To become a Ghoul, you need to be at least level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" quest. This leads you to the Savage Divide, where you'll meet characters guiding your transformation. While the process is simple, the pros and cons of becoming a Ghoul are significant.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Embrace the ghoul life and gain access to powerful new abilities: Feral and Glow. Feral, represented by a meter, grants various buffs and debuffs depending on its level:

• 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.

Glow enhances your maximum health and allows healing from damage by engaging in typically harmful activities like consuming contaminated food and venturing into irradiated zones.

Ghouls also unlock a suite of new Perk cards, adding to existing options. Plus, say goodbye to diseases and the need for regular food!

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

The "Leap of Faith" questline does have downsides. Some factions will become hostile, potentially hindering quest completion. The significant Charisma reduction impacts dialogue and social interactions.

However, Fallout 76 provides a solution. Jaye Vo, an NPC within the questline, offers disguises to mitigate these issues, allowing you to continue missions without unnecessary conflict.

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

Despite the drawbacks, the benefits of becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76 are compelling. The new abilities and Perk cards offer significant advantages. Should you change your mind, reverting to your human form is possible through the Character screen (though this prevents completing the "Leap of Faith" questline). Re-transformation costs 1,000 Atoms.

Venture into the Savage Divide and unleash your inner Ghoul! This decision adds a new dimension to your Fallout 76 experience.
