Production

We need a confirmation on the fact that a Pip-boy can be scrapped for fiber optics. --YoDsanklai (talk) 08:51, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

I think this is bogus information. There is indeed a MISC junk item variant (0001ee7c) of the Pip-boy that scraps into 2 fiber optics and one nuclear material, but that shouldn't be obtainable outside of console commands. Would need further looking into if that item is related to picking up the original one. But once picked up and equipped, there is no way to scrap the Pip-boy. --Alfwyn (talk) 20:28, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Replaying the start, the misc item version (with a skeleton hand still attached) is indeed the one before you pick it up. But once you do it is automatically converted, no way you can scrap that. You can't leave vault 111 without picking up the Pip-boy. --Alfwyn (talk) 20:01, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

Locations

Alexis in vault 81 sold a shipment of 25 last time I visited. Not sure if she consistently has them in stock though.

49 can be obtained in the Jamaica Plain Town Hall basement by disarming a large amount of laser tripwires. The tripwires can be reset by pushing a button in the same room for infinite fiber optics, crystals and steel.

-- I have exploited the heck out of this in past play-throughs - heavy laser turrets for all my settlements :) -, but the reset and re-harvest ability seems to be gone - I don't know if it's a recent patch to the main game, or if this obvious bug was fixed by one of my mods (the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch in particular)
