Bethesda has unveiled the details for Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This thrilling update introduces a groundbreaking feature that lets players transform into ghouls, offering a unique gameplay experience filled with both advantages and challenges. Upon embracing the ghoul role, players gain total immunity to radiation, which now serves as a healing mechanism rather than a threat. However, this transformation may cause certain in-game factions to turn hostile, significantly altering player interactions.
Starting at level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst, but introduces a new gameplay mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate higher levels of radiation, they unlock special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to their adventures. Furthermore, players can enhance their C.A.M.P. with new radioactive-themed aesthetics, fully immersing themselves in the ghoul lifestyle. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, ensuring a versatile gameplay experience.
Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize the way players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
