Is Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76 Worth It?

In *Fallout 76*, players now have the thrilling opportunity to experience life from the other side by turning into a Ghoul. This new questline, "Leap of Faith," is accessible to players who have reached at least level 50. But the big question remains: should you take the leap and become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*?

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To embark on this transformation, head to the Savage Divide after accepting the "Leap of Faith" questline. There, you'll meet characters who will guide you through the process of becoming a Ghoul. While it's a straightforward journey, it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons before making your decision.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Embracing your inner Ghoul comes with a host of new abilities, such as Feral and Glow. The Feral ability starts at 100% and decreases over time, but you can replenish it by consuming 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 damage by indulging in typically harmful activities like eating bad food and exploring irradiated areas. Additionally, Ghouls gain access to unique Perk cards that complement standard human Perk cards, offering significant gameplay enhancements. Plus, you won't have to worry about diseases or regular food intake while exploring.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, life as a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. Engaging in the "Leap of Faith" questline may strain your relationships with certain factions, potentially blocking quest progression. Additionally, your Charisma will take a hit, making social interactions less enjoyable.

Fortunately, *Fallout 76* offers a solution through Jaye Vo, a new NPC in the "Leap of Faith" questline, who provides disguises to help you navigate these issues and continue your missions without unnecessary conflict.

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 Perk cards make it an enticing choice. If you later decide to revert to your human form, you can do so via the Character screen, though this means you won't be able to complete the "Leap of Faith" questline. However, you can transform back into a Ghoul post-questline for 1,000 Atoms.

With all this in mind, it's time to venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul form to unleash havoc in the wasteland.
