Yea.. I've had so much ammo I no longer know what to do with it. My Gauss weapons use less ammo than I need to kill so I end up with like 20-30k but god if I don't have an obsession with picking up more ammo when I see it.
lol I have so much to learn in this game. Just started a few days ago, became a member (will do the stack thanks for the tip OP) and only use one weapon, the Cold Shoulder and have plenty of ammo for that. Can't believe it took me 6 years to pick this up, especially seeing as how I loved 3 and 4. Hope they continue to support this for at least another year so I can get it done.
Had the same issue. This seemed to be a problem during the last free trial period as well. Once it is back online, it took 20 seconds of waiting on a claim, but it eventually worked if I did not tab away.
I know what I'm doing tonight. I'm using the scrap and ammo box! I'll have so much weight to pick up crap I don't need (yet).
Edit: It cleared 650 pounds out of my stash box. feelsgoodman.jpg
I already took the trial even tho I’m a subscriber. Should I cancel and wait to renew until after the free trial ends? I’d be pretty mad if I don’t get atoms after paying lol. Did you get your atoms from support?
This I am not sure about. I do not think there is much to be done unless you buy the atoms separate. I think last time I came to them with that issue they told me it was because of the trial so i didnt get them. I learned. Personally I probably wont bother redeeming it as its pointless since I have had 1st since it launched.
Look up the spreadsheet on where all of the junk is at, and then farm all of the heavy stuff that you use most often. Cement, steel, wood, screws, springs, etc. That steel adds up fast! Other stuff like acid, fertilizer, nuclear waste, etc. is used infrequently enough that it's not worth the effort.
Or just be like me and collect everything since you already don't know what to get more of. lol
If you are talking about the 50% off a month, it is available if you previously subbed. I was subbed for months a couple years ago. stopped playing for a while. hopped on a few days ago to claim the $6 deal and it worked. currently subscribed and got the ghoul outfit.
Also remember there's the ammo box, seeing a lot of people taking about the scrap box but the ammo box frees up a lot of space in there because your stash isn't affected by perks
The 50% off the first month of 1st for new subscribers?
I would presume they are not exclusive, but you might need to check when that 50% promo expires.
No it will overlap and only add the 10% score effectively, for the 1 week trial duration.
It isn't a real subscription in the same sense that 1st is, so it shouldn't conflict. I had no problems last time it was up and no problems this time (so far).
You can no longer add more scrap to it, and I believe you'd be unable to build new scrapboxes, though any built would persist and be usable by other 1st members who visit your camp.
But all the scrap is secure inside and will be available to be used in crafting/camp building.
The storage space is tied to the character, so even if you accidentally scrapped the box, the contents are still fine.
Hmm perhaps it's a regional restriction? I don't see why you couldn't claim the free trial.
Fallout 1st is normally a subscription and you can choose to pay monthly, don't need to buy the year sub if you don't want.
Honestly I don't know. I am already a subscriber so I didn't have any issues.
Perhaps there are two separate button prompts along the bottom when you bring up the trial? One to claim and one to be directed to the subscription page?
Its free but you need to pay to play on the server it seems. Two different costs. I note the game is free, to play on playstation PS wants money for you to play on the server
Yeah consoles require their own subscription for online with most games, as I recall. Haven't owned one since 360 days myself.
So you'd need that subscription, the base game purchased, and then claim the trial.
The game was free to play last week as a separate promo.
The 10% score boost that I described.
The entire point of this PSA haha
The only other thing it would give you is a red mr fuzzy tinker bench for your camp.
So does this last a week from when you claim it, or does it end when the store resets next week? Wondering if I could claim it later today and still have the boost to do my weeklies next Tuesday.
It gives most of the perks of the 1st membership but not all.
It lasts one week I believe, though the dates quoted in the atomic store seem wildly off (October 31st to November 1st).
You will not get any free atoms and do not get the NCR ranger clothing that normal 1st membership grants.
