Is Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76 Worth It?

After years of battling Ghouls in *Fallout 76*, players now have the chance to experience life from the other side with a new questline. However, the decision to become a Ghoul is one that requires careful consideration. Let's dive into what it means to become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* and help you decide if it's the right move for you.

How To Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To transform into a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*, you need to reach at least level 50 and embark on the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once you accept it, you'll head to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through your transformation. It's a straightforward process, but weighing the pros and cons is essential before making the leap.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

As a Ghoul, you unlock unique abilities such as Feral and Glow. The Feral ability comes with a meter that starts at 100% and decreases over time. You can boost it back up by using Chems. Here’s what the Feral meter provides:

• 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 indulging in activities you normally wouldn't, like consuming spoiled food and exploring irradiated areas.

Additionally, Ghouls gain access to new Perk cards that complement the existing human ones, enhancing your gameplay significantly. You're also immune to diseases and don't need to worry about regular food while adventuring.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, becoming a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. By taking the "Leap of Faith" questline, you may find yourself at odds with certain factions, which can complicate your quest progress and potentially lock you out of completing some missions. Moreover, your Charisma decreases, making social interactions less enjoyable.

Fortunately, *Fallout 76* offers solutions to these issues. Jaye Vo, a new NPC introduced in 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 the drawbacks, the benefits of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* are compelling. The unique abilities and perks make it an exciting opportunity that's hard to pass up. If you later decide you want to revert to your human form, you can do so from the Character screen, though you'll have to abandon the "Leap of Faith" questline. You can transform back into a Ghoul after completing the questline for 1,000 Atoms.

Armed with this information, it's time to venture into the Savage Divide and explore the new possibilities that being a Ghoul offers in *Fallout 76*.

*Fallout 76 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
