Grognak the Barbarian is a perk magazine in Fallout 76.

Background
Grognak the Barbarian is a fantasy comic book published by Hubris Comics prior to the Great War. The series follows the story of the titular Grognak, and the cover art for each comic book depicts imagery of Grognak on the eponymous adventure. Issues of Grognak the Barbarian cost $23 per copy.

Characteristics
Reading an issue of Grognak the Barbarian will temporarily give the player a unique bonus, such as increased melee damage or increased carry weight. All bonuses expire after 30 minutes (60 minutes with Curator), and the magazine is consumed once read.

Issues of Grognak the Barbarian are affected by Pannapictagraphist and will emit directional audio when the player is in range.

Locations

 * The magazines are randomly found throughout Appalachia, including a selection of potential spawn points.

Behind the scenes
The issue entitled "Cometh the Trickster" is a reference to Thief: The Dark Project, a stealth game in which the primary antagonist was named the Trickster, with a very similar physical appearance. The pictured scene mimics the cutscene in which the Trickster first reveals his true nature. The issue is notably found in a recreation of Lead Designer Emil Pagliarulo's childhood bedroom. Before being hired by Bethesda, Pagliarulo was a level designer on Thiefs Gold edition, as well as its sequel, designing some of Thief IIs most popular missions.
