In a thrilling update, Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This season introduces a groundbreaking new mechanic that allows players to step into the shoes of a ghoul, offering unique advantages and challenges. Upon transforming into a ghoul, players will benefit from complete immunity to radiation, which will not only protect them but also act as a healing factor. 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 to manage basic survival needs such as hunger and thirst. Instead, players must navigate a new mechanic: managing their feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players can unlock 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 wish to return to their human form, the option is available at any time, ensuring a versatile gameplay experience.
Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize the way players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
