Fallout 76 repair kits cost Atoms, breaking Bethesda’s cosmetics-only promise
http://0rz.tw/M6R2L
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve checked in on Bethesda’s FALLOUT 76 but,
like many of the past updates, this is sure to not sit well with its base.
Bethesda is adding REPAIR KITS to the game, and they can be purchased with
Atoms through the REAL-WORLD MONEY SHOP. These Fallout 76 repair kits appear
to go directly against Bethesda’s pre-release promises for the game.
Bethesda released a new blog post about updates coming to Fallout 76 in the
future today. The new content will come after the April 9 patch, but exact
dates were not given. Chief among the Fallout 76 additions are new repair
kits. Fallout 76, like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, has equipment conditions that
require players to upkeep their gear.
Currently, players have to spend time at workbenches fixing gear, but the new
Fallout 76 repair kits will change that. Items will be able to be repaired at
any time using the kits. There are basic and improved kits, the first
repairing an item to 100% and the second buffing to 150%. Basic repair kits
will be purchasable with Atoms in the Atomic Shop, while improved repair kits
will be rewards from certain in-game objectives.
The ability to buy basic repair kits in the Atomic Shop has ruffled some
feathers in the Fallout 76 community. A post on the game’s subreddit has
received over 2,000 upvotes since being posted earlier today. Prior to
Fallout 76‘s release Bethesda published information regarding the Atomic
Shop and said that it “doesn’t offer anything with a competitive advantage,
and more so, it aims to bring joy not just to you, but the other dwellers
around you.”
Adding a purchasable repair kit could be the beginning of Bethesda adding
more non-cosmetic items to the Atomic Shop, and a lot of fans are calling the
company out over it. To be clear, the repair kits aren’t a terrible idea and
Atoms can be earned through in-game events. But Bethesda is going against its
own word, and the game’s community is worried about what happens in the
future.
The company does seem aware that it’s a change it wants feedback on, but it
looks like much of the community would rather the Atomic Shop stay
cosmetic-only.

簡單來說，Bethesda以前承諾過Fallout 76只會出裝飾用道具 (cosmetic)。
但官方公佈下次更新後會出課金維修包 (repair kit)。
本來遊戲中要維修道具需要在製作台上才能進行，但這些維修包可以隨時維修，同時還能
把耐久度修到150%。
這當然引起玩家的反彈......
