The bobbleheads in Fallout are a fun side activity as players rummage the wasteland looking for them. As an extra perk, they even give stat bonuses.

While exploring the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3players might stumble across bobbleheads. The bobbleheads can be located in obvious places or require the player to search for them. The collectibles also upgrade the player's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skills and their skills by one point. After being found, the bobbleheads can be displayed in the player's home.

Searching for the bobbleheads is a great way for the player to explore the wasteland entirely. Some collectible locations will cause the player to go to areas they would have normally never gone. While the bobbleheads add +1 to a skill, it will not make the skill go above 10 or 100.

19 Bobblehead - Agility

The agility bobblehead can be found at the Greener Pastures disposal site. The area is covered in radiation and wasteland creatures, such as Yao Guai. Any person venturing into this area should make sure they have Rad-X or a radiation suit.

The bobblehead is located inside the disposal site's office. It will be located next to the terminal on the desk. Picking up this item will give players +1 to their agility.

18 Bobblehead - Barter

The barter bobblehead can be found inside the Evergreen Mills bazaar. The area is a base for raiders, so be ready to fight for this collectible. Players can find the bobblehead by heading to the NPC named Smiling Jack. To the right of his shop is a workbench area.

The bobblehead will be located on the shelf to the right. It offers +10 barter to the player, giving them a better price in shops. Despite being made before the war, the bobblehead will also be holding up a cap.

17 Bobblehead - Big Guns

Players who enjoy using bigger weapons will want to find this bobblehead. It is located at Fort Constantine at the northern point of the wasteland. Players will need to head into the basement of the CO quarters to find this one.

There will be a Protectron that players need to deal with in the basement area. A little further from this encounter, players will find an open safe. Instead will be the bobblehead, some caps, and the nuclear launch codes for the fort. Talk about a big gun.

16 Bobblehead - Endurance

Located closely to broadcast tower KB5 is the deathclaw sanctuary. Inside of that location will be the endurance bobblehead. Heading into the cave players are able to find a brahmin corpse and a small table. On the table is the bobblehead and some loot.

Along with the bobblehead, players are able to find a mini nuke and a "Nikola Tesla and You" book. There is also a Nuka-Cola Quantum close by. While it is understandable to get the collectible and leave, there is some other loot to be found close by.

15 Bobblehead - Energy Weapons

After being captured by the Enclave, players will be brought to Raven Rock. The player will escape their cell and have to fight their way through the base. After making it to section 2C, players should head to their left. They will find themselves inside of Colonel Autumn's room.

The bobblehead will be located on the desk to the right of the entrance. It gives a boost to energy weapons, fitting for the base's faction. Be sure to pick this one up, as players cannot reenter the base once they leave.

14 Bobblehead - Explosives

Located close to the deathclaw sanctuary is the WKML broadcast station. This bobblehead is unique, as it requires players to search for it a little bit. Behind the building and down the cliff, players will see a manhole cover. Players can also turn on the broadcast signal inside the station. The signal will get stronger the closer players get to the manhole.

Players who want to escape the Republic of Dave should stick around the museum for this collectible. The bobblehead can be found on a shelf in the Museum of Dave.

When players get to Arefu, they can find a locked house. This is Evan King's house, which has the repair bobblehead inside. The door requires 50 lockpick skill and does not cause the player to lose karma. Just be careful, forcing the lock might make it to where players cannot get the collectible.
