Vault-tec bobbleheads are a staple of the Fallout series, being collectible items that offer players who collect them some material benefit like increased SPECIAL stats, a bonus to energy weapon damage, or more caps when scavenging. Fallout 76 is no different, having a whole set of rare Vault-tec bobbleheads for players to collect.
But the bobbleheads in Appalachia work a little differently, being consumable aid items that give only a temporary bonus. They're still fantastic items to collect, though, and offer a wide range of bonuses to any lucky player who can find one - which is always the tricky part. Fortunately, all Fallout 76 bobbleheads can spawn at each spawn point, so it's just a matter of time.
