Atom

Atoms are a microtransaction currency in Fallout 76.

Overview
Atoms are a microtransaction currency used to purchase cosmetics from the Atomic shop. Any purchases from the store will work across all characters created by the player. All cosmetics can be found and acquired throughout Appalachia without having to purchase them in the Atomic store, but may be in high level areas not easily accessible to newer characters. Weapons, ammo, and chems cannot be purchased with atoms.

Obtaining atoms
There are two basic sources of atoms:
 * Complete challenges.
 * Purchase them from the Atomic store.
