Season 20 of Fallout 76 Introduces Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics

Bethesda has unveiled the highly anticipated details of Fallout 76's Season 20, themed "Glow of the Ghoul." This update brings an innovative feature that enables players to transform into ghouls, offering both unique advantages and intriguing challenges. Once transformed, players will benefit from complete immunity to radiation, which will act as a healing factor instead of a hindrance. However, some factions within the game may view ghouls unfavorably, impacting player interactions and alliances.

Available to players at level 50 and beyond, the ghoul transformation removes fundamental survival requirements such as hunger and thirst while introducing a new gameplay mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels increase, players will gain access to exclusive perks, adding strategic complexity to their gameplay. Moreover, players can customize their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive designs. For those who wish to return to their human form, the option remains accessible at any time, providing flexibility in playstyle.

Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update aims to revolutionize player engagement within the Fallout 76 universe.
