Ghoulish Gunslinger
Fallout 76
Gunslinger Ghoul Tanky
build
by titaniumcoder
Published · Updated

My current ghoulish gunslinger build that I intend to play after the last update. Nothing fancy, most gear should be fine to reach, with maybe lucid star being difficult. weapons are event or quest reward. i do my quests on 50 to receive maxlevel rewards normally.

Tried this build? Add a badge for what it does best, or agree with one that's already there.
