"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 their perspective with a new questline. But the question remains: should you take the plunge and become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*?

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To transform into a Ghoul, you need to be at least level 50 and embark on the "Leap of Faith" questline. This journey will lead you to the Savage Divide, where you'll meet characters pivotal to your transformation. The process is straightforward, but consider the pros and cons before making your decision.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

As a Ghoul, you unlock unique abilities like Feral and Glow. The Feral meter, starting at 100%, decreases over time but can be replenished with Chems. Here’s what the Feral meter offers:

• 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 radiation damage, encouraging you to explore irradiated environments and consume questionable food.

Additionally, Ghouls gain access to exclusive Perk cards, which can be used alongside human Perk cards, enhancing your gameplay. You also become immune to diseases and no longer need regular food.

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 alienate you from certain factions, complicating your quest completions. Furthermore, your Charisma decreases, making social interactions less enjoyable.

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

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

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

Armed with this knowledge, venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul life.
