In Fallout 76 ballistic fibers are among the rarest and most important materials. This guide will tell you how and where to find ballistic fibers.
The higher you level up in Fallout 76, the rarer the materials you need for your equipment become. This includes ballistic fibers.
In this MeinMMO guide, you will learn from which junk the rare material can be refined and where you can find ballistic fibers.

Ballistic fibers are not easy to find
Only a few materials contain the rare ballistic fibers. Therefore, you can’t just go out and gather the material in one specific location.
Here’s how to get ballistic fibers: There are mainly two items from which you can obtain ballistic fibers:
- Ammunition bags – 2 ballistic fibers
- Military tape – 2 ballistic fibers, 4 glue
It is highly recommended to select ballistic fibers as a sought item. Then, it will show you for each item whether the sought material is included or not.

Here’s how to obtain ballistic fibers from Power Armors: The Power Armor chassis that you find in the world can also yield ballistic fibers. Depending on the chassis, you can get 1-5 fibers when you break them down.
If you know various locations of the Power Armors, you can simply hop from server to server and hope that a chassis is lying around.
If you are still looking for the blueprints for Power Armor stations: Our guide shows you how to get the blueprint.
