Bethesda has unveiled an enthralling new chapter for Fallout 76 with Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update, launching on March 18, introduces a groundbreaking feature where players can transform into ghouls, offering a fresh and immersive gameplay experience. As a ghoul, players will gain total immunity to radiation, which uniquely functions as a healing mechanism rather than a threat. However, this transformation comes with its own set of challenges, as certain in-game factions may react negatively to ghouls, potentially altering social dynamics within the game.
Available to players from level 50, embracing the ghoul life removes the need to manage basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. Instead, players must navigate a new system involving feral progression and radiation accumulation. Higher radiation levels not only increase the risk of going feral but also unlock exclusive perks, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. Furthermore, the update allows players to customize their C.A.M.P. with new radioactive-themed aesthetics, enhancing the post-apocalyptic atmosphere. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, ensuring players can switch between gameplay styles seamlessly.
With "Glow of the Ghoul," Fallout 76 is set to transform how players interact with the wasteland, promising an engaging and dynamic experience starting March 18.
