Season 20 of Fallout 76 Introduces Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics

In its latest announcement, Bethesda has unveiled the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This highly anticipated update introduces a groundbreaking new mechanic, allowing players to fully embrace the life of a ghoul, complete with unique advantages and intriguing challenges. Once transformed, players will revel in complete immunity to radiation, which remarkably transforms into a healing factor rather than the usual hazard. However, be prepared for altered dynamics, as certain in-game factions may turn hostile towards ghouls, significantly impacting player interactions.

Available from level 50, the ghoul transformation does away with the basic survival needs such as hunger and thirst, but introduces a novel mechanic: 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 revamp their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics, enhancing the immersive environment of the game. For those who wish to switch back to their human form, the flexibility to revert at any time ensures a versatile gameplay style.

Set to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize the way players navigate and interact with the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 76.
