The main important distinction being that none of the factions (Institute not included), even the enclave, are creating their own tech better than pre-war stuff instead simply working off of what already exists. Improved on and used in full post war by whatever faction. Not only does it feature the invisible mode as expected, but also comes with an array of.

The Nexus equivalent by Unoctium is quite unlike the Creation Club equivalent. That aside, it functions exactly the same as it did before in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. In Chris Avellone's fallout bible he briefly details they failed to produce any power armor variation that is a real improvement on traditional power armor until APA is produced as an upgraded version of Power Armor.Ĭombine that with X-01 from Fallout 4, which is similar in style but visually distinct and blatantly a pre-war prototype in name, and it seems like it has a development parallel to the VB-02 vertibirds.Įssentially: Prewar prototype intended for full release that never comes due to war. In Fallout 4, this Creation Club armor is not modifiable as opposed to most other armors. But there is nothing in the games themselves. I even went on a goose chase for lore when someone told me there was a terminal with all the details on the Oil Rig. In reality no origin is given for it in any game, it's just what the Enclave use.

Thus there are no known Pip-Boy versions that are wrist-mounted. The RPG was never completed, and never canon. which he was devising during the development of Van Buren. This claim was left unsourced, but is infact based on JE Sawyer's pen and paper rpg. The misconception came about due to an unsourced claim on the wikia, that the wrist-mounted device seen in the game was infact a separate edition unofficially refered to as 2000 plus. You can see this misconception in the occasional piece of fan-art, cosplay or mod work. The Vault Dweller's Survival guide, intended to be an in-universe guide.
