Bethesda has unveiled the exciting details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that lets players fully embrace the life of a ghoul, presenting unique advantages and challenges. Upon transforming into a ghoul, players will experience complete immunity to radiation, which will now serve as a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this transformation may lead to altered interactions, as certain in-game factions may become hostile towards ghouls.
Starting at level 50, players can undergo the ghoul transformation, which removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. Instead, a new mechanic comes into play: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to their gameplay experience. Additionally, players have the opportunity to enhance their C.A.M.P. with thematic radioactive aesthetics, allowing for personalized and immersive base setups. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option is always available, ensuring players can switch between gameplay styles seamlessly.
Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize how players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
