Original Post — Direct link

Immediately following BE3, an article about an E3 special was posted on the official website. It clearly says "from now until...". I went to buy the atoms and the "Buy Atoms" window just showed the regular 1,000 + 100 bonus atoms. I figured it must give you the rewards after the transaction. I was mistaken.

I guess "now" doesn't actually mean "now". I expect that this will be added later in the day but I really wish they would have waited to post that article or at least given a time that the deal would start rather than simply saying "now". I should have been patient and just waited but after double-checking the article I went ahead and made the purchase. I'm not posting for sympathy or just to complain, I just want others who might be online before this deal goes up know that it is not yet live.

Edit: I just checked the official forum and others are reporting the same thing.

Hello,

The E3 Atom Bonus Bundle mentioned in that article will be available in-game after today's maintenance is finished and Fallout 76 is back online. If you purchased the existing 1,000 Atom bundle during this time but intended to purchase the E3 Atom Bonus Bundle, please contact our Customer Support Team by filing a ticket​. 

We've also updated the article to clarify that the new bundle will be available after maintenance. Thank you and apologies for any confusion.!
