Fallout 76's Season 20 Adds Ghoul Transformation and New Gameplay Mechanics

Bethesda has just unveiled the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, offering unique advantages and challenges. Once transformed, players will revel in complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this transformation comes with a twist: certain in-game factions may become hostile towards ghouls, significantly altering player interactions and adding a new layer of strategy to the game.

Available to players from level 50 and above, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. Instead, it introduces a novel mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, enhancing the strategic depth of gameplay. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to redesign their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics, fully immersing themselves in the ghoul experience. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option is always available, ensuring a flexible gameplay experience.

Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize the way players navigate and interact with the wasteland in Fallout 76.
