Fallout 4 Pipboy Upgrades (2024)

FAQs

How do you fix the Pip-Boy glitch in Fallout 4? ›

You can try to use "player. equipitem 00021b3b" in the ingame console in order to get your pipboy back. Save the game, load the save, the pipboy should return. In this guide I will give a quick walkthrough on how to fix this glitch.

Unlike the Pip-Boy 3000A, which was designed to be permanently affixed to the user's forearm via a biometric lock, the Mark IV has a simple manual latching mechanism, allowing it to be taken on and off at will with ease.

Sadly, no. The Pip-Boy stays as is through the game. You can't upgrade it, but honestly, with all the other stuff you can mod and tweak in the game, the Pip-Boy not being upgradeable isn't a huge deal. It's iconic as it is!

right click while you have it open, until it goes bigger. When you have the pipboy up, right click. This should zoom it in, no mods or anything required. If it doesn't work the first time just try it a few more times, it's not always responsive.

Radio doesn't affect sneak. Pip-boy light does. Fog also effects this, but not in far harbor.

If you used the Nightvision (or vampire perk w/e it is called), it will blur the edges of your vision and is quite horrible, I would not recommend doing it. That being said, if you have crouched previously to using the Terminal, you will be in NV sight mode, and will reflect in the Terminal, making it hard to read.

But thanks to the Fallout live-action series, we have a literal answer to the question, “Who is Vault Boy?” It turns out the original Vault Boy is an actor named Cooper Howard (later known as the Ghoul), who was hired by Vault-Tec to represent the brand in a series of print ads and commercials.

The versions most encountered are variants of the Pip-Boy 2000 and Pip-Boy 3000, which are designed to be secured upon the wearer's wrist. Many models were designed with biometric locks, preventing them from being removed while the wearer still lives."

Cooper Howard Invented Vault Boy's Thumbs Up In Fallout

Howard explains that he was taught to stick his thumb up if a bomb were to be dropped. If the mushroom cloud is lower than the thumb, one should run, whereas one is as good as dead if the cloud is higher than the thumb.

You can save Shaun and bring him out of the Institute. Or you can deny him and leave him behind to die with the others. There is nothing else you have to do to make this moment happen.

What does the Pip-Boy 2000 do? ›

RobCo Industries PIP-Boy 2000 is a pre-War personal information processor from RobCo's Pip-Boy line of products, designed to provide its users with a powerful tool for organizing their life, keeping track of activities, storing data, traveling, and much, much more.

By talking to Mick after the quest How Little We Know and asking how his business is and telling him that the Omertas are buying his guns again, the Pimp-Boy can be obtained.

You can try to use "player. equipitem 00021b3b" in the ingame console in order to get your pipboy back. Save the game, load the save, the pipboy should return.

Use The Flashlight in Fallout 4

Turning this light on is extremely easy, as players will just need to hold down the button that opens the Pip-Boy menu. This casts a bright light around them in whatever color the Pip-Boy is set to. (Pro Tip: change the color scheme to white for a brighter light in dark areas.)

As useful as the companion app was though, it was eventually delisted. The official statement provided by Bethesda's Support website claims that it was removed “due to incompatibilities with current requirements. Currently, no plans are announced to update the app”.
