After years of battling Ghouls in *Fallout 76*, players now have the chance to experience life from their perspective through a new questline. But is becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* the right move for you? Let's dive into the details to help you decide.

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're on board, head to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through your transformation. It's a straightforward process, but consider the pros and cons before you make the leap.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Turning into a Ghoul unlocks new abilities like Feral and Glow. With Feral, your meter starts at 100% and decreases over time, but you can boost it back up with Chems. Here's how the Feral meter impacts your gameplay:

• Above 80%: Gain +3 Strength, +3 Endurance, +30 Max HP
• Above 60%: Gain +15 Max HP
• Above 40%: Lose -1 Endurance and -5 Max HP
• Above 20%: Lose -3 Endurance, -15 Max HP, -10 Max AP
• At 0%: Gain +150% Melee Damage, and lose -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. To activate it, indulge in activities you usually avoid, like consuming spoiled food and exploring irradiated areas.

Ghouls also gain access to exclusive Perk cards, which can be used alongside human Perk cards, offering significant gameplay advantages. Plus, as a Ghoul, you're immune to diseases and don't need regular food while exploring.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, becoming a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. Engaging in the "Leap of Faith" questline may strain your relations with certain factions, complicating your gameplay and potentially preventing you from completing some quests. Additionally, your Charisma will take a hit, making social interactions less enjoyable.

Fortunately, *Fallout 76* offers solutions to these issues. A new NPC, Jaye Vo, introduced in the "Leap of Faith" questline, provides disguises to help you navigate missions and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

Despite the drawbacks, the allure of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* is hard to resist. The unique abilities and perks make it an exciting opportunity. If you later decide to revert to your human form, you can do so via the Character screen, though you'll need to forgo completing the "Leap of Faith" questline. You can transform back into a Ghoul once the questline is complete, for a cost of 1,000 Atoms.

Armed with this information, you're ready to venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul identity. So, is becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* worth it? Absolutely, if you're eager to explore new gameplay mechanics and enjoy the unique advantages it offers.
