Fallout 76's Season 20 Adds Ghoul Transformation and New Gameplay Mechanics

Bethesda has just unveiled the thrilling details of Fallout 76 Season 20: "Glow of the Ghoul." This update introduces a game-changing mechanic: ghoul transformation. Become a ghoul and enjoy complete radiation immunity—radiation will actually heal you! However, this transformation comes with a twist: some factions will become hostile, dramatically changing your interactions within the game.

Available to players level 50 and above, the ghoul transformation removes the need to worry about hunger and thirst. But it adds a new layer of strategic depth: managing feral progression and radiation accumulation. Higher radiation levels unlock unique perks, encouraging players to experiment and find optimal playstyles. You can even customize your C.A.M.P. with radioactive-themed decorations to fully embrace your new ghoul identity. And if you decide to return to your human form, you can do so at any time.

Prepare for a drastically altered wasteland experience when "Glow of the Ghoul" launches on March 18th. This update promises to redefine Fallout 76 gameplay.
