Season 20 of Fallout 76 Introduces Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics

Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul," which introduces an innovative new feature: players can now transform into ghouls. This exciting mechanic comes with unique advantages and challenges, transforming the way you experience the post-apocalyptic world. Upon embracing your inner ghoul at level 50, you'll gain total immunity to radiation, which not only neutralizes its harmful effects but actually serves as a healing factor, revitalizing your character amidst the nuclear wasteland.

However, this transformation isn't without its drawbacks. Some in-game factions may react negatively to your new ghoul persona, potentially altering your interactions and alliances within the game. Alongside the benefits, ghouls no longer need to worry about basic survival needs like hunger and thirst, but they must manage a new mechanic: the balance between feral progression and radiation accumulation. As your radiation levels increase, you'll unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to your gameplay decisions.

The "Glow of the Ghoul" update also allows for a thematic overhaul of your C.A.M.P. with new radioactive aesthetics, enhancing the immersive experience of living as a ghoul. If you ever feel the urge to return to your human form, the game offers the flexibility to revert at any time, ensuring you can switch between gameplay styles as you see fit.

Mark your calendars for the debut of "Glow of the Ghoul" on March 18. This update is set to redefine your engagement with the wasteland in Fallout 76, promising a fresh and thrilling chapter in your post-apocalyptic journey.
