The latest episode of the Fallout TV series left many players craving a return to the post-apocalyptic world of West Virginia. Fortunately, the timing couldn’t be better: Fallout 76 is now free to play until February 5, aligning with the Season 2 finale. This presents a rare opportunity to dive into the game’s expanded world, from raiding settlements to trading with factions—without spending a dime.
But those hoping to wield the NCR power armor seen in the show will face a sticker shock. The Mojave Bundle, which includes the armor, Legion Legate attire, camp decorations, and a Super Sledge, is priced at $30. That’s a steep cost for cosmetic items alone, especially when the entire Fallout series—including classics like New Vegas and Fallout 4—can be purchased for just $17.50.
Even the Fallout 1st membership, which grants a private server and monthly in-game currency, costs $26 for two months. For many players, the bundle’s price feels disproportionate to its contents, particularly when compared to past bundles that later dropped to 40% off within months.
The Mojave Bundle isn’t the only way to access Fallout 76, however. The game’s base version remains free until February 5, and players can always wait for potential discounts. Meanwhile, the show itself is available for free on YouTube until February 11, offering a chance to catch up before the next season.
For those torn between the free experience and the premium bundle, the decision hinges on whether the cosmetic rewards justify the cost—or if patience will yield a better deal.
- NCR Power Armor: The iconic suit featured in the show.
- Legion Legate Outfit: A unique cosmetic set.
- Camp Decorations: Includes an NCR flag and neon New Vegas sign.
- Super Sledge: A new weapon skin.
The bundle’s $30 price tag may deter casual players, but for collectors and lore enthusiasts, it’s a chance to align their in-game look with the show’s aesthetic. Whether it’s worth the cost depends on how deeply one engages with the game—and how long they’re willing to wait for a sale.
