Exploring the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout New Vegas offers players numerous rewards, but few collectibles are as lucrative as snow globes. Scattered across prominent regional milestones, these rare items yield significant caps when turned in to Mr. House's assistant. Tracking down each display piece enhances your overall wealth while encouraging deep exploration of key landmarks.
Base Game Snow Globe Locations Around the Mojave
The journey to collect base game snow globes starts early near Goodsprings Cemetery on a grave marker near the water tower. Moving toward the New Vegas Strip, another globe sits on a shelf inside the observation tower at Old Mormon Fort. Additional globes wait at Jacobstown Lodge on the reception desk and inside the Boomer Museum at Nellis Air Force Base.
Urban locations contain the remaining base collectibles scattered throughout central hubs. Players can locate one behind a cash register in the Lucky 38 Cocktail Lounge after meeting Mr. House. The final two urban globes rest on a desk at the Hoover Dam Visitor Center and inside Sarah's locked room in Vault 21.
Finding Collectibles in Expansion Content DLCs
Expansion add-ons introduce extra collectible globes that expand the total set beyond the Mojave Desert. Sierra Madre features a globe resting on slanted rooftops in Salida del Sol North. Exploring Zion National Park leads to a globe inside the General Store on a lower shelf.
In the Big MT expansion, players can find a globe inside the X-17 Meteorological Station overlooking miniature model houses. The final expansion globe resides in the Lonesome Road region, giving dedicated collectors a complete set. Gathering all expansion globes provides maximum completion rewards for thorough players.
Rewards and Cashing In Your Collection
Turning in snow globes delivers substantial financial gains that help fund endgame weapons and implants. Jane at the Lucky 38 Casino pays 2,000 caps for each base game globe you deliver. Collecting every available globe ensures your character maintains financial stability throughout the entire campaign.
Tips for Finding Hard to Reach Globes
Certain globes require specific access requirements or lockpicking skills before they can be retrieved. Raising your lockpick skill makes entering locked quarters like Vault 21 far easier. Careful observation of indoor shelving and front desks prevents missing these small items during main quests.
