The Pip-Boy is a promotional miscellaneous item for the Engineer. It is a wrist-mounted computer device with a green-glowing monochrome screen, and several buttons and knobs. The device is modeled after the Pip-Boy 3000 series produced by the fictional RobCo Industries in the video game series Fallout.

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

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchased Fallout: New Vegas before August 8, 2011. It was also awarded in Unique quality to players who purchased the Quakecon Bundle before 10AM PDT on August 6th, 2012.

Trivia

  • The specific model of Pip-Boy is that of the 3000, as it is presented in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. The Pip-Boy was produced as a co-venture between RobCo. Industries and Vault-Tec, before the Great War. RobCo. produces a variety of automated devices, including robots and automated weaponry, not unlike the Engineer's own contraptions.
  • This item's description references the eye-popping prettiness blurb on the 'key features' section on Fallout 3's Steam page.
