Fallout New Vegas: Every Snow Globe And Where To Find Them (2024)

While traveling through the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas, players might come across snow globes. There are a total of 7 in the base game and 4 added in DLCs. In the base game, the snow globes can be found in prominent locations, such as The Strip or Hoover Dam. Each snow globe can be returned to Mr. House and sold for 2000 caps each. They can then be found in the player's penthouse room on display. The snow globes do not add any stats for the player but do take the place of Bobbleheads in other games.

The collectibles are a fun little addition to the game, giving players another excuse to explore the Mojave and uncover all these snow globes during their travels. Of course, most players won't need this incentive to explore a game that many people consider to be the greatest Fallout game ever made, which is hefty praise indeed.

Updated on May 18, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: Snow globes are special collectibles players can find scattered across the Mojave in Fallout: New Vegas. These collectibles are pretty fun to find and provide players with a monetary reward once they reach New Vegas and are on the verge of interacting with Mr. House. These globes pay 2,000 caps apiece, which is pretty useful for players who have yet to become bottlecap hoarders in a game where becoming rich is as easy as they come after a point. Players who want to find all the snow globes in the game wouldn't mind a guide that helps them pinpoint the locations of these collectibles.
