Pimp-Boy 3 Billion

The Pimp-Boy 3 Billion is a unique piece of clothing in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Pimp-Boy 3 Billion is a standard Pip-Boy 3000 that has been "pimped out" with what appears to be gold and silver (or platinum) plating as well as encrusted diamonds. Once received, the player automatically replaces the old Pip-Boy 3000 with the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion. To switch back to your original Pip-Boy 3000, simply talk to Mick again and select "I'd like to switch to my Pip-Boy."

Location
The Pimp-Boy 3 Billion can be obtained from Mick of Mick & Ralph's as part of an unmarked quest to determine why the Omertas (of the Gomorrah casino) have stopped purchasing weapons from him. This is initiated by talking to Mick and asking the question, "How's business?" followed by "What's the deal with the Omertas?" at any time prior to completing the quest How Little We Know. The player will be given a note outlining Mick's request. The player must then complete How Little We Know.

If you complete the quest by siding with the bosses, you can convince Big Sal to buy guns from Mick again. The player can then return to Mick and inform him that the Omertas will once again be purchasing weapons from him, at which point he will reward the player with the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion.

If you side with Cachino, another way of getting it is to free Troike from his contract. Cachino will tell the player about Troike's incident, which involves a dead hooker. The hooker's corpse will be located in the Suites level of the hotel, and will require a Medicine skill of 35 or higher to examine. Once done, go back to Troike and ask him about the hooker (and not about the gun shipments). There is a medicine check in the conversation in which you will need a Medicine skill of 30 to pass. After passing it, offer to talk to Big Sal about letting Troike out of his contract. Once the player is prompted to do so, go talk to Big Sal and pick the option of paying off Troike's contract with 300 caps. Passing the Speech check (53) or the Barter check (45) will also work. Tell Troike the good news and he'll tell you about destroying the gun shipments. After destroying the shipment with Troike's thermite, go back to Cachino and finish the quest. Once finished, simply talk to Mick. He will thank the player on clearing up what the Omertas were doing. There should be an option on letting Mick know that the Omertas will be buying from him again. Mick will then award the player with the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion.

Bugs

 * Female characters will hold the Pimp-Boy at an angle, due to the item not having a separate mesh specified for female wearers.
 * A third-party fix for this bug can be found here: New Vegas Nexus
 * Sometimes when placing your map marker the map will dissapear leaving only the location markers. Fix by exiting the Pimp-Boy and returning. This can also happen with your default Pip-Boy if you have Old World Blues installed.
 * Sometimes, after completing the How Little We Know quest, you can't tell Mick that the Omertas are buying his weapons again. To work around this, before telling Troike to destroy the weapons, have his contract destroyed by talking to Big Sal before completing the quest. Then tell Troike he is free and then tell him to destroy the guns. Finish the quest by killing the bosses and return to Mick. Even though he mentions that the Omertas won't buy from him anymore the speech option is there indicating they will, which gives you the pimp boy.
 * Alternatively, you can add the Pimp-Boy using console command and then . To revert back to your old Pip-Boy enter.
 * If you add the Pimp-Boy through the console's add/equip method above you can then go to Mick & Ralph's and the option to switch back to the old Pip-Boy is there. This bypasses the speech glitch and allows you to switch Pip-Boys as normal.
 * The Pimp-Boy 3 Billion is often much brighter or much darker than the outside light level. At night time, the Pimp-Boy will sometimes be as bright as day, and vise-versa. This can be fixed by turning in a different direction from the sun or moon and it will go back to normal.
 * If you initiate the How Little We Know quest and then kill the Omertas inside the Gomorrah you will not be able to get the Pimp-Boy.
 * The Pimp-Boy's scroll button won't move up or down when you highlight a different item.
 * The switch that lets the player move to the side (i.e when you change the weapons to apparel, aid etc) the button is misplaced.
 * If Cachino is killed in the gunfight with Nero and Big Sal, you will not be able to talk to Mick and will not receive the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion.
 * Sometimes when the Pimp-boy 3 Billion light is off, it still shows the glow from it but doesn't account for light and still causes enemies to see you while sneaking.
