Are there microtransactions in the game?

The Atomic Shop offers a lot of new costumes and skins.

The answer is short - yes, Fallout 76 does feature microtransactions. However, these are only visual add-ons and a player spending real money does not become better than other players. In the main menu you will find the Atomic Store, where you can buy stuff for Atoms (which, in turn, can be bought for real money or acquired in the game). Attractions available in the store are divided into the following categories:

1. Apparel - here you can buy new outfits or headgear. They don't offer any stat bonuses for characters - it's just for that unique look.
2. Skins - here you can buy a new look for your Pip-Boya or Power Armor.
3. C.A.M.P. - another category allows you to buy new objects for the base construction mode. The offer includes better looking doors or generators. However, as in the case of clothing, the objects offer only a new appearance and work in the same way as the objects available to everyone.
4. Styles - here you will find new facial paintings and tattoos that you can place on your character.
5. Photomode - this section contains new positions and frames for use in the photomode.
6. Emotes - here you can buy new gestures to communicate with players.
7. Icons - the last category contains new images that can be placed next to your character's name.

Atoms can also be acquired by playing.

It is worth knowing that Atoms can be acquired completely free of charge by performing various activities in the game world. In order to do this you should take an interest in the following activities:

1. Daily missions - tasks randomized every 24 hours. They consist, for example, of gaining a new level or collecting 50 pieces of wood.
2. Weekly missions - tasks randomized every 7 days. These are more complicated tasks consisting of, for example, taking over a specific workshop or completing 10 tasks with other players.
3. Challenges - these are single missions spanning across all elements of the game. For example - join a party or repair 76 weapons. Each challenge can only be completed once.

Completion of a single mission or challenge provides between 10 to 40 Atoms. A list of currently available missions and a list of all challenges can be found in the main menu of the game in the "Challenges" tab.
