How to Get Ballistic Fiber in Fallout 76

Recommended Videos

Fallout 76 is here and with it a new struggle for survival against the elements of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Ballistic Fiber should be at the top of your list of materials to get as soon as possible, so we’re here to help with a guide on how to get Ballistic Fiber in Fallout 76.

In the wastelands of West Virginia, Ballistic Fiber is one of the more valuable armor crafting components around. With it, players can craft Ballistic Weave for their clothing and armor which increases their resistance to basic damage by a large margin.

The best way to obtain Ballistic Fiber is to break down Military Ammo Bags, though this is easier said than done. While they can be found in any location, these ammo bags are a rare find and players won’t see many unless they scavenge at the wreckage of military bases.

At military bases, however, Fallout 76 players will be able to find military ammo bags several times more often than at other locations. For proof, they can check out the ruins of Camp McClintock. Found to the north of the Lakeside Cabins, the base has a minimum of five Military Ammo Bags for players to find which each yield two ballistic fibers for use in crafting later, with more appearing based on RNG and the player character’s luck.

Other military bases in Fallout 76 will offer a similarly high yield of Ballistic Fibers, so players should always check these bases in order to maintain a steady supply.

Hopefully, this makes it a bit easier to work out how to get Ballistic Fibers. Fallout 76 is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. For more on the game, check out our Fallout 76 wiki for everything you need to know about crafting, easter eggs and so much more.
