Fallout 76 PTS - Playable Ghoul First Impressions

[@nukacolanut6095]

I honestly believe you are the best FO76 YT reviewer. You're in-depth, explain scenarios well, and show comparative data. Thank you for all you do!

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Yes, you still get food buffs, but just the stats. There's just no well-fed or well-hydrated bonuses.

[@silentpsycho372]

That's weird since over eaters still works as a ghoul

[@BasedHoliday]

@@silentpsycho372probably an oversight, but it’s probably not going to work with ghouls once it’s live.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@silentpsycho372 that's a bug. As far as the stats go tho, locking those out would completely negate the need for food. As a ghoul, you don't need to eat or drink, but the buffs still give you a reason to.

[@andyhelms21]

@@silentpsycho372 ghouls don’t eat or drink so it won’t work live.

[@pz7510]

happy to hear pistols are doing better, I have a lot of fondness for pistol/guerilla builds

[@well_as_an_expert_id_say]

Merry Christmas!

[@wiggle_plays]

Merry Christmas!

[@allynpinnello3012]

Merry Christmas Wiggle! Great breakdown! Might just start a total new character for this ghoul thing...

[@Aereosato]

gun slinger ghoul looks like a good fit for my energy gun slinger I have already. Thanks for the vod. Happy Christmas

[@wiggle_plays]

It's really good. I'm definitely switching my gunslinger to ghoul when this update hits.

[@lunarhexagon8108]

well, I just hope ghoul/human legendary effects will work properly on each player and that you could see who is or isnt ghoul in team, maybe by having that green frame on health bar also there, since this thing is genuinely relevant for that ghoul team card, and unlike mutations (as far I know, pretty much everyone in mid/late game has at least some), I am sure not everyone will be ghoul and so it cant be just guessed by level, and sure, you can just check if your carry weight got increased but still

[@bdavies3633]

The auto reload is bugged right now, with weapons that are single shot or single load you have to have quad on them for it to work. Merry Christmas!!

[@gundam-srwx7674]

The rise of junkie builds

[@realityaskew]

I loved playing ghoul. Can't wait to have this come to live.

[@Elbinac]

With the reduced recoil, vats accuracy and range and all, feels like railway is the way.

[@DarthMalicius]

Kind of curious how less ferral will go with comando?

[@wiggle_plays]

It won't. If you are feral, forget about using guns because you won't be able to hit anything.

[@willblake72]

Well now I'm glad I didn't scrap all the good scout armor I had accumulated over the years, although I guess Thorn or Covert will be meta? Cool stuff, I can't wait for this update. Pipe gun guy and my OG melee character will be so glowing 😂 Happy holidays, Wiggle

[@wiggle_plays]

Merry Christmas!

[@LeSwaw]

Auto axe will be even more powerful and Chinese stealth armour will be useless since it gives 1000 rad res

[@PROCHIMNEY]

Not useless just would take those two perks to use it and extra gamma rounds

[@kenya4lifeabbz]

Bro I love your videos. I got one question where do I get the outfit your wearing?

[@wiggle_plays]

Ranger Armor Outfit. It's a Fallout 1st item.

[@kenya4lifeabbz]

@wiggle_plays thanks bro n have a good one

[@RoKenX2]

carry 2-3 SA pistols switching to your pistol is faster than reloading... even if its another pistol.... =p

[@NotYourTypicalGamer1]

Any idea if that +200% melee buff works with auto melee weapons?

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

It doenst

[@Tanchicomarkas]

@@OnlineHipHopTV Yes it does. I am using an auto axe and when I hit full feral, my damage shot up.

[@OnlineHipHopTV]

@@Tanchicomarkas Yes but not by 200%

[@hyperionlink]

Stack that with Radioactive Strength and a shredding minigun. The Shredder benefits from the bash damage boost without draining glow because it's not an actual bash action

[@lynwoodm632]

Thanks for the informative video! What outfit is your character wearing?

