Template:Item
The RobCo Stealth Boy 3001 is a personal stealth device worn on one's wrist. It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible).
Locations
Stealth Boys can be found everywhere in The Capital Wasteland and in shops like Moira's "Craterside Supply" and in most locations (see below for specific locations). Stealth Boys can also be found in ammo crates, metal crates and rarely on fallen enemy bodies. There are also several on display in the Museum of Technology.
Caveat: The following locations should be verified independently. There are many Stealth Boys scattered about the wasteland. Until verification is done, no guarantees can be made as to the absolute veracity of all the following locations for all players.

Notes
- The in game appearance of the stealth field generated by the Stealth Boy is identical to that generated by the Chinese Stealth Suit.
- Effect lasts for one in-game hour. If you use an additional Stealth Boy when a previous one is still active, the duration of the stealth effect does not replenish - it 'stacks', so the effect will last two hours.
- If you use a PC version, you can use the "set timescale to [multiplier]" console command to extend the Stealth Boy's duration to the desired time. From patch 1.5, it lasts 2 real time minutes no matter what timescale is used.
- The use of the Stealth Boy while in combat with non-hostile NPCs and then crouching causes combat to stop. The NPCs revert to being friendly.
- Looks like the Geomapper Module.
- When you are wearing the Stealth Boy you can see a large cone sticking out of your Pip-Boy.
- All three Stealth Boys in the Museum of Technology are larger than regular ones.
Behind the Scenes
- The in game appearance of the stealth field generated by the Stealth Boy is virtually identical to the stealth field generated by The Predator.
Bugs
- There is a glitch where in activating a Stealth Boy causes the hair mesh of a character not wearing any headgear to appear on the Pip-Boy, visible in 3rd-person view.
