In this Fallout 76 Bobbleheads Guide, we will detail everything there is to know about Bobbleheads in Fallout 76. Bobbleheads are scattered throughout West Virginia and you will collect quite a few as you travel across the wastelands. You must know everything about these Bobbleheads since each of them is unique and provides different bonuses.
Bobbleheads have been in Fallout games for a long time but in Fallout 76, their working has been greatly changed. Earlier, Bobbleheads used to give you a permanent bonus as long as you had that Bobblehead in your inventory however now, they act more like consumables and their bonuses wear off after a designated time. We have curated this Fallout 76 Bobbleheads Guide in which we have detailed the types of Bobbleheads, the bonuses they provide, and where you can find them.
Bobbleheads Guide – Fallout 76
Our Fallout 76 Bobbleheads Guide details everything that you need to know about Bobbleheads. As mentioned earlier, the Bobbleheads now only give you a timed bonus rather than a permanent bonus. Due to this change, we recommend that you collect and keep them safe and use them only when you have to. Otherwise, just keep them handy for another situation.
Since they now act as timed bonuses, you can consume them and safely quit the game. When you come back, the bonuses will still be active. They count the in-game time and not the real-world time so you do not need to worry about your bonuses wearing off while you are not playing the game.
You can increase your luck and use different types of perks present in the game which will help you increase the time these Bobbleheads remain active and increase the effectiveness of their boosts. The spawn locations of these Bobbleheads also vary now. Sometimes they will not spawn for you because someone else already took them before you and sometimes the Bobblehead will vary at that location.
Let’s look at the different types of Bobbleheads present in Fallout 76 and where to find them.
