Bethesda has just announced the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update brings a fascinating new gameplay mechanic, allowing players to fully embrace their inner ghoul. Upon transformation, which is available from level 50, players gain total immunity to radiation, which not only eliminates the hazard but also serves as a healing factor. This unique twist adds a new layer of strategy to surviving the wasteland. However, embracing the ghoul lifestyle comes with its own set of challenges; certain in-game factions may view ghouls with hostility, potentially shifting player dynamics and interactions.
Transforming into a ghoul removes the need to manage basic survival elements like hunger and thirst, simplifying some aspects of the game. Instead, players must now navigate a new system involving feral progression and radiation accumulation. As radiation levels rise, players can unlock special perks, enhancing their gameplay experience with strategic depth. The update also allows for the customization of C.A.M.P. setups with a new range of thematic radioactive aesthetics, letting players truly personalize their post-apocalyptic homes.
For those who wish to explore different playstyles, the flexibility to revert to human form at any time is a welcome feature. Scheduled to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize the way players interact with the Fallout 76 world, offering a fresh perspective on survival in the wasteland.
