Fallout 76 Atoms challenges: how to earn premium currency for free

As is the case with seemingly all major game releases now - especially multiplayer ones - Fallout 76 has microtransactions. It’s a disappointing sinkhole the industry is falling further into every day, but thankfully in Fallout 76, they’re not too predatory. The currency is called Atoms and you can spend them at the Atomic Shop, accessible via the main menu. When you access the Atomic Shop, you’ll be greeted by a number of categories, each containing different items you can buy with your Atoms. The appeal is that everything you can buy in the Atomic Shop is attainable through normal play and thankfully they’re all cosmetic. You can purchase everything from new emotes and paint schemes for your Pip-Boy, to decorations for your C.A.M.P. and even new outfits like a set of striped pyjamas. You can purchase Atoms with real money, although that isn’t possible during the beta so we can’t confirm the prices yet. Gamestop Ireland revealed earlier this week that they’ll cost five Euros for 500 Atoms though, meaning one Atom is equal to approximately one cent. As for the price in Pounds Sterling, five euros is £4.36. Expect Bethesda to either round down to £3.99 or up to £4.49 when the full game launches.
