Fallout: The Traveler/Paimon Pip

The Paimon Pip is a handheld piece of equipment originally developed by Celestia before Halcyon Technologies took over development after the fall of Celestia worn in Fallout: The Traveler, serving as a database for the wearer's personal information and inventory.

Background

The Paimon Pip is a handheld tablet-like device, making more portable and compact than the RobCo Pip-Boys. This multifunction device has been programmed by Paimon Pip developers to display the Wearer's properties.

Much like the RobCo Pip-Boy, the Paimon Pip also includes a Geiger counter, radio, flashlight and can cross compatible with Holodisks. A user can set their color preference for the display.

Functions

Statistics

Paimon Pip OS supports user health notifications, munitions monitoring, quest tracking, and audio playback. Additionally, just like with the RobCo Pip-Boy, it integrates with the onboard computers of power armor, allowing a user to access their Paimon Pip from within the armor via a HUD-like on-visor display. The statistics menu, or 'Stats', shows the user's damage and damage threshold, health, AP, experience, and limb condition. The levels of their SPECIAL attributes are shown in a separate tab, the second tab shows the skill levels as well as indicating positive(+) or negative(-) status effects on them and the third tab displaying various perks they have acquired.

Modifications

All Paimon-Pips can download and transfer datafrom holotapes like the Pip-Boy. All Paimon-Pips can also accept expansion hardware. Expansion hardware comes in the form of data card, which are highly advanced, jam-packed modules . Data cards cannot be written to with Paimon-Pip, but their data can be accessed while they are connected. Paimon-Pip models can take six slots.

Trivia

• The UI of the Paimon-Pip is the combination of Fallout 4 Pip-Boy (combined with the FallUI series and ySI mods for Fallout 4 and New Vegas respectively) and The Paimon Menu from Genshin Impact. While the font for the Paimon Pip is based on Fallout 1/2 and the icons for perks, quests and companions are from Pip-Boys animated like in Fallout 4. While the Map section is heavily based off the 3D Map system from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
• Unlike the Pip-Boys in the previous games where it was wrist mounted, the Paimon Pip is handheld. Of which this heavily inspired by the New Vegas mod, A Familar Friend - Pip-Boy 2500.
• Although the Paimon Pip replaces the Pip-Boy series, there are handful of NPCs that still use the RobCo Pip-Boys, especially originated from Vaults and they can be still used in Immersion mode depending on the character you play as.
