"Fallout 76 Season 20: Ghoul Transformation and New Mechanics Introduced"

Bethesda has recently unveiled exciting details about Fallout 76 Season 20, aptly named "Glow of the Ghoul." This update introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that allows players to step into the shoes of a ghoul, offering unique advantages and challenges. Upon transforming into a ghoul, players will gain complete immunity to radiation, which remarkably transforms into a healing factor rather than a threat. However, this new role comes with its own set of challenges, as certain in-game factions may react hostilely to ghouls, significantly altering player interactions.

Starting at level 50, the ghoul transformation removes the need to manage basic survival aspects such as hunger and thirst. Instead, players must focus on a new mechanic: managing their feral progression and accumulating radiation. As radiation levels increase, players unlock special perks, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay experience. Furthermore, players can enhance their C.A.M.P. setups with new, thematic radioactive aesthetics. For those who prefer their original form, the ability to revert to a human at any time ensures versatile gameplay options.

Scheduled for release on March 18, the "Glow of the Ghoul" update is set to revolutionize the way players interact with the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
