What to spend my atoms on wisely?

[Fatal AR]

Hello everyone, i'm kinda new to the game. Been playing one less than a week and i made 2000 atoms playing, i've looked up quickly two days ago and bought the mirelurk steamer because everyone was recommending it due to the free food and the buffs it gives.
Now i'm 1500 but i'm sure i will still getting some atoms.
I'm aware about the list of stuff from previous seasons and so that you can request to buy through the support as long as you have the atoms,
Recommend me must-have stuff i should have even if I have to resort to support to obtain.

Also i have plan: balloon arch if anyone is interested lol, someone told me it was rare so i thought it might be worth something for someone else.

If you need it, buy it.

If you really, really want it, buy it

Everything else give a pass.

I have atoms n the five figures, but rarely spend it. Just pick up stuff you really want, and you'll have no regrets.

in general, anything that gives you stuff for free at the camp, like the collectron, tea/coffee machines if you can get em (dont remember if they were seasonal or from shop), otherwise just cosmetics you like

[BizarreMan]

Dbond1 is right. You do what you feel right. Just know that if you spend them all, something will immediately come up that you need.

Re-roller and SCORE booster. There also a few items in CAMP that actually help. Otherwise it's all junk.

And never ever pay real money for ATOMS!

I really really want a lot of things, that's why i'm asking what comes first. Skins are cool but they are optional.
I also want that power armor display from the taggerdy thunder bundle.
I want things that make the tedious easier for me.
Before I had the steamer, I had to cook the meat from what I killed in my camp.
Now I simply have to take it out of the steamer and continue my journey.

OK, fair enough, in which case my reply fails to help you narrow it down. I can't really relate as there have been just a handful of things I really, really want.

If it helps you in some way, like a cookie jar or collectron it should have priority

If it makes you look cooler it is next in line

If it does neither of these things, skip it.

Personally, I would only spend my atoms on prefabs (prebuilt houses/buildings)

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Bitcoins- A Large Batch of Bitcoins. If you don't have enough ATOMS for that, then buy Bubblegum-everyone Loves Bubblegum.

Like a few people said in the thread : camp items that collect stuff for you are gold tier.

The rest are mostly cosmetics for weapons/outfits which is more in your personal field of view, you want a mechanic outfit to roleplay as one or maybe roleplay as a raider/settler or a fancy suit dude? Buy it. Also be aware that some special items that collect stuff for you can sometimes only be bought from a bundle which costs more, so be careful to not get robbed.

Remember that you also get free atoms from doing dailies/weeklies in your scoreboard. So be sure to collect them for when you spy something you like.

Hope this helps and good luck thread maker.

agree with free stuff, also f1st scrap stash can also have its items retrieved but no longer added to after f1st is running out

[donwag43]

Atom shop : Utility - Carrie weight booster, Repair kits, re rollers, score booster, Only when needed though, Perfect bubble gum. All stuff a guy can use :)

[Hefutoxin]

Personally, I prefer the Raider Collectron for booze and chems.

[Dezktop]

hide them on yourself for many years.

Buy as many shelter blueprints as you can.
