Don’t Fall For This Fallout 76 Atomic Store Rip-off Like I Did

As somebody who just lately returned to Fallout 76 after six years away, I can confidently say that I’ve been having a good time with the multiplayer title. Positive, there are annoying points like constant crashing on the PlayStation model, and the same old Bethesda RPG jankiness, however they haven’t been sufficient to remove from the enjoyable of the sport. I’ve had a blast exploring the world whereas rocking out to Appalachia radio, I’ve had some superior interactions with the neighborhood, and I’ve been enthusiastic about how I can create the CAMP of my desires with each piece of junk I acquire. With such a positive Fallout 76 experience, I needed to spend a bit of cash within the Atomic Store to indicate some assist for the sport, however sadly, one in every of my purchases — the House Swimsuit apparel — appears like an enormous mistake. Sadly, I’m not alone on this feeling, as different gamers have fallen sufferer to this incomplete package deal.

What’s Incorrect With Fallout 76’s Atomic Store House Swimsuit?

The massive problem with Fallout 76’s House Swimsuit is straightforward: it’s lacking the helmet, the good a part of the ensemble. Once I bought this pack, I assumed that I wouldn’t simply be getting the orange, patch-covered bodysuit. Nonetheless, once I moseyed on over to an Armor workbench, I used to be confused to seek out that I solely had the plan for the swimsuit itself. Irrespective of how onerous I seemed by way of my headwear and helmet schematics, the opposite a part of the outfit I anticipated to have entry to was nowhere to be discovered. This left me confused till I searched on-line and located a number of Reddit threads the place individuals talked about having the very same problem. For no matter purpose, be it one other Fallout 76 Atomic Store bug (the Previous Glory Fire can also be having points) or a slip-up by whoever added the merchandise, it seems that there’s no helmet included within the 400-Atomic pack.

If this had been a case of myself and different Vault Dwellers not studying the contents of the Atomic Store package deal, I wouldn’t be so upset. Nonetheless, with this particular bundle, there is no such thing as a point out that the helmet isn’t included. The outline merely says “shoot for the celebs and survive,” whereas each single image — together with the thumbnail for the House Swimsuit — includes a character with the House Swimsuit and helmet outfitted. With two massive pictures and a smaller thumbnail all suggesting that I’d get the helmet once I purchase the House Swimsuit, I couldn’t assist however really feel scammed after making this buy. Regardless of all of the crashes, buying and selling glitches, and instances my character has gotten caught within the atmosphere, this deceptive beauty pack is the primary time I’ve really been disenchanted since coming back to Fallout 76.

Already Purchased Fallout 76’s House Swimsuit? You’ve Bought Two Choices

Whereas this text will hopefully attain gamers earlier than they buy the House Swimsuit, for individuals who already made the error of shopping for this merchandise, there are a number of choices accessible. The primary is to contact Bethesda assist for a refund, which is pretty easy and often sees gamers getting their Atoms again in a short time. For gamers who don’t wish to surrender on this costume, although, there may be an alternative choice accessible: discovering a House Swimsuit helmet within the open-world. Positive, it appears to be like barely totally different and isn’t a precise match for what the Atomic Store had promised (the premium model has a bigger visor), but it surely’s a technique to salvage the outfit if gamers don’t really feel like pursuing a refund.

House Swimsuit helmets may be discovered within the following Fallout 76 locations:

• Sons of Dane Compound
• The highest flooring of the Valley Galeria, resting on a Quantum bear that’s driving a rocket
• Lockers within the Crater’s communications space
• On the weapon workbench roof north of the Morgantown Responders Outpost
• Two House Swimsuit helmets have an opportunity of spawning on the Whitespring Resort, close to the firepit.
• On a shelf within the retailer subsequent to Charleston magnificence salon.
• Subsequent to a terminal on the Berkley Springs pharmacy.

What’s significantly irritating about this complete Atomic Shop fiasco is that, when the House Swimsuit first appeared within the Atomic Store over half a decade in the past, it seemingly got here with the helmet. This may increasingly add weight to the speculation that the merchandise is bugged, so maybe a repair will occur quickly. On the identical time, the outdated bundle worth was 800, suggesting that the House Swimsuit is certainly meant to be by itself and the confusion comes purely from the photographs used. If that is so, then perhaps the House Swimsuit helmet will come to the store as a separate buy quickly.

Regardless, it’s very irritating that I can’t match my fiancée and her Nuka Cola Lady House Swimsuit (sure, this one actually does have the helmet) in the intervening time. Subsequent time I play, I’ll should take a break from clearing out the Ash Heap to go discover one of many helmets within the above areas, although I don’t assume I’ll have the ability to unsee that it isn’t an ideal match for my outfit. Going ahead, I’ll positively be a bit extra cautious about shopping for from the Atomic Store, solely buying the bundles the place all of the contents are detailed, and I’m absolutely assured that I’ll get precisely what’s been marketed.
