Walton Goggins’ character, The Ghoul, is one of the breakout creations from Prime Video’s Fallout TV series. Now, The Ghoul is coming to Fallout 76 later this year as part of the Burning Springs expansion. While Burning Springs won’t officially launch until early December, a public test server for the expansion is going to be open on October 2.
Players won’t be able to control The Ghoul, but they can find him in Burning Springs, Ohio, where he operates out of a bar called The Last Resort. His function in the expansion is to give the players bounty hunter assignments. The grunt hunts are the lower-tier bounties that can be used to gain experience and the occasional legendary item. Tougher targets can be purchased in exchanged for caps. The most difficult assignments are the head hunts, which are “open to anyone in earshot.” Those are some of of the most difficult targets to handle, and players may need backup to bring them down.
Burning Springs is also introducing an important new character called the Rust King. He’s an intelligent super mutant who hasn’t lost his taste for violence and is described as “super threatening.” Players will work with the Rust King as they get acclimated to Burning Springs’ cutthroat environment. In the accompanying dev chat, the Fallout 76 team teased that the Rust King may have a role beyond this expansion.
