Praise Atom?
More than two weeks after its launch, Fallout 76 remains a hot topic, primarily because of the contention. In order to ease some of the heat from dissapointed fans, Bethesda has decided to offer some in-game currency.
Fallout 76 issues go beyond the game, according to many people who purchased the $200 Power Armor Edition. Many big spenders were also dissapointed by the bag that came packaged. In the box’s advertisement, the bag appears to be made from a canvas material with longetivity—basically, it’s the kind of product that looks like it would last. Instead, many fans received a nylon bag that appears dastically reduced in quality. For this reason, many fans became upset (or more upset) and reached out to Bethesda.

After a brief non-apology, the company extended a form of compensation to collector’s edition owners. They offered each buyer 500 Atoms within Fallout 76, which is $5 USD worth of in-game currency. Their declaration came via tweet, alongside a link to validate the purchase and claim the humble reward. As VG247 mentioned, there’s an in-game skin wearing the very same bag, and it costs 700 atoms. Just like you can’t own a canvas bag in reality, you can’t own it in a fictional wasteland.
We understand and respect that there is disappointment with the bag in the Power Armor Edition. We are sorry. Please contact Bethesda Support to provide proof of your CE purchase. They will assist in granting your account 500 Atoms.

Fortunately, the official site has listed the bag as nylon. All they have to do now is actually change the picture advertised.
In a related segue, it seems as if Bethesda has extended their compensation to buyers of the standard edition. From the Fallout 76 subreddit we learned that a player received 500 Atoms for purchasing the game ahead of Black Friday. Will this compensation extend to every early bird? Time will tell.
