Locations[]

Notes[]

  • The Grognak the Barbarian comic books in Fallout 76 share identical titles and cover art from Fallout 4; however the bonuses they provide are different in addition to the effect duration being temporary.
  • Most of the issue numbers are torn off the magazines. However, The Art of Fallout 4 has clean versions of the issues where the numbers, if they have them, can be read.
  • Issue #09 "In the Lair of the Virgin Eater" is the same comic book that is on the cover of all Grognak the Barbarian comics in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

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.