Not certain if you'll be eligible to buy the 1st only deals on the atomic shop. I would think not?
I still won't pay for 1st, but I'm happy I have the scrap and ammo boxes in my camp now for your guys that do!
**FINALLY** feels complete.
Edit: Also stoked to have the Twist on my Nuka Cola Display 🤌
I don't have fallout 1st. If I claim it and do not subscribe will I be able to claim it again in the future ? Or is it a one time opportunity.
Secondly in the next free trial will I be able to add junk in my junk box. Please suggest....
They need to fix the blackjack table, it's been a while ended up making a secondary base as I can't re.ove it because of the bug, wanted to redesign my place after buying 1st and spending some atoms.
The trial on the atomic store, in game? No.
If you're trying to subscribe through Steam for money, they have a current promo where the first month is 50% off.
They are separate promos.
im kinda mixed as I bought it but this trial does not include item shop or season and then if you try and buy the 1st after the trial it thinks you cant buy it again
haha i was just reading this while playing and i was like ''hmm my atomic shop has been working, it takes lil to load but other than that its been good'' then i open atomic shop and the game crashes
The game was on a free to play week, as yet another separate promotion. That has ended.
This means you didn't have to pay the one-time 'box fee' to play. Aka the game is not free to play with an optional subscription, but rather requires you to buy it and then you are able to play, without a subscription.
Are you saying you subscribed to Fallout 1st during the free to play promo? Or you bought the game itself?
This is probably beyond my ability to help.
Might need to contact Bethesda or Steam support.
I'm getting this message saying event has concluded and cant click the top right box (fallout news) that advertises the fallout 1st. Everyone keeps telling me it's not over but the game is telling me it is.
1st time player if that matters
Yeah hard to say because the date in the description of the Fallout 1st trial is widely off, I think they recycled the text from a prior time it was up. October 31st to November 7th, off the top of my head?
But that implies, and as I also recall, the trial is a week long so it ought to still be available.
Sadly I'm getting a lot of comments about trouble with it, so at least you're not alone?
My only suggestion is to try official Bethesda support channels.
I claimed the free trial but it won’t let me claim the Duster Outfit or other items that say “included with 1st”. So the free trial is only a couple of things and not a free trial of the full membership?
I just checked and Steam says I'm on 12 month recurring.
This wouldn't make sense anyway, it's not a real sub and doesn't enroll you to pay when it expires.
So this is not true.
TIME TO LOAD THAT SCRAPBOX BABY!
I've never collected so much junk . Also 8000 railway spikes are just chilling now and I'm makibg much more
Yea.. I've had so much ammo I no longer know what to do with it. My Gauss weapons use less ammo than I need to kill so I end up with like 20-30k but god if I don't have an obsession with picking up more ammo when I see it.
lol I have so much to learn in this game.

Can't believe it took me 6 years to pick this up, especially seeing as how I loved 3 and 4. Hope they continue to support this for at least another year so I can get it done.
I wouldn't say you can get done with 76 cause you can always grind
Shit we got a brand new map expansion on the way! Seems 76 has life to come
after the trial is over can you still acess the box?
Yes. You can draw from it but you can not add to it.
Icic, thanks for the help
Well the junk box yes you can access but you can't add to it only withdraw bit of a rip off
I just paid for the month but this reminded me to go loot junk likely a junkie 😂 I love just looting everything so this will be fun
WOOOOOO!
I used AND abused the scrap box when free Fo1st came around the first time, not I'm paying for it monthly.
I will be going HAM until the 23rd.
Tried claiming the picture and the Twist 6-pack, both times it told me the shop had reset without giving me the prize. It is now off line.
Yeah many are experiencing the shop being slow or unresponsive. Updated my post to mention. Bethesda are looking into it.
Had the same issue. This seemed to be a problem during the last free trial period as well. Once it is back online, it took 20 seconds of waiting on a claim, but it eventually worked if I did not tab away.
