That means that if you've been saving up your Atoms, the premium currency used to purchase items, either by completing daily and weekly challenges or by slowly accruing them through your monthly $13 Fallout 1st subscription, you'll still have to shell out an extra $30 just to get this fancy-looking skin. All of Fallout 76 's seasonal updates are free, but that's not making it any easier to swallow for some fans.
But if a reluctance to add yet another subscription to your streaming rotation means you haven't watched Amazon's surprisingly excellent adaptation yet, you might be interested to know that the company is currently releasing season one for free on the Prime Video YouTube channel.
To help make that happen, the game's developers will soon release an expansion fully capitalizing on that TV series for the first time, and I got to spend a few hours playing that update to see if it's any fun. The important work is a lot less flashy: combat overhauls, bug fixes, balance updates, quality-of-life improvements, and technological tweaks-all of which have been added to the game over time. Ultimately, that little stuff adds up to be more impactful than the big stuff for players.
