Dr. Manse Bobblehead

The Dr. Manse Bobblehead is a collectible item representing a highly accurate likeness of the former Research Director of the GATE Cascade Research Facility. It appears in the game world as a small statuette or figurine whose sculpt and pose intentionally evoke that specific figure; in-game descriptions across languages consistently note the striking resemblance to the facility's erstwhile research head.

The bobblehead is located in Manufacturing West, inside a small room situated above The Blacksmith's position. Access to the room is gated behind an electronic door that requires a Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN (Tier 2) to unlock. Players must therefore obtain a Tier 2 Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN before they can enter the space and claim the Dr. Manse Bobblehead.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Location specifics: the collectible sits in a small, enclosed room directly above The Blacksmith in Manufacturing West. The room is not immediately accessible without the appropriate Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN credential.
• Access requirement: a Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN (Tier 2) is mandatory to open the door protecting the room. Ensure you have that tier of Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN before attempting to reach the bobblehead.
• Visual identification: the item is visually notable for its close resemblance to the GATE Cascade Research Facility's former research director; descriptions emphasize likeness rather than functionality.
• Retrieval considerations: because the item is placed in a confined, locked chamber, prepare any inventory or movement constraints beforehand so you can pick it up without needing to backtrack immediately after unlocking the door.

This entry compiles consistent details from multiple localized descriptions that all identify the object as a faithful representation of the former director and place it in the same locked room above The Blacksmith in Manufacturing West. The only explicit gameplay requirement provided by source material is the need for a Keypad ACH_HACKERMAN (Tier 2) to unlock the door and access the bobblehead.
