Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This exciting update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that lets players take on the role of a ghoul, offering unique advantages and challenges. Once transformed, players will benefit from complete immunity to radiation, which will now serve as a healing factor rather than a hazard. However, this transformation may lead to hostility from certain in-game factions, significantly altering player interactions.
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 new gameplay mechanic focused on managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate higher levels of radiation, they can unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. Additionally, players have the opportunity to enhance their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics. For those who wish to revert to their human form, the option is always available, ensuring flexibility in how players choose to engage with the game.
Set to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize the way players interact with the wasteland in Fallout 76, offering a fresh and immersive experience.
