Fallout 76
For the first time ever, a major Fallout 76 update will allow «players to switch sides and become a ghoul.
Bethesda offers a completely new play style in the Glow of the Ghoul update. Despite the seasonal event and some fixes, the most notable feature will be the first time the ability to play as a mutant, and not just endure their hostile neighborhood.
You won’t be able to become a monster in the new game (or get your money ready). The player must reach level 50, after which a special line of quests, Leap of Faith, opens. It will allow you to change the appearance of the character and gain unique abilities. But, of course, Bethesda would not have missed the opportunity to monetize this — players can pay for an instant level up to 50 for atoms (in-game currency).
The advantage of the ghoul is their immunity to diseases and mutations, and the absence of damage from radiation because now it is on the player’s side. Radiation gives buffs and even increases the maximum health. But it’s worth monitoring the Feral meter, which replaced the hunger and thirst system. When it’s full, it gives bonuses, but if it drops to 0%… well, let’s just say your friends in the vault are no longer happy to see you.
After turning a character into a ghoul, players get access to 30 new power-up cards that open up various possibilities. For example, they can sprint faster, instantly reload weapons, and absorb three times more radiation from food and water. You can also optimize the gameplay for aggressive attacks or stealth, as well as add unique abilities, enhance certain characteristics, or change the style of play.
Season 20 adds a new location in Savage Divide, which is likely to be directly related to the ghoul theme. There are also a bunch of mutant-inspired C.A.M.P. items (including the radioactive Goo-Tub) and the seasonal event «Greatest Blossom», which starts on April 29. In addition, Bethesda has carried out a large-scale balance update:
When Fallout 76 first came out, it was received coldly, but Bethesda still continues to add new content. The next major update is scheduled for June, along with the 21st season. Meanwhile, the second season is being filmed Fallout. The network has already «leaked» locations that will be shown in future episodes, including New Vegas, which sometimes looks too new.