[@wiggle_plays]

Ranger Armor Outfit

[@Sotales07]

Only question I have is how early can you go ghoul on a new character? Level wise and quest wise.

[@wiggle_plays]

Ghoul quest becomes available at level 50.

[@Hiroshithelion]

Have you tried the assaultron head with the ghoul?

[@Lordoftheapes79]

5:42 Ghoulish should be hyphenated now. Ghoul-ish.

[@kurthimmen4578]

I was not interested in playing a ghoul until this video. TY!

[@sephirothdoug]

I will not be a ghoul, but I am very excited about this update, to finally use a pistol, and guerrilla perk card will buff my main build, shotguns, so I am in for this updade ❤️

[@beastabuelos6421]

No over eaters makes me not want to be a ghoul. No other good first star effects. So many bad decisions with the ghoul so far. Really hope we see some massive changes

[@Maruchannnnnnn]

Vanguards, Aristocrat, weightless, and maybe auto stim will be worth considering. It's not like youll really need the extra tankiness from overeaters considering you get whats essentially a whole other health bar on top of your normal one. Me personally I'll probably go 4 vanguards 1 auto stim so I can take off my 1 rank of born survivor in agility.

[@andrewbrock3675]

I'm going to assume overeaters and food buffs will and are supposed to work. They're going hard I to the show. And ass jersey don't make itself. Ghouls eat lol. Is there a dev note in discord or patchnote that says OE won't work in live?

[@wiggle_plays]

Yep. Has already been a dev comment in discord that overeater's should not be working for ghouls.

[@andrewbrock3675]

@wiggle_plays well damn. Oh well.

[@dredgenYor1997]

Is there a list of all the perk cards that are locked while being a ghoul?

[@loganedwards5701]

I want them to make a difficulty tier when you make/ join a game. We need harder content around the entire game not just raids

[@FreakingNinja19]

How will a commando goul run? Or will goul only be good for pistols?

[@686Impulse686]

The part about OE not working for Ghoul's is a big letdown for me. I was banking on using that for my Ghoul character, but now I don't know how I feel about making a Ghoul let alone what to use as a first star on my armour. Would using no armour be viable for a Ghoul character?

[@harrygraham5810]

Ghouls are melee masters, and rad kings. Melee is my build so im sorted already tested it ready for launch now with lvls

[@TattleDelta]

If you never ever do anything even remotely related to doing quests, being a ghoul is fine.

[@theslayer4050]

8:38 wiki says max rank is 30% 8:56 also, you can't get addicted to chems, its a pts bug

[@se7enclouds]

Im thinking regenerating solar armor for infinite health regen, then keep things to pump rads to keep your glow meter up. Wonder how the health regen will react to the glow meter. I imagine it wont but bugthesda lets a ton of things slide

[@hyperionlink]

Sorry to say it doesn't work. Tested it myself. It would be cool if they swapped health Regen for passive rad generation for ghoul characters.

[@CasLok88]

So the assaultron head will finally get some gameplay... As it's a pain to use due to radiation damage to all parties.

[@andreahempsted6067]

Does overeater work for the ghouls

[@n0pfy1]

Glowing One perk seems like one of those things that will be annoying, I’ll just assume they will get it fixed or you might as well have the plague……

[@Poke-ladd]

I swear that perk which auto reloads never works Ive tried each level for like an hour, it never triggered

[@Elbinac]

Question, perk sharing do what!?

[@wiggle_plays]

My understanding is that sharing perks that are locked to other players will do nothing. Otherwise, it should function the same as it does now.

[@Elbinac]

@@wiggle_plays Ah, So no funny business of sharing a ghoul locked perk so that the human gives you the benefit from the other side.

[@Elbinac]

TBH though, sharing otherwise unusable perks would possibly give that feature more merit.

[@charlesblatchley]

can you change back from being a ghoul?

