In its latest announcement, Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This thrilling update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that allows players to step into the shoes of a ghoul, bringing unique advantages and challenges to the game. Once transformed, players will experience complete immunity to radiation, which, intriguingly, acts as a healing mechanism rather than a threat. However, this transformation may turn some in-game factions against ghouls, adding a new layer of complexity to player interactions.
Available from level 50 and above, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival elements like hunger and thirst. Instead, players must navigate a new system focused on managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock special perks, enhancing strategic gameplay. Additionally, the update offers the opportunity to redesign your C.A.M.P. with thematic radioactive aesthetics, enhancing the immersive experience. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option to revert is always available, ensuring a flexible gameplay experience.
Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize how players interact with the desolate landscape of Fallout 76.
