After years of battling Ghouls in *Fallout 76*, players now have a unique opportunity to experience life from the other side. A new questline called "Leap of Faith" allows players to transform into Ghouls, but it's a decision that comes with significant implications. So, is becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* the right move for you?

How to Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76

To embrace your inner Ghoul, you must reach at least level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" questline. Once you're on board, you'll head to the Savage Divide to meet characters who will guide you through your transformation. It's a straightforward process, but it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons before taking the plunge.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Transforming into a Ghoul unlocks exciting new abilities, such as Feral and Glow. With the Feral ability, your meter 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 increases your maximum health and allows you to heal from damage taken by indulging in typically harmful activities like eating bad food and exploring irradiated areas.

Ghouls also gain access to new Perk cards, which can be used alongside human Perk cards, providing a significant advantage. Additionally, Ghouls are 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 relations with certain factions, complicating quest completion. Additionally, your Charisma will take a hit, making conversations less engaging.

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

Should You Become a Ghoul in Fallout 76?

Despite the drawbacks, the benefits of becoming a Ghoul in *Fallout 76* are too compelling to ignore. The new abilities and Perk cards offer a fresh and exciting gameplay experience. If you later decide to revert to your human form, you can do so from the Character screen, though you'll need to wait until the "Leap of Faith" questline is complete. Reverting back to a Ghoul will cost 1,000 Atoms.

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

So, should you become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*? The choice is yours, but the game's rich features make it an enticing option. If you're curious about more, check out whether *Fallout 76* is still worth playing.