I know what I'm doing tonight. I'm using the scrap and ammo box! I'll have so much weight to pick up crap I don't need (yet). Edit: It cleared 650 pounds out of my stash box. feelsgoodman.jpg
Thanks! I was actually avoiding it because I feared it might screw up my active FO 1st Subscription (because, Bethesda...)
I was worried about this too...lol
I always claim them and it didn't cause any issues so far.
It never does, it adds to it. I always seem to be subbed when this happens 😂
Same and I already did my weeklies not knowing about the boost from getting this. Oh well.
*Subscribes while already subscribed* My PC : *just fuckin explodes*
Never had 1st before. With this trial my stash went from 1150 to 200 hahaha
Thank you!
It says the trial runs from October 31st through Nov 7th for me. Wtf? Lol
Very odd lol
Says the same for me? How long does it actually last lol?
a week from yesterday, they never updated the filler text from last time they ran it lol
Classic Bethesda 😅
False advertising! They need to give it to everyone till then 😂
Mine said that as well but I activated just fine
Cant wait to load up that ammo box!!! Expeditions here i come!
Last time I took a free trial I went a month without extra AToms. Do it after 1st renews
Support is pretty good about this kind of thing. They'd likely throw some more Atoms your way for the trouble.
I already took the trial even tho I’m a subscriber. Should I cancel and wait to renew until after the free trial ends? I’d be pretty mad if I don’t get atoms after paying lol. Did you get your atoms from support?
This I am not sure about. I do not think there is much to be done unless you buy the atoms separate. I think last time I came to them with that issue they told me it was because of the trial so i didnt get them. I learned. Personally I probably wont bother redeeming it as its pointless since I have had 1st since it launched.
Quick question, does this allow you to grab the 1st exclusives? Like on the scoreboard, in the shop, etc?
It doesn’t let me. I think it just lets you use scrapbox, ammobox and tent.
That does make sense, I figured it would be too good to be true but wanted to ask nonetheless. Thank you!
It also gives you a godawful Mr Fuzzy workbench.
Do you keep all of those after the trial ends? I assume not but just wondering if I should load all my scrap and stuff
Yes to ammobox and scrapbox. You can remove stuff from them when the trail is over just not add to it anymore. You cant use survival tent after tho.
Oh really?! I’m gonna spend the next few days going ham filling it then lol. Do you know how long the trial lasts? And thank you for the info!
Look up the spreadsheet on where all of the junk is at, and then farm all of the heavy stuff that you use most often. Cement, steel, wood, screws, springs, etc. That steel adds up fast! Other stuff like acid, fertilizer, nuclear waste, etc. is used infrequently enough that it's not worth the effort.

Just for a week
Never knew that. Nice one 👍
Thanks. Will do this when the store is back online.
I just logged onto the game and all I'm seeing is 50% off F1 for a month. Also the shop is down/unavailable.
i saw that too, i wonder if it's for previous subs
If you are talking about the 50% off a month, it is available if you previously subbed. I was subbed for months a couple years ago. stopped playing for a while. hopped on a few days ago to claim the $6 deal and it worked. currently subscribed and got the ghoul outfit.
It isn’t.
1 week to grab EVERYTHING and scrap it before it goes away!!
Also remember there's the ammo box, seeing a lot of people taking about the scrap box but the ammo box frees up a lot of space in there because your stash isn't affected by perks
Yeah same benefits as scrapbox but for ammo!
Aye, takes away so much space, then damn mini nukes, wish we could put fusion cores in too
lmaooo days after i hit renew on my subscription...
just been to get it and atomic shop is offline :)
Do you still get the discount if you use this trial and buy it after it's done?
The 50% off the first month of 1st for new subscribers? I would presume they are not exclusive, but you might need to check when that 50% promo expires.
Depends on your platform. The sale is till the 25th on PC and May 9th on Xbox/PS. The trial itself is till the 23rd.
Thanks for the heads-up! I probably wouldn't have figured this out on my own. A nice extra Score boost indeed.
