Fallout 4 Guide: All 20 Bobblehead Stats And Locations

It's a hard knock life out there in the Commonwealth, but a handy boost from a Bobblehead can make the medicine go down. In the greater Boston area of Fallout 4 there are a total of 20 Bobbleheads you can get, some in the path of quest line, others in obscure locations.

In the following guide you will find stats and the description of the location for each Bobblehead, as well as a local map of the area where it can be found, and a picture of what it looks like in that location. Since some of these Bobbleheads are Skill related, and Skills no longer exist in Fallout 4, you'll find that some of these provide boosts you might not have expected, so be sure to read the description. Happy hunting!
