Survival aside, the world isn’t void of joy and excitement. You can dress up or purchase a wide variety of cosmetic items by spending in some Atom. Keep your spirits high and try to bring the world back to what it once was. We have discussed ways of earning Atom mainly through Fallout 76 Challenges so you can hold onto everything that the world once stood on.
Fallout 76 Challenges
Thanks to both Daily Challenges that reset every 24 hours and weekly ones that reset over 7 days, completing challenges seem to be a consistent method of acquiring the in-game currency, Atom.
Furthermore, there are other challenges too which are tied to your character’s progression and generally how you interact with the world around you.
All of these tasks upon completion will let you cash in on a bunch of cosmetic items at the “Atomic” store.
As the game has thousands of challenges and with its MMO-esque nature more are continuously added, we won’t be able to list them all here but these should give you an idea of what type of challenges Fallout 76 offers.
