For too long, Walton Goggins has been out in the Hollywood hills living my dream: wandering the wasteland as a rotting, irradiated zombie with a beer in one hand and a shotgun in the other. That finally ends today thanks to Fallout 76\u2019s new Ghoul Within update, which adds a whole host of ghoul-related features and rewards.<\/p>\n

The headlining feature is, as you might guess, ghoulification: a new questline will allow players to become a feral ghoul for the first time in the series\u2019 history, though you\u2019ll want to subdue any urges to devour your fellow vault dweller with a cocktail of consumable drugs. The bright side is you\u2019ll be immune to disease and mutations, and in fact, radiation will give you increased max health and interact with your new ghoul perks (which the patch notes<\/a> call gherks).<\/p>\n

They are pretty intense from the sounds of it, allowing players to instantly reload their empty magazines, sprint 20% faster, and absorb triple the radiation from food and water; it\u2019s good now, remember? A “Feral” meter replaces the old hunger and thirst stats and grants buffs if you keep it filled, but there’s actually a fun reason to let it drop to 0%:<\/p>\n
