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

Bethesda has unveiled the exciting details of Fallout 76 Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul." This eagerly anticipated update introduces a thrilling new mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, offering unique benefits and challenges. Once transformed, players will benefit from complete immunity to radiation, which will serve as a healing factor rather than a threat. 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 such as hunger and thirst. Instead, it introduces a fresh gameplay mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to their experience. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to redecorate their C.A.M.P. setups with a radioactive theme. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, providing flexibility in gameplay style.

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