What Happens After You Cancel Fallout 1st?
Canceling Fallout 1st doesn’t immediately erase everything you gained. Here’s what to expect:
- Scrapbox: All the scrap/junk in your Scrapbox stays. It does not count towards your Stash weight. You can access and remove items, but you can’t add new items.
- Ammo Storage Box: Similar to the Scrapbox, you retain access to the Ammo Storage Box. You can withdraw ammo, but you cannot deposit any new ammunition.
- Ranger Armor and Other Atomic Shop Items: Any Ranger Armor Set, icons, emotes, camp items, or apparel claimed from the Atomic Shop while your membership was active remain yours.
- Private World Access: You lose access to your Private Adventure and Custom Worlds. These worlds shut down if a Fallout 1st member isn’t present. However, you can still join another player’s Private Adventure or Custom World even without a membership.
- Survival Tent: The Survival Tent disappears. You can no longer place it, but any items you had stored inside Stash boxes placed within the tent remain accessible through other Stash boxes in the game world.
- Atoms: You won’t receive any further monthly Atoms after your subscription expires. Make sure to spend any accumulated Atoms before the end of your subscription period.
Fallout 1st: Is It Worth It?
Whether Fallout 1st is “worth it” depends entirely on your play style and how much you value the included benefits.
- Benefits: Fallout 1st grants access to Private Worlds, exclusive utility and cosmetic items, 1650 Atoms per month, and other bonuses.
- High-Value Players: If you play Fallout 76 regularly, the unlimited storage for junk and ammo, along with the portable Survival Tent, can be incredibly valuable. This allows for more efficient resource gathering and management.
- Casual Players: If you only play occasionally, the cost might not justify the benefits, particularly if you don’t heavily rely on resource hoarding.
