In its latest announcement, Bethesda has unveiled the much-anticipated details of Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update introduces a groundbreaking new mechanic that allows players to step into the shoes of a ghoul, offering unique advantages and challenges that promise to transform the gaming experience. Upon embracing their new ghoul identity, players will benefit from total immunity to radiation, which will serve as a healing factor rather than the usual hazard, adding a fresh layer of strategy to the game. However, this transformation comes with a twist; certain in-game factions may react negatively to ghouls, significantly altering player interactions and adding a social dynamic to the gameplay.

The ghoul transformation is accessible to players from level 50 onward, eliminating basic survival needs such as hunger and thirst but introducing a novel mechanic: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. As players accumulate higher levels of radiation, they can unlock special perks, adding depth and strategy to their gameplay. Additionally, the update allows players to revamp their C.A.M.P. setups with thematic radioactive aesthetics, enhancing the immersive experience of the wasteland. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, the option to revert to human form is available at any time, ensuring flexibility and catering to different gameplay styles.

Set to launch on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is poised to redefine how players navigate and engage with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76. This season promises to bring a fresh perspective and exciting new ways to explore the game's expansive universe.
