Unlock the Ghoul Within: Major Updates in Fallout 76

Bethesda has officially launched the Ghoul Within update for Fallout 76, introducing playable Ghouls to the Wasteland. This exciting update is now live, coinciding with Season 20: Glow of the Ghoul, which brings a host of ghoul-themed rewards and new C.A.M.P. items for players to enjoy.

Experience Fallout Like Never Before: Playable Ghouls!

For the first time in the Fallout universe, players can take on the role of a Ghoul by completing a special Level 50 quest. This groundbreaking feature allows players to experience Appalachia from a unique perspective, as NPCs and factions interact differently with a Ghoul compared to a regular human Wastelander.

Unique Advantages of Being a Ghoul

Playing as a Ghoul comes with numerous benefits, such as immunity to radiation damage and the ability to use radiation to heal. Players will also gain access to 30 new Ghoul-specific Perk cards. However, the Ghoul life isn’t without its challenges. With a new Feral Meter replacing the standard hunger and thirst meters, players must manage their status carefully: if the meter fills too much, they risk going Feral, which introduces its own set of advantages and drawbacks.

Flexibility for Players: Reverting Back to Human

For those who find the Ghoul lifestyle isn’t for them, Bethesda offers a way to revert back to a human form once per character. If you decide to embrace the Ghoul identity again in the future, simply purchase a token from the Atomic Shop.

Availability Across Platforms

Fallout 76: Ghoul Within and the Season 20: Glow of the Ghoul updates are available now on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PS4, as well as for Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra members. Season 20 will continue until June, leading up to the next update and Season 21 across all platforms.
