When he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

When he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Blood Sacri
Fallout 76 this is a ghoul version of a blood sacrifice build build
Consumables
Tank
Published
by@Tiller

This is my take on a Blood sacrifice build, but for ghouls as i have not seen any one youtube so here we are. have fun with it and remember you can never have enough stim packs. ps, I only used T-51 power armor because of the skins it has. If you want you can use any power armor as long as you keep the medic pump and legendary mods the build works exactly the same on all power armors.

Are you tired of running around in power armor? Do you wanna play a ghoul that uses guns? Are you worried about glow and feral management? Then I have THE build for you. If you wanna stand still and feel like you're being tickled by the badest monsters of the wasteland, only to turn around and say in a raspy cold ghoulish voice, "My turn." Then whip out that good ol'hunting rifle and western revolver, and make yourself a Howitzer Cannon on the go.
