Bethesda has just unveiled the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul." This eagerly awaited update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, bringing with it unique advantages and challenges. Once transformed, players will revel in complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing agent rather than a threat. However, this transformation may cause some in-game factions to view ghouls with hostility, significantly altering player interactions.
Starting at level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst, but introduces a fresh gameplay mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to redesign their C.A.M.P. setups with new, thematic radioactive aesthetics. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option is always available, ensuring a versatile gameplay experience.
Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize the way players navigate and interact with the wasteland in Fallout 76.
