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

After years of battling Ghouls in *Fallout 76*, players now have the chance to experience life from the other side with a new questline. But is becoming a Ghoul something you should dive into? Let's break it down for you.

How To Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To embark on your journey as a Ghoul, you need to be at least level 50 and accept the “Leap of Faith” questline. Once you do, you'll head to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through your transformation. It's a straightforward process, but there are significant pros and cons to consider.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

As a Ghoul, you unlock unique abilities like Feral and Glow. With Feral, your meter begins at 100% and decreases over time. You can replenish it by using 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 boosts your maximum health and allows you to heal from damage, which you can activate by engaging in activities like eating spoiled food and exploring irradiated areas.

Additionally, Ghouls can use a new set of Perk cards, which complement the usual human cards, providing significant advantages. You're also immune to diseases and don't need regular food while exploring, making your adventures more seamless.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, becoming a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. Joining the “Leap of Faith” questline can strain your relations with certain factions, potentially blocking you from completing some quests. Your Charisma will also decrease, making social interactions less rewarding.

Fortunately, *Fallout 76* offers solutions to these issues. A new NPC named Jaye Vo, part of the “Leap of Faith” questline, provides disguises that allow you to continue your missions and avoid conflicts.

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* are too compelling to ignore. The unique abilities and Perk cards significantly enhance your gameplay experience. If you change your mind later, you can revert to your human form from the Character screen, though you'll need to complete the “Leap of Faith” questline first. You can become a Ghoul again post-questline for 1,000 Atoms.

With all these insights, it's time to venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul identity to shake up your gameplay.
