Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul," bringing a thrilling new gameplay mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul. This transformation, available from level 50, comes with unique benefits and challenges. As a ghoul, players gain complete immunity to radiation, which not only neutralizes a common threat but also acts as a healing mechanism. However, this new identity may shift dynamics with certain in-game factions, leading to altered interactions throughout the game.
Embracing ghoul life removes the need to manage basic survival elements like hunger and thirst, but introduces a fresh challenge: balancing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate more radiation, they unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay experience. Furthermore, the update allows players to enhance their C.A.M.P. with a new range of radioactive-themed aesthetics, enhancing the post-apocalyptic vibe. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, providing flexibility in how you choose to explore the wasteland.
Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize player engagement within the world of Fallout 76.
