Season 20 of Fallout 76 Introduces Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics

In an exciting update, Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This season introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, bringing both unique advantages and challenges to the game. Upon transforming into a ghoul, players gain complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this transformation may lead to hostility from certain in-game factions, significantly altering player interactions.

Starting at level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements such as hunger and thirst. Instead, players must navigate a new system focused on managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. Accumulating higher radiation levels unlocks special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. Furthermore, players can enhance their C.A.M.P. setups with new, thematic radioactive aesthetics. For those who prefer the human experience, reverting back is always an option, ensuring a flexible gameplay experience.

Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize the way players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
