📋 About This Mod
A small mod that simply unlocks the Ballistic weave for people that don't believe the Railroad should be the sole keepers of the weave. It does NOT add new items nor allow Ballistic weave to be placed on anything other than vanilla items as it was originally intended.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (1,048 endorsements) — this is a go-to fix for a common annoyance.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says — no bloat, no extra features to fiddle with.
- 81k downloads prove it's been tested by tons of players and works reliably.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — might have issues with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update.
- No documentation or install instructions provided by the author — you're on your own if something goes wrong.
- Only affects Ballistic Weave — if you wanted other Railroad perks unlocked, this won't help.
For Fallout 4 players who hate being forced into the Railroad questline just to get Ballistic Weave. If you're roleplaying a character that wouldn't join the Railroad, or you just want the armor mod without the faction grind, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla requirement or want more extensive gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple ESP, just drop it into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- This mod doesn't require a new game — it should work on existing saves, but make sure you don't have other mods that alter Ballistic Weave.