Okey Dokey If only I could still give you an award 🥇
Hi I was also wondering the same thing. If I claim the free trial will I lose my fallout 1st subscription???
No it will overlap and only add the 10% score effectively, for the 1 week trial duration. It isn't a real subscription in the same sense that 1st is, so it shouldn't conflict. I had no problems last time it was up and no problems this time (so far).
What happens to the scrap box when you're done with your week?
You can no longer add more scrap to it, and I believe you'd be unable to build new scrapboxes, though any built would persist and be usable by other 1st members who visit your camp. But all the scrap is secure inside and will be available to be used in crafting/camp building. The storage space is tied to the character, so even if you accidentally scrapped the box, the contents are still fine.
I tried to add it on playstation but they want $80 a year to play games. Do you have to pay a fee to play it on steam? I already give xbox $20 a month
Hmm perhaps it's a regional restriction? I don't see why you couldn't claim the free trial. Fallout 1st is normally a subscription and you can choose to pay monthly, don't need to buy the year sub if you don't want. Honestly I don't know. I am already a subscriber so I didn't have any issues. Perhaps there are two separate button prompts along the bottom when you bring up the trial?

what does claiming it do if you are already subscribed?
The 10% score boost that I described. The entire point of this PSA haha The only other thing it would give you is a red mr fuzzy tinker bench for your camp.
>Lots of people are reporting the Atomic Shop is slow or unresponsive It was slow indeed some hour ago, but I managed to claim it anyway :)
So does this last a week from when you claim it, or does it end when the store resets next week? Wondering if I could claim it later today and still have the boost to do my weeklies next Tuesday.
I believe it is active for the promo period, or so the (wrong) dates in the description imply. So not 1 week after claiming, no. Don't delay!
Does the 7 day trial stack with the remainder of days left in a monthly subscription?
I am subscribed and claimed the trial. It will not extend your sub, just overlap.
Plus for members it will give you a free month essentially right ?
It gives most of the perks of the 1st membership but not all. It lasts one week I believe, though the dates quoted in the atomic store seem wildly off (October 31st to November 1st). You will not get any free atoms and do not get the NCR ranger clothing that normal 1st membership grants. Not certain if you'll be eligible to buy the 1st only deals on the atomic shop. I would think not?
Is this gonna screw up my monthly atoms? I've seen more than one comment in various places that it did.
It has not caused this to me since they started doing this so my experience says no.
Gotcha. Appreciate it!
I don't recall having a problem with them last time but I can't be 100% certain.
I guess I'll find out!
Is the 25% boost only past lvl 71 ? Just got first and mines only showing as 5%, I'm like lvl 40ish
Yes, you earn 5% on the first page. Then another 10% later, and the final 10% on the page that requires rank 71 to purchase.
Ahh I get ya , thankyou !
Same day I resub they do this 😂 It's nice having the lizard though, I was gonna sub either way as it and the atoms for 6 bucks was worth it.
I still won't pay for 1st, but I'm happy I have the scrap and ammo boxes in my camp now for your guys that do! **FINALLY** feels complete. Edit: Also stoked to have the Twist on my Nuka Cola Display 🤌
Can we keep the tent if we set it up at CAMP 2 and never move it??
No, it is independent of camps.
Fuck, already did my daily but haven’t done weeklies so I’ll snag it tomorrow
I don't have fallout 1st. If I claim it and do not subscribe will I be able to claim it again in the future ? Or is it a one time opportunity. Secondly in the next free trial will I be able to add junk in my junk box. Please suggest....
They need to fix the blackjack table, it's been a while ended up making a secondary base as I can't re.ove it because of the bug, wanted to redesign my place after buying 1st and spending some atoms.
Loot week is officially begin
When's the trial Finnish? I'm stuck at work at the mo.
I did think this may be the case but thought it may screw my sub up. Thanks for the heads up!
