Season 20 of Fallout 76 Introduces Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics

Bethesda has unveiled the exciting details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This season introduces a groundbreaking new mechanic that lets players step into the shoes of a ghoul, bringing with it a unique set of advantages and challenges. Once transformed, players will benefit from complete immunity to radiation, which uniquely serves as a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this new status might make some in-game factions wary, potentially altering player interactions in significant ways.

Players can access the ghoul transformation from level 50 and beyond. This change removes the need to manage basic survival elements like hunger and thirst, but it introduces a novel mechanic: balancing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate more radiation, they can unlock special perks, adding a strategic layer to their gameplay experience. Additionally, the update allows players to enhance their C.A.M.P. setups with a variety of thematic radioactive aesthetics, adding a personalized touch to their environment. For those who wish to switch back, returning to human form is always an option, ensuring players can flexibly choose their preferred gameplay style.

Set to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to revolutionize how players interact with the wasteland in Fallout 76, offering fresh challenges and immersive experiences.
