Bethesda has just unveiled the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This season brings a groundbreaking new feature where players can step into the shoes of a ghoul, introducing unique perks and challenges. Once transformed, players will gain complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing mechanism rather than a threat. However, this transformation may shift the dynamics with certain in-game factions, potentially turning them hostile towards ghouls, thus reshaping player interactions.
Starting at level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. In their place, a novel mechanic comes into play: managing the progression towards becoming feral and accumulating radiation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, adding a layer of strategic decision-making to the gameplay. Furthermore, players can enhance their C.A.M.P. with a new radioactive-themed aesthetic, fully immersing themselves in the ghoul lifestyle. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, offering versatile gameplay options.
Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize the way players experience the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
