To become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*, you need to be at least level 50 and accept the "Leap of Faith" quest. This quest takes you to the Savage Divide, where you'll meet characters who help you begin your transformation. It's a simple process, but the decision has significant pros and cons.

Pros of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Transforming grants access to new abilities: Feral and Glow. Feral, represented by a meter, starts at 100% and depletes over time, replenished by consuming chems. Here's the breakdown:

• 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.

Glow increases maximum health and allows healing from damage by engaging in normally harmful activities like consuming contaminated food and venturing into irradiated zones. Ghouls also gain access to unique Perk cards, supplementing the standard human ones, and are immune to diseases and the need for regular food.

Cons of Becoming a Ghoul in Fallout 76

Becoming a Ghoul isn't without drawbacks. The "Leap of Faith" questline may sour your relationships with certain factions, potentially hindering quest completion. The significant Charisma reduction also impacts dialogue options. However, *Fallout 76* offers a solution: Jaye Vo, a new NPC in the questline, provides disguises to mitigate these issues.

Despite the downsides, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. The new abilities and Perk cards are too enticing to ignore. Reverting to your human form is possible via the Character screen, though this prevents completing the "Leap of Faith" questline. You can become a Ghoul again later for 1,000 Atoms.

With this information, embark on your journey to the Savage Divide and unleash your inner Ghoul. This concludes our guide on whether you should become a Ghoul in *Fallout 76*. For more *Fallout 76* content, check out our article on whether the game is still worth playing.
