That thing on your wrist - it's a convenience. It tells you where to go, what to do, dulls your brain. It may have helped you find the Sierra Madre broadcast, but it's just as much a crutch today as it was in the Old World.

The Pip-Boy is a promotional Miscellaneous item for the Engineer. It appears as a wrist-mounted computer device with a green monochrome screen, modeled after the famous Pip-Boy series produced by the fictional company RobCo Industries in the video game series Template:W.

When equipped, the Pip-Boy features a revised PDA HUD to match the looks of the device.

The Pip-Boy is awarded in Genuine quality to players who own Fallout: New Vegas before August 8, 2011.
