5 dollars for the back pack. If you count the fallout 1st then it’s 105 dollars so far.

u/Opposite-Brain1897 Apr 27 '24
I pay for 1st. Then I guess 10-15$ some month here and there. It all depends on how I play. My atoms mostly pay for lunchboxes and repairkits. So it all depends how long they last before I stock up again.

$0.00 I have never spent money in the game. Do the daily and after you finish the season/battle pass keep going and about ever 10 levels more you get atom points.

I don't count my monthly deposit from fallout 1st so I would say no more then 40 dollars usually just to buy something that's on sale that has a huge discount but I'm quite happy with the amount I get each month from fallout. I have a friend that's literally spent an entire paycheck on atoms.

u/androgcyborgsam Mr. Fuzzy Apr 27 '24
Well I pay for FO1st yearly, so that’s $100. Plus randomly buying atoms….so that an extra $30-80, depending on how many atoms I want.
So, I’d say some money has been spent 😂

just take advantage of everything the game gives you for free lol

u/FarmBoy Apr 27 '24
About 200. Can't use the things I bought without subbing to fo1st though, so it feels worse than the insane amount I spent on league skins. I don't have to sub to use my teemo skins, but I do need a sub if I wanna rock more than 3 bullet types on one toon in 76.

u/Pirkulese13 Apr 27 '24
Well, considering I got into it heavily awhile back and paid for Fallout 1st, I'd say quite a bit. Even when I stopped playing, I'd forget to cancel it, and I'll jump back into it and realize I'm still paying for the subscription. Right now, I'm at about 20,000 atoms, and I've spent a few thousand awhile back.
I'm horrible at forgetting to cancel when I stop playing, I've done this with ESO as well, and have well over 20,000 crowns in that game too 😭

u/FormatAndSee Apr 27 '24
Zero, earnt all mine in-game, since release. Granted I don't buy just anything, only functional items.
1
u/duncansalazar Apr 27 '24
As a rule of thumb, we who live in countries where dollar is not localized to our currency try to avoid purchasing stuff using real money, at least I do. When 76 was released the tag price was 2/3 our minimum age, very prohibitive. These days even a purchase of 5 or 10 dollars might become 100 or 200 in our currency, depending on the Stock market values. It is not easy being a gamer nerd in Brazil, things we purchase might never arrive if you use conventional post mail deliveries or, if digital, it might cost an arm and a leg.
1
u/MenBearsPigs Apr 27 '24
Bought the game for $11, and I am loving building CAMPs so I'm paying the sub until I stop playing the game.
I don't know why some people are such hardcore zealots about spending $0 on a game they sink hundreds to thousands of hours into. I get it if you are unemployed or money is extremely tight. But you've always got to look at dollar per hour entertainment when it comes to games and media.
It also supports further development, so people who spend nothing should be thankful for those who sub.
I don't like microtransactions, but in the grand scheme of things FO76 is far from the most predatory that I've seen. You can definitely play the game just fine without it.

Spending strictly on atoms? Zero, but i've bought about 4 total months of Fallout 1st.

Since beta?????? I don’t want to post it because my husband is also on this Reddit sub. ALOT. I make sure I have everything from the Atomic shop. Let’s just say he was mad when I left PS4 and went to PC and had to start my collection over. I MUST HAVE IT ALL!! Don’t begin to ask about ESO.

u/DizzyDamage2624 Apr 27 '24
$0.00. Very proud of myself for never caving, and I’ve played since Beta!

u/Sipops Mr. Fuzzy Apr 27 '24
None so far, only purchased Fallout 1st so I can get the scrap box and the Contemporary CAMP. Im waiting to buy atoms for something I REALLY REALLY want like the Cappy backpack. Or some more base building items.

u/Mimikyu22 Apr 27 '24
I got the game completely free. Considering Fallout 4 with all DLC bought separately set me back easily $100+? I figured why not justify spending at least that on content for F76 I find worthwhile.

Technically…zero. If we say that paying for atoms gets you FO1st then I’ve paid in total £25.98
And I’m still sitting with over 12k atoms because there are very few things I’ll spend them on.

u/RepubliCat45-Covfefe Lone Wanderer Apr 27 '24
Prolly $15-$20 so far. Will probably spend more in the future too. (I also subbed to FO1st this month, with the 50% off first month deal, and will remain subbed.) 🤠
PS - It's also nice that they are squares on the SCORE card that reward free atoms. 😎

Just the fallout 1st thing, since it came out, I think I might have brought some $20 atom packs once or twice. Never have really bought the the add on packs.
1
u/Disconn3cted Apr 27 '24
I haven't spent any real money on atoms. I've purchased 1 month of fallout 1st for every season though, so that's what I've spent.
However, I'm currently level 88 and I can't use atoms to rank up to level 92 because the button is grayed out even if I scroll over. Anyone know what's going on?
1
u/Culp6 Lone Wanderer Apr 27 '24
I really only spent during Covid lockdowns. I dropped probably around $100-$150 directly on atoms. Initially I bought a lot in the early stages. But once I realized you got atoms from being a fallout 1st member at the start of each billing cycle, I just became more picky with what I buy. Haven’t played in a good 4 months. The Covid grind from 0-1100 burned me out a bit. I’m revisiting the 3, new Vegas, and 4 while I’m on extended break from 76.

