InFallout 76, the Atom is a unique currency that has two specific purposes: Purchasing Atomic Shop items and skipping the S.C.O.R.E rank-up process. This makes it a highly useful resource for many players.
Typically, players earn Atoms by progressing the main quests and ranking up or by doing specific side quests. But there are more ways to farm this scarce currency in the latest Season ofFallout 76. With this guide, new and veteran players learn how to exploit the system to get extra Atoms as quickly as possible.

The Best Way to Farm Atoms
Now that Daily and Weekly Atom Challenges are gone, the only way to farm Atoms is by creating a new account, completing the Lifetime Challenges, and gifting Atoms to the main account character. Here’s how it works.
There is no limit on how many accounts a player can create to farm the Lifetime Challenges’ Atoms. But note that this is a time-consuming technique. Onlyhigh-levelFallout 76playerscan benefit from this farming method because they can gift their junks to the new account, helping it complete the Challenges faster.
This Atom farming method is not a glitch and does not go against Bethesda’s terms and conditions forFallout 76.
The Conventional Method for Farming Atoms
For beginnerFallout 76players, the best way to farm Atoms is throughLifetime Challenges.These side quests grant up to 100 Atoms and are often quite easy to complete. The only downside is that they cannot be repeated; the max Atoms a player can earn with these Challenges is 3,000.
To see anyincomplete side quests, head to the Main Menu and select “Challenges.” Atom Challenges are listed under the Character, Survival, Combat, Social, and World sections.
Other Ways to Get Atoms
Like all previous Seasons,Fallout 76players can get Atoms through microtransactions and Scoreboard. In the former method, players pay real money to get extra Atoms ($4.99 per 500 Atoms). With the latter technique, players collect S.C.O.R.E. points and rank up in Seasons to earn up to 500 Atoms.
Fallout 76is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
