In the Fallout canon, ghouls are humans who have been mutated by the radiation of the nuclear wasteland. Some of them go feral, and serve as bullet fodder for the game’s protagonist, but many are just normal folks trying to get by. Sure, they’re hugely pockmarked, scarred, burned, and twisted — but they can make for good neighbors and allies.

Incredibly, Season 20 of continued support for Fallout 76 on PS4 went live today. In a first for Bethesda's storied franchise, players will be able to shrug off some of that necessary skin to become rad-loving Ghouls if they wish. After undergoing "Ghoulification", players will need to make some adjustments to how they play.

The latest update for Fallout 76 is here and brings Season 20, the Ghoul Within to the Wasteland, allowing players to become a Ghoul.
