Pip-Boy
The Pip-Boy 2000 Personal Information Processor is a small hand-held device, much like a PDA. Not to be confused with the Pip-Boy 2000 Plus, a wrist-worn model which is used by Chosen One, and Vault Dweller.
This device is capable of many useful functions, including:
- Archive menu is location that your Pip-Boy will save data received from any Holotape that may be read.
- Automaps renders terrain, stored in memory, of any location you visit.
- Status screen helps you to keep track of any quests you may undertake. Another feature of this menu is the character's cooldown timers. If you press Statistics you can view the list of awarded players in certain categories. You can also see there which gangs control which cities in the Town Control system.
Preview
To enter a location directly from the world map click on the triangle icon, available when you stand still. It will move you into the location and in-case it’s a Town straight on the main entrance. It is however advised to press the Town World button. This will bring you a menu, where you can see the available entrances to a certain city. Click on the triangle with an eye in it to see the preview.
This preview will show you the area (based on your Perception) you enter (this way you can avoid getting yourself killed right after entering the town). Remember to preview location you want to enter few times so you get view from diffrent 'spawn points'. You can highlight contours of players and NPCs covered by buildings by pressing Contours button while previewing location.
Quickbar
Quickbar is a useful tool designed to assist players in managing their equipment.
Setup
The Quickbar can be enabled or disabled by pressing Shift+F4.
It is possible to edit each individual slot by performing a left-click while holding Ctrl, Shift, or Ctrl+Shift.
1. Ctrl - Main hand slot, Second hand slot, Armor slot.
2. Shift - Skills: Sneak, Robbery, Engineering, Trap, FA, Doctor, Science, Repair.
3. Ctrl+Shift - have most options:
- Follower Commands - Numeric keypad can also be used for follower commands.
- Item Abilities
- Commands
Use
The most common application of the Quickbar is for weapon swapping. If a player uses more than one type of weapon during combat, it becomes easy to switch to another weapon without wasting the second hand slot.
If a player has only one weapon equipped and clicks on the slot containing that weapon while using the Quickbar, it will be unequipped, leaving the player with an empty hand. This can be useful for increasing running speed during combat when a weapon is slowing them down.
If a player has multiple weapons of the same type (e.g., two 10mm SMGs), the slot will switch between these two weapons. This is advantageous for weapons with low ammunition count and significant reload time. However, the Quickbar cannot unequip these weapons.
Switching weapons costs 1 Action Point (AP).
Players can assign a variety of other actions based on their specific needs. Actions such as using stimpaks, drugs, or swapping armor have their own associated costs, which depend on the action performed.
Tips
The Quickbar functions even when it is not visible on the screen.
In some resolutions, the Quickbar's placement may be misaligned. The default position is above the Action Points (AP) bar.
The registration menu is where you create your character. It is not a planning tool, however. This is only where you fill in all the information you need to register a new character. It is best if you carefully plan your character in advance of registration. Here, you choose the following:
- S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
- Traits
- Skills
- Age
- Sex
- Name, must consist of letters by 70% at least.
Note: It is possible to choose certain combinations of stats that are invalid, in which case the registration process will yield an error. For example, if you choose Bruiser, you get +4 points to Strength, so trying to set a Bruiser's Strength lower than 5 will not work.
See the Character page for more related links.