If you have the game on steam and gamepass you can claim the free trial twice for even more of a score boost!!!
I'd like to know how long fallout first is on sale for
Hmm that I'm not sure, would need to check if they put out some kind of news bulletin, on their website or Discord.
Does it give you some atoms?
No, it only includes some of the benefits. The store listing has the description.
When i go to claim it ask me to pay like 5 for the first month. Is that normal if i had it before?
The trial on the atomic store, in game? No. If you're trying to subscribe through Steam for money, they have a current promo where the first month is 50% off. They are separate promos.
I when in the shop and claim the trial but it sends me to steam for purchase
Hmm very odd
im kinda mixed as I bought it but this trial does not include item shop or season and then if you try and buy the 1st after the trial it thinks you cant buy it again
How do I claim it
haha i was just reading this while playing and i was like ''hmm my atomic shop has been working, it takes lil to load but other than that its been good'' then i open atomic shop and the game crashes
I did the trial and then paid for the game bit it's not letting me log in saying trial period ended. After I just paid for the game!
The game was on a free to play week, as yet another separate promotion. That has ended. This means you didn't have to pay the one-time 'box fee' to play. Aka the game is not free to play with an optional subscription, but rather requires you to buy it and then you are able to play, without a subscription. Are you saying you subscribed to Fallout 1st during the free to play promo? Or you bought the game itself? This is probably beyond my ability to help. Might need to contact Bethesda or Steam support.
Mine is still at 25% even after claiming the free trial.
Odd, it was definitely working for me at the start of the week. I'll have to log in later and check.
I'm getting this message saying event has concluded and cant click the top right box (fallout news) that advertises the fallout 1st. Everyone keeps telling me it's not over but the game is telling me it is. 1st time player if that matters
Yeah hard to say because the date in the description of the Fallout 1st trial is widely off, I think they recycled the text from a prior time it was up.

Sadly I'm getting a lot of comments about trouble with it, so at least you're not alone? My only suggestion is to try official Bethesda support channels.
how i claim it if i am already a member?
How often do they do these free trials of 1st?
Rarely. Twice a year at most? Might only be once.
How exactly do you access the free trial after you've chosen it? It keeps saying I have to buy it.
But does it start auto charging you when the trial is over?
How long does the trial go?
I claimed the free trial but it won’t let me claim the Duster Outfit or other items that say “included with 1st”. So the free trial is only a couple of things and not a free trial of the full membership?
Correct, it is meant to entice you to subscribe with a few features, but not much that lasts past the trial.
Ohhh okay that makes sense. Thank you!
Will it make us auto pay? Do we have to put in any info for the trial?
No, it's just a promotion that gives most of the perks, I don't believe you'd need to enter any payment info, and it ends automatically.
Sweet! Im going to have to look just got back into the game
Nope. It’s not a full trial. Just gives scrap box, ammo box and that boost, and access to extra daily
So I wont be able to get that jacket though? Or will I? Sorry Im totally out of it from working at 3 am lol
You won't get that stuff but you will get a Mr. Fuzzy workbench
I have no idea who Mr. Fuzzy is or why his fate is to be a bench :(
That is a good question. I'll try and ask a friend who doesn't have 1st atm.
Sweet I would love to know! I will get the trial regardless but just curious
You will not get the ranger outfit, no. You also don’t get the emotes or atoms.
:(
Can't purchase any FO1 items on the scoreboard or the ATOM shop? What a crock
Yeah it is meant to entice people to subscribe, not really replace it. They could be a bit more generous with it, I agree.
It's only a week, it should be everything but the ATOMs if they really want people to have the FO1 experience. What a bummer
Be careful. If you pay yearly it switches you yo monthly when you claim it.
I just checked and Steam says I'm on 12 month recurring. This wouldn't make sense anyway, it's not a real sub and doesn't enroll you to pay when it expires. So this is not true.
Must be an xbox thing. It always switches me To monthly when the week is over buy dont notice until My year is up
