Fallout 2 enhancements
In Fallout 2, there are enhancements that are designed only to work with PIPBoy (which the Chosen one happen to have). The game contains two such enchancement modules, Linguistic and Medical. Both of these are obtained in New Reno, with the medical enhancement being one of the most obscure items in the game. Both of the enhancements are one of a kind.

Pip Expansion Hardware
Tech Level: 8 All Pip Boy models can download and tranfer data from holodiscs. All models can also accept expansion hardware. Expansion hardware comes in the form of data tubes, which are highly advanced, jam-packed vacuum tubes. Data tubes cannot be written to with Pip Boys, but their data can be accessed while they are connected. Pip Boy 2000 models can take six tubes, 2000 Plus models can take four, and Lil' Pip 3000s can take six.
