Bethesda has unveiled an exhilarating update for Fallout 76 with Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul." This new season introduces a groundbreaking feature that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, complete with unique perks and challenges. Once transformed, players gain complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing mechanism instead of a threat. However, this transformation may lead to hostility from certain in-game factions, adding a new layer of complexity to player interactions.
Available to players who have reached level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. Instead, it introduces a novel gameplay mechanic centered around managing feral progression and accumulating radiation. As radiation levels rise, players unlock exclusive perks, enhancing strategic gameplay. Additionally, the update allows players to customize their C.A.M.P. with a radioactive theme, fitting the ghoul aesthetic. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, providing flexibility in gameplay.
Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to transform the way players experience the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