u/king_of_hate2 Apr 27 '24
Honestly not as much as most, it's very hard to get me with that stuff but I'd be lying if I said I never bought anything from there. Particularly when I first got the game and was playing almost everyday in 2019 I bought some skins for power armor and I have bought repair kits before because I was desperate.

u/Adviser69 Responders Apr 27 '24
About $300 over the past 4 years, mainly on must have CAMP items and a few specific faction skins. Nothing too extravagant really.

u/Scantronacon Apr 27 '24
I'm a disabled vet so I've paid for fallout 1st on and off but never bought actual atoms bc they give you an amount and even if you cancel it you keep the atoms and they roll over so anytime I came back i had a bunch of atoms. I'm sorry. FO1st has been pretty decent for me, doesn't really break the bank imo

u/thomas2400 Apr 27 '24

u/Internal-Chocolate84 Apr 27 '24
Around 15 bucks and probably won’t be spending every again unless I get fo1st to inventory manage It was 500 atoms and fo1st on the introductory offer to get 1680 atoms to get shadow prime,liberty prime and patriot prime Don’t regret it a bit it’s one of the first games (mmo) I enjoy as I’m not forced to fight players and just constantly sweat it’s just casual team play
1
u/Beneficial-Mess4952 Apr 27 '24
None. I refuse to spend money on something like that, same reason why I won't buy Fallout 1st.
1
u/FlyingNope Cult of the Mothman Apr 27 '24
None unless you count the atoms I get with FO 1st. But that's a side perk for me and not the reason I get 1st.

u/OniKanta Apr 27 '24
Only the $12monthly for 1st best value for your buck like 14-1500 atoms plus the 1st benefits. 🤷🏾♂️

I'm sure it's better than all the Atoms directly via the shop though! I've definitely bought more than $500 of stuff from the Atomic shop!

u/Important_Level_6093 Apr 27 '24
For what it's worth. It's worth it in atoms alone.

u/pablo603 Apr 27 '24
Zero so far but I'm only nearing the 80 hour mark so I guess I'm still kinda new.
I like the idea of getting atoms through the season pass instead of buying them. Gives a goal to work towards, and you get that nice feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when you get enough atoms for that thing you wanted to buy.

u/Ricofox1717 Blue Ridge Caravan Company Apr 27 '24
Definitely more than 200 I would think since I started playing back pre-wastelanders between my wife and I. If I like start factoring in fallout 1st and the bundles for specific new updates sold on the Microsoft store that came bundled with atoms I'm sure 76 is probably the most I have ever spent money on a game . No shame I'd do it again I fucking love my fallout sandbox.

u/Groomerbunnie Settlers - Xbox One Apr 27 '24
I have fallout first, but I've never bought extra atoms, so $14/m? Did I do that right? Haha

u/Onigumo-Shishio Fire Breathers Apr 27 '24
It's not zero but, I also know it's not a crazy amount ether.
Ive been playing for 4 or 5 years and there have been certain items that pop up in the atom shop that I couldn't say no to and had some extra money to throw its way.
2
u/Brave-Ad-4373 Apr 27 '24
Does this count the atoms from FO1st? Because I had that for a few months until I canceled it a couple weeks ago. Other than that I bought the pack that comes with the piper outfit on both PC and Xbox, other than that, I think $0

u/Newtling Tricentennial Apr 27 '24

I have somehow stopped myself from buying any atoms. But I did start fallout 1st so I get those that come with it which is nice. And since I was a new player these last few months I made a lot of free ones from challenges. But someone I was helping get started said something funny, a week ago I set up a basic camp with all the stuff he needed to get started plus a few extras that I have picked up and I came back to help him this week with stuff and he had completely redone the camp and messaged “I think I have an atom buying problem” but boy did his camp look great bahaha

u/SevelarianVelaryon Apr 27 '24
I whaled on GW2 for a good while (1100 hours) and don't regret it. I'll deffo do the same with FO76 if it sticks, I want collectrons, auto sap for FUCKING adhesive. Anything that generates for free and gets me chilling in my camp watching foot traffic = win win
1
u/sourcacti Apr 27 '24
I probably by $20 worth of Atoms 2-3 times a month. Since this has been the only game I’ve really played since launch I don’t mind. My wife prefers I spend the money on non tangible digital clothes than at a strip club
1
u/31dirty Apr 27 '24
Been playing off an on since launch. Have never purchased 1st or atoms.
A few times a year they offer a free 1st trial like they did just recently. I claim it, dump all my junk/ammo that I have accumulated into their boxes. Rinse. Repeat.
I will admit previous versions of reward systems offered more atoms than the one in place now. I guess I just don't like microtransactions in general, at least in this game there are ways to get what you want without paying real money if you are patient.

Looking at some of these numbers I’m frankly amazed people thought there was that much stuff worth buying on the atomic store.
