Bethesda took one look at Diablo 4’s microtransactions and said, “hold my beer”—introducing the $1999 Fallout 76 bundle

by

As a seasoned gamer and a long-time fan of Bethesda’s Fallout series, I must say that this General Personal Bundle is nothing short of a masterstroke. The value it offers for the price tag, even if it turns out to be a temporary glitch or misprice, is simply unparalleled.

Before Black Friday even arrives, Bethesda has already offered the best deal of the year for Xbox Game Pass members. The General Personal Bundle is now down to $1799 – that’s a massive $200 discount!

By buying this package, you’re essentially expressing to Bethesda that you appreciate their creative direction and are eager to support it. Furthermore, this might be the most direct way for you to contribute towards the development of future expansions. For a price of $1999 (or $1799 if you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber), you receive:

  • 1000 Atoms (+500 Bonus Atoms): These are the in-game currency used to buy various cosmetics, Power Armor skins, and C.A.M.P. sets from the Atomic Shop. In Fallout 76, they go a long way in personalizing your post-apocalyptic experience.
  • Revolutionary General’s Uniform: Dress the part of a true wasteland warrior. If you’ve ever wanted to look like a Revolutionary War general while exploring West Virginia’s radiated wilderness, this one’s for you.
  • 3 Repair Kits: Repair your gear on the go—no need to run back to a workbench when you’re in the middle of the heat. Convenience at its finest.
  • 3 Scrap Kits: Automatically collect all nearby junk and send it to your stash without having to trek across the wasteland. This is especially handy for all you hardcore C.A.M.P. builders out there.
  • Bragging rights: Let’s face it—if you walk into the wasteland wearing that Revolutionary General’s Uniform, your fellow Vault Dwellers will know you were bold enough to spend $1799 on a cosmetic. It’s the ultimate flex!

It’s important to note that this is not a genuine mistake on the Xbox store; it’s simply a joke. The value of the bundle appears to be around $9.99 based on my online research. Some enthusiasts have humorously suggested that if they included ‘Maxon’s Battle Coat’ (the Fallout 4 Brotherhood of Steel leader) in the package, it could justify the price tag.
