Vault-Tec Bobblehead

The Vault Boy bobblehead figures were promotional Vault-Tec items. After the Great War, they can mostly be found in Vault-Tec Vaults.

In Fallout 3, each of these bobbleheads permanently increases one of the 7 statistics or one of the 13 skills of the Player Character. Two of the Fallout 3 achievements are about collecting 10 or 20 of them.

The bobbleheads which raise SPECIAL scores will not increase a statistic over the normal maximum of 10. If your score in the relevant SPECIAL statistic is already 10, the extra point will be wasted.
