https://wccftech.com/fallout-76-microtransactions-atoms/ > Fallout 76 is bringing a lot of new things to the venerable RPG series, including multiplayer, more versatile vase building, and, yes, microtransactions. Until now, Bethesda has been somewhat evasive about how Fallout 76’s microtransactions will work, but in a recent interview with Xbox’s Major Nelson, Pete Hines provided a few more details. Fallout 76’s virtual currency will be known as “Atoms,” and according to Hines, there will be ample opportunity to earn them in-game… > “Atoms are a thing that we hand out as you play the game, quite honestly, we throw them at you all the time. You get them as little rewards for leaving the vault, or the first time you kill a creature, or the first time you pick fruits and vegetables from somewhere — it’s a little challenge reward. Atoms are used in our shop to buy cosmetic things, so new outfits or skins or things like that.”
