This is mostly Tiller's build, with some minor tweaks to help manage carry weight.

Blood Sacri
Fallout 76 this is a ghoul version of a blood sacrifice build build
Consumables

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.

This is a Heavy Gunner/V.A.T.S build. Full Health, meant to be tankyโ€”no Power Armor; using evades

โ€”.50 Cal/Guass for tougher enemies, Gatling for 1-tapping smaller, more abundant enemies

โ€”SWITCH OUT Guerrilla Master for Gunslinger Master if using .50 cal/Guass and vise versa; SWITCH OUT Adrenaline for Gunslinger Expert when doing 1 big enemy; SWITCH OUT for center mas. for EN06

โ€”This build optimized for weight management/XP too: Curator for the Leaders

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.
