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

Bethesda has unveiled the exciting details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This groundbreaking update introduces a thrilling new mechanic that allows players to fully embrace the role of a ghoul, bringing both unique advantages and challenges to the gameplay experience. Upon transformation, players will gain total immunity to radiation, which remarkably shifts from a hazard to a healing factor, enhancing their survival in the wasteland. However, this change in status may lead to altered interactions, as some in-game factions might turn against ghouls, adding a new layer of complexity to player dynamics.

Available to players from level 50 and above, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements 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 strategic element to their gameplay. Additionally, the update offers players the chance to revamp their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics, further immersing them into the ghoul lifestyle. For those who wish to revert to their human form, the option is always available, ensuring a flexible gameplay experience.

Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize how players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76, promising an engaging and dynamic season ahead.
