Items
Magazines
Magazines are pre-war periodicals that grant a passive buff when read. There are 96 issues across 11 series in Fallout 76. Unlike Bobbleheads and Holotape Games, magazine buffs are passive and do not expire.
Magazines spawn throughout Appalachia and are tradable — they can be found at player vendor stalls across the map.
