In its latest announcement, Bethesda has unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This eagerly anticipated update introduces a groundbreaking new mechanic that allows players to step into the shoes of a ghoul, presenting unique advantages and challenges. Upon embracing this transformation, players will benefit from total immunity to radiation, which will serve as a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this new identity may lead to altered interactions, as some in-game factions might view ghouls with hostility.
Available to players from level 50 and above, the ghoul transformation removes the need for basic survival concerns like hunger and thirst. Instead, it introduces an innovative mechanic focused on managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate higher levels of radiation, they unlock special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to their gameplay experience. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to enhance their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics. For those who wish to return to their human form, the flexibility to do so at any time ensures a versatile gameplay experience.
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 and engaging ways to explore the post-apocalyptic landscape.
