"Is Becoming a Ghoul Worth It in Fallout 76?"

After years of battling Ghouls in *Fallout 76*, players now have the unique opportunity to experience life from the other side. A new questline, "Leap of Faith," introduces the chance to transform into a Ghoul, but the decision is not one to take lightly. So, should you embrace the Ghoul life in *Fallout 76*?

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To transform into a Ghoul in Fallout 76, you must reach at least level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once you do, you'll journey to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through the transformation process. It's a straightforward journey, but consider the pros and cons before making your choice.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Transforming into a Ghoul unlocks new abilities like Feral and Glow. The Feral meter, starting at 100%, decreases over time but can be replenished with Chems. Here's what the Feral meter offers:

• Above 80%: +3 Strength, +3 Endurance, +30 Max HP
• Above 60%: +15 Max HP
• Above 40%: -1 Endurance, -5 Max HP
• Above 20%: -3 Endurance, -15 Max HP, -10 Max AP
• At 0%: +150% Melee Damage, -5 Endurance, -99 Charisma, -30 Max HP, -20 Max AP, -300% Hip-fire Gun Accuracy & V.A.T.S. Accuracy

The Glow ability boosts your maximum health and allows healing from radiation damage. Embrace the unconventional by consuming spoiled food and exploring irradiated areas to benefit from this ability.

Ghouls also gain access to exclusive Perk cards, enhancing their gameplay alongside traditional human Perk cards. Additionally, Ghouls are immune to diseases and don't need regular food, making exploration easier and more enjoyable.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, becoming a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. Engaging in the "Leap of Faith" questline may strain your relations with certain factions, potentially hindering your ability to complete quests. Ghouls also suffer from reduced Charisma, making interactions less engaging.

Fortunately, Fallout 76 offers solutions to these issues. A new NPC, Jaye Vo, introduced in the "Leap of Faith" questline, provides disguises to navigate faction tensions and continue your missions without unnecessary conflicts.

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

Despite the drawbacks, the advantages of becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76 are compelling. The unique features and gameplay enhancements make it a tempting choice. If you later decide to revert to a human form, you can do so from the Character screen, though you won't be able to complete the "Leap of Faith" questline. You can transform back into a Ghoul after the questline for 1,000 Atoms.

Armed with this knowledge, venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul identity to explore Fallout 76 from a fresh perspective.

Fallout 76 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
