Platinum Chip
Item from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda
Pre-War data storage device disguised as a poker chip — Mr. House's master key to upgrading his Securitron army, and the single object that determines who controls New Vegas.
Also known as: The Chip, House's Chip, Securitron Upgrade
What They Know
- Contains software to upgrade Mr. House's Securitron robots from Mark I to Mark II — adding heavy weapons and self-repair
- Manufactured before the Great War but never delivered due to the bombs falling on the day of shipment
- Benny intercepted the original courier carrying it, shooting them in the head and stealing it
- Yes Man can use the chip independently of Mr. House, enabling a wild card takeover of New Vegas
- The chip only works in the Lucky 38's mainframe — it's useless hardware anywhere else
