Fallout 76's Atomic Shop is a central hub for players to customize their characters and environments with various cosmetic items, including apparel, skins, and decorations. While the shop offers a rotating selection of items, players often miss out on specific items due to their limited availability. This article guides you through accessing the Atomic Shop and requesting items that are no longer available in the shop.
Accessing the Atomic Shop
Initial Access: The Atomic Shop can be accessed from the Main Menu as soon as you create a new character and exit Vault 76.
Atoms: To purchase items, you need Atoms, which can be earned through Season progression or bought directly from the shop or your platform's website.
Requesting Items Not Currently Available
If you miss an item or want something that is no longer in the shop, Bethesda provides a support system to request these items:
Bethesda Support Portal:
Visit the Bethesda Support website and log in to your Bethesda account.
Select "Fallout 76" and then "Billing/Purchase/Code" as the category.
Choose your platform (e.g., Steam, PlayStation, Xbox).
Click on "I need help with the Atomic Shop" and confirm that you are inquiring about obtaining an item.
Requesting Items:
You can choose to either gift an item to a friend or purchase it for yourself.
Enter your Gamertag, PSN, or Steam name as required.
Select the item(s) you want from the available options. If an item is not listed, you may need to wait for it to be added or contact support directly.
Confirmation and Purchase:
Bethesda Customer Support will contact you via email to confirm the details and inform you about the cost in Atoms.
Ensure you have enough Atoms to cover the cost of the item(s).
Gifting Atomic Shop Items
Bethesda also allows gifting of Atomic Shop items to other players under certain conditions:
Gifting Process: Submit a ticket to Bethesda Customer Support under the "I need help with the Atomic Shop" category.
Eligibility: Not all items are eligible for gifting, such as Fallout 1st, Nuclear Winter, and Seasons items.
Although Fallout 76's Atomic Shop primarily uses Atoms as currency, some players might wish they could use Fallout 76 caps to purchase these items, as caps are more integrated into the game's economy. However, the use of caps is reserved for in-game transactions with NPCs and traders, leaving Atoms as the exclusive currency for all Atomic Shop purchases. While caps can be valuable for acquiring essential equipment and supplies in the game world, players must rely on Atoms to customize their characters and environments through the Atomic Shop.
The Atomic Shop in Fallout 76 offers a wide range of customization options, but its rotating inventory can sometimes leave players missing out on desired items. By using Bethesda's support system, players can request items that are no longer available in the shop, ensuring they can still access their preferred cosmetics and decorations. Whether you're looking to enhance your character's appearance or decorate your C.A.M.P., the Atomic Shop and Bethesda's support options provide flexibility and choice for all players.
