"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. A new questline, "Leap of Faith," offers this unique opportunity, but it's a decision that requires careful consideration. So, should you take the leap and become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*?

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To embrace your inner Ghoul, you must first reach level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once accepted, you'll journey to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through this transformation. The process is straightforward, but it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons before deciding.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Turning into a Ghoul grants you access to exciting new abilities like Feral and Glow. With the Feral ability, your meter begins at 100% and decreases over time, but you can replenish it 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 lets you heal from radiation damage. To benefit from it, simply engage in activities typically considered harmful, like consuming spoiled food or exploring irradiated areas.

Moreover, Ghouls can utilize new Perk cards alongside regular human ones, enhancing your gameplay. As a Ghoul, you're immune to diseases and don't need to worry about regular food while exploring.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

However, becoming a Ghoul isn't without its challenges. Accepting the "Leap of Faith" questline may strain your relationships with certain factions, potentially hindering your ability to complete quests. Additionally, your Charisma decreases, making social interactions less enjoyable.

Fortunately, *Fallout 76* offers a solution. Jaye Vo, an NPC introduced in the "Leap of Faith" questline, 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 advantages of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* are compelling. The new abilities and perks make it an opportunity too good to miss. If you later decide to return to your human form, you can do so via the Character screen, though you won't be able to complete the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once the questline is finished, you can transform back into a Ghoul for 1,000 Atoms.

Armed with this knowledge, it's time to venture into the Savage Divide and embrace your new Ghoul life.
