Here are the best methods for tracking down and producing Ballistic Fiber in Fallout 4.
Crafting is a major component of Fallout 4's gearing system. At certain workbenches, you can craft and modify various pieces of equipment, creating your ideal loadout. Of course, to craft any item, you'll need the right materials, and some are harder to get than others.
