Fallout 76's 'Ghoul Within' Update Adds Playable Ghouls and New Mechanics

The update, inspired by the Fallout TV series, introduces unique perks, faction interactions, and a new questline but faces technical issues.

The 'Ghoul Within' update allows players to transform into Ghouls for the first time in Fallout history, unlocking 30 exclusive perks and unique gameplay mechanics.
Players must reach level 50 and complete the 'Leap of Faith' quest to undergo the transformation, which includes new character customization options.
Ghouls gain immunity to radiation, are buffed by it, and interact differently with NPCs and factions, including hostility from groups like the Brotherhood of Steel.
A game-breaking bug reported by some players disrupts the transformation quest, leading to calls for a fix from Bethesda.
The update, part of Season 20: 'Glow of the Ghoul,' has contributed to a slight increase in player engagement, continuing Fallout 76's post-launch evolution.
