The Pip-Boy in gameplay

 

The PIP-Boy 2000 Mark VI is a pre-War Personal Information Processor (PIP) manufactured by RobCo Industries and acts as a database for the wearer's personal information and inventory. It is an updated version of the Pip-Boy 2000.

Characteristics

The Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI is an advanced variant of RobCo's flagship personal computing product. Each Vault Dweller leaving Vault 76 was issued a Mark VI to assist in their goal of rebuilding Appalachia 25 years after the Great War.

It is capable of tracking the wearer's status and any active or completed quests and also organizes the wearer's inventory. An overlay of the data is also available. In addition, the device features a radio upgrade module, Geiger counter, an advanced compass that displays discovered locations and nearby persons and creatures, and lighting functionality. A holotape player is mounted beneath the display.

Sections

On the main display of the Mark VI are four primary sections, each with specific subsections as followed.

STATS

STATS is an overview of the player character's general health, physical wellbeing, and capabilities. The information in this section is broken down into three subsections:

Tab	Display
STATUS	Displays the user's current health as compared to the user's total health, the user's name, the user's level, damage output on their current weapon, and damage resistance from their current armor. Health bars for each limb of the user are also displayed to show how healthy or damaged a limb may be. The Vault Boy animation on the screen will change depending on whether the user has crippled limbs.
EFFECTS	Displays the current positive and negative effects that the user has accumulated.
SPECIAL	Displays the user's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes.

ITEM

ITEM is an overview of the player character's inventory. At the very bottom of the screen, the wearer's carry weight limitations and amount of caps can be seen, in addition to showing the damage output of the wearer's current weapon and the Damage Resistance of the armor they are currently wearing. In all sections, the weight and value of items are listed when the item is selected.

Notes

• While the 2000 Mark VI has a generally similar design to its predecessor model as shown by the color scheme, vacuum tubes, exposed wiring, and use of the older RobCo Pip-Boy mascot on its nameplate rather than Vault Boy, some components have been relocated to the right side of the screen, and there are additional knobs.
• One significant structural difference compared to the newer Pip-Boy 3000 and Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV is that the 2000 Mark VI's casing does not completely enclose the wearer's wrist and is instead secured by a wraparound leather cuff with a buckle, instead of the hinged hard cases of the 3000 and 3000 Mark IV models that were closed with a latch.
• Unlike the Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV, the "ITEMS" section of the Pip-Boy splits holotapes and notes into their own sub-category, instead of being grouped together in the miscellaneous section.
• Before the war, an upgrade for the 2000 Mark VI was in development by a team of researchers led by a doctoral candidate at Vault-Tec University.

Behind the scenes

• The Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI references the Pip-Boy 2000, utilized in New Californian vaults in both Fallout and Fallout 2.
• A real world Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI kit was produced by The Wand Company. It consists of a model kit with over 150 parts and in-universe instructions. The completed model is 1:1 scale, wearable, and has moving buttons and knobs, but has no electronic functionality.
