better but they are
simply incorrect since armor is better
in every way apart from perhaps the
appearance because let's be honest we do
look like a walking kitchen appliance
but even the synth armor upgrades are
better than the combat on upgrades so
get the synth armor also if you want to
be really crazy and pretty much
invincible you can get the legendary
Sentinel effect on your synth armor then
each piece of armor will reduce the
damage you take by 15% each so that's a
total of 75% damage reduction and then
if you've got the lone wanderer perk at
Rank 3 you will have a total damage
reduction of 105 percent so that means
you're having the incoming damage that
you take so on survival mode it just
turns the game into an absolute joke and
you can actually get your damage
reduction even higher than this just
check out my build guide on how to do

while to make these in-depth video
strategy guides but you guys can expect
all the information to be correct and
well researched I'd really appreciate it
