In the wake of renewed interest in the Fallout series, a fan put together a collage that showcased how the Pip-Boy device changed in its designs over the years.
The Fallout fan shared five different versions of the Pip-Boy designs that are most commonly used throughout the series, and other fans commented about which designs were their favorites.
The Pip-Boy is a wrist-mounted computer that has become a Fallout series staple. Also called the Personal Information Processor (PIP), the Pip-Boy was created by RobCo Industries, and later revisions were made by both RobCo and Vault-Tec Industries, the company behind the series' vaunted Vaults.
However, the Pip-Boy is considered a pre-war device, meaning that in the year 2077 of the series, production would cease due to the world's destruction as a result of nuclear warfare.
In the Fallout games, the Pip-Boy is used by players for a variety of purposes. Between checking inventory, viewing the map, playing holotapes, and maxing out the player's skills and statistics, the Pip-Boy has seen plenty of revisions over the years.
