Is the Breathtaking Snow Globe used in quests or upgrades?

No. There’s no known quest, recipe, or workbench upgrade that consumes the Breathtaking Snow Globe. It’s a high-value sell item and a cosmetic trophy for your room, nothing more.

If you’re holding onto it “just in case,” you don’t need to. When in doubt, keep the items below instead, as they’re actually required later:

Trinket Keep count Used for
Film Reel 1 Movie Night quest
Cat Bed 1 Scrappy IV upgrade
Very Comfortable Pillow 3 Scrappy V upgrade
Faded Photograph 2 Lance’s Tea Party quest
Rubber Duck 2 Lance’s Tea Party quest

Where to find the Breathtaking Snow Globe

The Snow Globe can spawn in three broad loot categories: Residential, Commercial, and Old World. Residential interiors tend to be the most consistent source of trinkets in general, and multi-room buildings provide more containers and surfaces to check. Expect a low spawn rate—this piece sits in the top tier of trinket value alongside Lance’s Mixtape—so multiple runs may be necessary.

Note: Stack size is 1, so duplicates will each occupy their own inventory slot.

Sell or keep: the simplest decision rule

  • Sell it if you want currency now. At 7,000 coins and just 0.2 kg, it’s efficient to carry out and cash in.
  • Keep it only if you care about your shelf. If you’re decorating your Raider’s room or collecting unique trinkets, stash it and enjoy the display.

There’s no mechanical advantage to holding the Snow Globe beyond the cosmetic display. If stash space is tight, it’s better treated as money.


Inventory and stash considerations

  • Weight vs. value: 0.2 kg for 7,000 coins is an excellent conversion. Prioritize it over heavier, lower-value finds when extracting.
  • Non-stacking: Because each Snow Globe takes a slot, don’t hoard duplicates unless you’re building a collection. Sell extras freely.
  • Room display behavior: Trinkets only show up if you’ve extracted with them and kept them; selling removes them from the shelf.

Bottom line: the Breathtaking Snow Globe is cash and décor, not progression. If you need funds for gear or upgrades, sell it without regret. If you’re curating your Raider’s room, keep one on the shelf and treat any duplicates as an easy payout.
