Scorched

The Scorched is a faction of intelligent ghouls in Fallout 76. They are described as being halfway between feral and sane, and have the ability to use weapons, rather than charge and claw.

Background
The Scorched mostly consist of former West Virginia residents and military personnel who banded together into small primitive groups before regressing. Like the Marked men of the Divide, they cling to what few pieces of clothing and equipment of their former lives, as reminders of their former selves, ranging from overalls and pitchforks to back-pack radios and assault rifles.

Appearances
The Scorched appear only in Fallout 76.
