Welcome.I dont know what Pip-Boy is better
1.3000


2.2500

Spoiler:

3.Readius

Spoiler:

I really like the Readius but just as its sleek looking and feels like it really fits in fingers. It also seems to work a bit better for me, have tried a couple others and this one just well works The 2500 I did like very well too, think its just what kind of look you are going for as I found them pretty similar.

I wish someone would remake this for Fallout 4 that clunky thing that sits on the wrist the size of a small dog is a pain. If I remember correctly got it as saw a video where Gopher was talking about it and liked it so much had to go and get it lol.

I really like the Pip Boy 2500, it has the portable size of the Readius with the Fallout feel, the Readius was a little modern for me and the textures seems off too imo.
I loved the Pip Boy 3000 but most modded armor clips with it so in the end, I chose the 2500.

I use the 2500. Mainly because it fits in more with New Vegas. Like what Mojave Plasma said, it's a bit too modern and sleek.

If you're planning on using armor/clothing mods such as Dragbody's armors than go with the readius to avoid clipping and overall looks better at least for me. Though the Readius does have issues such as weapons appearing on the left side and arm glitches.

if i use readius i have something like this

Spoiler:

Pipboy 2500. The readius looks too out of place and the sounds it makes annoys me.

That's not a Readius problem, that's you having incorrect body textures/no archive invalidation.

I just typically stick with the vanilla one. It's easy enough to toggle it off for screenshots with Groovatron.

Eh, deepens what kind of playthrough I'm doing. My current one is a vault dweller (Yeah, I know. Real original. ) so I'm using the default pipboy. However I'm using a mod from the GUNetwork to change it into the Fallout 4 pipboy.

Now the last playthrough I was an old west bounty hunter and so I used the readius. It's easy to set up and uninstall if need be (Unlike the FO3 one, which gave me tons of problems). If you ever want to change the look of the Readius, there are a few retextures on the Nexus.

i tend to like the 2500 more because it fits better into fallout then the readius, but the readius is still really cool. i guess it depends on your liking's. i also like to use the blue nuka cola skin for the 2500

I prefer the readius. Looks way more cooler than the 2500 but not lore friendly.

I would have to go with the pip boy 2500. Mainly because it fits in with the lore of the game. The problem i have with the readius is it feels to high tech to be in a wasteland. And the sound really bugs me

I like the vanilla one the pipboy 3000 cause if I use handheld pipboy's the gun after I exit the menu will go frome left to right that's why Im frustated to use handheld ones but it's good if you don't care about that thing

I keep the 3000 for my first unmodded playthrough and then use a remover because it clips with so many outfits. The Readius looks neat but it's way too sleek for the wasteland, but I think it could fit with some modifications. The 2500 both fits the feel of the games and doesn't clip horribly so its the winner for me.

Depends on the character I'm playing. Right now, I'm using the vanilla becasuse....Hell, why do I use it? I think I just forgot to install the replacer this time.

Anyway...If I'm going for a more role-friendly character/playthrough I choose the 2500. It fits perfectly with the Fallout universe.
When I already have some "modern mods" installed, especially when it comes to my character's gear, I'm using the Readius.
However the 2500 also have less problems. Well, at least in my experince, but it seems like the others say the same.

2500, never was a fan of wrist-mounted pipboys because they looked way too bulky. The readius in my opinion doesn't compliment the Fallout universe very well either.

Can't go wrong with the old school Pip-Boy 2500!
