In *Fallout 76*, a new questline offers players the chance to experience life from the perspective of a Ghoul, a significant shift from the usual human gameplay. This intriguing opportunity raises the question: Should you embrace the Ghoul life in *Fallout 76*? Let's delve into the details to help you make an informed decision.
How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76
To transform into a Ghoul, you need to reach at least level 50 and embark on the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once you accept this quest, you'll journey to the Savage Divide, where you'll meet characters who will guide you through your transformation. The process is straightforward, but becoming a Ghoul comes with its own set of advantages and challenges.
Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76
As a Ghoul, you unlock unique abilities like Feral and Glow. The Feral meter, which starts at 100% and decreases over time, can be replenished with Chems, offering various benefits:
- Above 80%: Gain +3 Strength, +3 Endurance, +30 Max HP
- Above 60%: Gain +15 Max HP
- Above 40%: Lose -1 Endurance and -5 Max HP
- Above 20%: Lose -3 Endurance, -15 Max HP, -10 Max AP
- At 0%: Gain +150% Melee Damage, but lose -5 Endurance, -99 Charisma, -30 Max HP, -20 Max AP, -300% Hip-fire Gun Accuracy & V.A.T.S. Accuracy
The Glow ability enhances your maximum health and allows you to heal from radiation damage, encouraging you to explore irradiated environments and consume less-than-ideal food. Additionally, Ghouls have access to exclusive Perk cards that can be used alongside human Perk cards, providing versatile gameplay options. As a Ghoul, you're also immune to diseases and don't need regular food, making exploration easier.
Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76
However, there are drawbacks to consider. Joining the Ghoul ranks through the "Leap of Faith" questline can sour your relations with certain factions, complicating your ability to complete quests. Additionally, your Charisma decreases, which can make interactions less engaging. But *Fallout 76* offers a solution through Jaye Vo, a new NPC in the questline, who provides disguises to help you navigate these challenges and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?
Despite the cons, the advantages of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* are compelling enough to consider. The unique abilities and perks make it an exciting addition to the game. If you later decide you prefer being human, you can revert from the Character screen, though you'll need to wait until you've completed the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once finished, you can transform back into a Ghoul for a cost of 1,000 Atoms.
With this information, you're ready to venture into the Savage Divide and explore the thrilling possibilities that come with being a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*.
