The discussion about the Atomic Shop is likely to be underway now. In addition to the prices, data leaks are also currently a topic of discussion.
These leaks refer to lunch boxes that can provide buffs to players. Players are therefore concerned about pay-to-win in Fallout 76.
The Atomic Shop of Fallout 76 has received some new offers since its release. However, the pricing policy from developer Bethesda is increasingly causing frustration among fans.
The cash or also Atomic Shop of Fallout 76 is currently causing dissatisfaction among some players. They disagree with the prices being charged.
This is how microtransactions work in Fallout 76: You can purchase a currency called Atoms for real money, or earn them in-game through certain actions. With the Atoms, you can then get special outfits, skins, and other goodies in a premium shop.
Prices of the Atomic Shop of Fallout 76 – too high?
20 euros for outfit packs. 14 euros for a shield. 7 euros for a crate skin. Not all fans find the prices of the Atomic Shop appropriate. Just a month ago, things looked different, when players reacted to the cash shop.
Offers have sparked the criticism: Special Christmas offers have further fueled the frustration. These are limited packages that are available until December 31.
The first package contains
- outfits for Santas (including beard) and Santarinas,
- a stuffed RAD-deer for the camp
- player icons (Santa + Santarina)
Currently, the offer is reduced to 2000 atoms. This corresponds to 20 euros. Normally, it apparently costs 3000 atoms, or 30 euros.
The second package actually costs 2400 atoms (24 euros) and is currently reduced to 1200 atoms (12 euros). The package contains 12 gestures related to Christmas. This offer is also limited until December 31.
Players feel that the prices are too high
This is how the community responds: Frustration is growing among fans. Some, like lucky5101 even suspect that the prices have been rising since the release of Fallout 76.
For him, it’s simply too much to shell out 20 euros for a few outfits and a decoration piece. Skins should, in his opinion, cost a maximum of 4 to 5 euros. Prices for camp items and gestures should be a maximum of 3 euros.
Having to spend 18-20$ on a single cosmetic item is absurd. I honestly hope that no one buys it and they adjust the prices afterwards.
Other players, on the other hand, find the frustration unnecessary. After all, the prices are optional; those who buy are to blame themselves. However, most reactions agree with lucky5101 and accuse Bethesda of pretending to have sales to entice players to purchase.
That a package now costs partially as much as half of the entire game is just another reason for fans’ frustration. Almost a month after the release, full-price buyers would already be at a disadvantage, and now such a large amount is being demanded for cosmetic items.
Whiskeytigger writes: “It’s not the time for them to make money in any form. At the moment they have done enough with the product they released.” In the user’s opinion, the Christmas time would have actually been ideal for Bethesda to give away such items and create a festive atmosphere.