[@lunarhexagon8108]

at moment there should be option in menu to toggle and return back to human but you cant go again to be ghoul then, which I would will change since this game changes what is worth and good by each update

[@idek1012]

Tbh if there is many downsides on being a ghoul fuck it im still going to be a ghoul

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

"This is really what you want for a melee character" No Wiggle. No it isn't. I want the first one. Why it takes from endurance and hit points for MELEE is just stupid. Take my perception, charisma and luck...which would make TOTAL SENSE since ferals aren't hard to hide from and they... are not charmers. Melee needs hit points just as much as it needs damage. Go fight a glowing one and tell me if you think he had higher endurance or charisma. This is what I'm saying.

[@last_dutch_hero258]

"me looking at my unarmed bloodied stealth build character" "Looking at all the Unyielding gear i grinded" "Me looking at the possible damage output i can gain from becomming a Ghoul" IT'S TIME, TO GO EVEN. FURTHER. BEYOND!

[@Golden_void1288]

So, heavy Gunner isn't good for ghoul's?

[@Lotiondemhands]

If u are a ranged player stay as human the devs made ghouls for melee players

[@dctcorey20]

Action Diet, the Legendary Card, heals the player (either by kill or by hit on enemy) and prevents you from going feral as well. It's a great perk for ranged players!

[@defunctpunk]

I still don’t understand why bloodied armor/weapons wouldn’t work with a ghoul. Are they going to have their own class of legendary for ghouls?

[@JohnDoe-ip8yu]

I’d just go Vanguards as it’s the only one you really benefit from as Ghouls are full health builds. Though an OE equivalent for ghouls would be swell for damage reduction.

[@lunarhexagon8108]

you cant cap health at limited value, so despite "bloodied" builds would work for them same as humans, they would be likely extremely hard to manage in desired values, also ghouls have multiple cards those work only by having glow meter which you cant have till you got fully healed, it is basically like overheal they seem to be made in way to exclude "bloodied" builds as option, I assume since it is meta, and since it is meta for everything, not only combat and most ghoul abilities seem to benefit only for combat and surviving in rads, I doubt many people will actually commit to ghoul with main character or whatever they use to grind season in a week, since all XP farming guides start with "get "bloodied" gear and go to westek", losing 10 charisma also isnt small thing I guess, but now I am not sure if that "disguise" negates also that or if those work solely to unlock quests blocked for ghouls, havent seen anyone reviewing "disguise" thing yet so I dont even know if it is there already or not

[@BasedHoliday]

Ghouls are meant to be the counter to bloody builds. Essentially using the full potential of full health builds.

[@RealisticRobot]

If they remove food buffs then they need to massively buff the effects and durations of chems for ghouls specifically.

[@TouKongHang]

I’m probably going to get flamed on but the ghoul sounds good on paper but bad on execution.

[@QueenLiliTheRed]

Fallout 76 players happy to play as ghoul, meanwhile Frank Horrigan laughs in super mutant in his X01 custom power armour with all his special stats maxed to 10 "how cute "

[@Lotiondemhands]

I hope this can rival bloodied hate everyone using bloody melee needs love

[@brandonbiochucky3116]

yeah no im sticking with my character i aint losing my power armo

[@hyperionlink]

Why abandon your PA? You can still top off rads with some Toxic Goo. Integrate that shit.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

4th comment. The western revolver will be more popular. More damage than the single action (with tne changes) and faster reload. That whips the single action. I could have waited and one big comment... Oh well. Comments are good.

[@wiggle_plays]

After the adjustment single action hits harder than western.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

@@wiggle_plays Yeah. I thought that was wrong while typing it but everything else about the weapon is spot on so I just left it and accepted that like all people... I am not perfnect.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

3rd comment. High glow is about 60%. So 20% of the time that you have a very high glow that perk is good. Otherwise it's taking up valuable realestate.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

2nd comment... Ghoulish WOULD help you since my full health What Rads? melee build got more healing form rads than a ghoul character. That's broken and stupid.
