Bethesda has just unveiled the details of Fallout 76 Season 20, dubbed "Glow of the Ghoul," set to launch on March 18. This eagerly anticipated update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic where players can transform into ghouls, starting at level 50. Embracing the ghoul role comes with unique advantages and challenges, redefining gameplay in the wasteland.
Upon transformation, players gain complete immunity to radiation, which now acts as a healing mechanism rather than a threat. This twist allows for new strategic approaches in navigating the radioactive environments of Fallout 76. However, this change isn't without its drawbacks; certain in-game factions may become hostile towards ghouls, significantly altering player interactions and alliances.
As a ghoul, players no longer need to worry about basic survival needs such as hunger and thirst. Instead, they must manage their feral progression and radiation accumulation. Accumulating higher levels of radiation unlocks special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to customize their C.A.M.P. with thematic radioactive aesthetics, enhancing the immersive experience of being a ghoul.
Flexibility remains key, as players can revert to their human form at any time, ensuring they can switch between gameplay styles as they see fit. The "Glow of the Ghoul" update promises to redefine how players engage with the Fallout 76 wasteland, offering fresh challenges and exciting new ways to experience the game.
