Ghoul Perks: All new Perk Cards for Ghouls
PTS Version: 13th March 2025 | Release: 18th March 2025
The new playable ghoul can currently be tested on the current PTS (Public Test Server). You can become a ghoul yourself. This not only brings visual changes, but also new abilities and the "Feral Meter", which represents your "glow" above 100% health. Of course, there are also numerous new perk cards and 2 new legendary perks. These ghoul perks often work with the "glow" and help to strengthen related effects. Most of the old perks can also be used together with the ghoul perks. Only some that have to do with hunger and thirst, for example, cannot be used because the ghoul is not hungry or thirsty.
Glow & High Glow
"High Glow" means a value of 180 or more. The glow is your Ghoul Shield, which reflects your hit point bar and is increased by radiation intake. So, if you have 240 HP and your Glow bar is 75% or more full, your value is above or equal to 180 and you have "high glow." Of course, if you have more HP, this percentage will decrease.
