"Is Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76 Worth It?"

In *Fallout 76*, players now have the thrilling opportunity to experience life from the perspective of a Ghoul through a new questline called "Leap of Faith." This unique feature allows players to transform into a Ghoul, offering a fresh gameplay experience. But before you take the plunge, it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons to determine if becoming a Ghoul is the right move for you.

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To embark on this transformation, you must be at least level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once you do, head to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through the process. It's a straightforward journey, but understanding the advantages and disadvantages is key.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Turning into a Ghoul unlocks a range of exciting new abilities. With the Feral ability, your meter starts at 100% and gradually decreases. To replenish it, consume Chems, which offers the following benefits:

• Above 80%: +3 Strength, +3 Endurance, +30 Max HP
• Above 60%: +15 Max HP
• Above 40%: -1 Endurance, -5 Max HP
• Above 20%: -3 Endurance, -15 Max HP, -10 Max AP
• At 0%: +150% Melee Damage, -5 Endurance, -99 Charisma, -30 Max HP, -20 Max AP, -300% Hip-fire Gun Accuracy & V.A.T.S. Accuracy

The Glow ability increases your maximum health and allows you to heal from damage by embracing typically harmful activities like consuming bad food and wandering in irradiated areas.

Additionally, Ghouls gain access to exclusive Perk cards, which can be used alongside standard human Perk cards, enhancing your gameplay significantly. As a Ghoul, you're immune to diseases and don't need to worry about regular food, freeing you up to explore more freely.
