Pip-Boy 3000



The Pip-Boy 3000 is a hand-held electronic device produced by RobCo Industries and is one of several Pip-Boy models that were issued as standard to Vault-Tec Vaults. The device has numerous functions, and its capable of displaying the character's stats, area maps, inventory, Geiger counter, and radio. It is also possible to illuminate the screen to a level that is sufficient to light the area immediately around the user, acting as a makeshift lantern in darkened areas.

Unlike Pip-Boy 2000, it can't normally be taken off by its wearer because of its biometric seals, and is only removed by an authorized Vault engineer for servicing.
