Characteristics[]
Death is one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, along with War, Famine, and Pestilence. Death is capable of instantly killing any undead that it collides with by causing their heads to explode. There is a ghostly trail of wind following Death. Death is almost invincible and cannot be killed from conventional damage, other than a fall of great height, a shot to the head, drowning, shot several times by a Gatling gun which makes Death randomly die later on, or using an explosive rifle causing him to explode into pieces. Horse pills negate Death's unlimited Stamina.
Locations[]
Before finishing the Undead Nightmare storyline, Death can be found in the wild. Death's location is entirely random, but is similarly located to the general areas that the other three Horses of the Apocalypse can be found. When near, a notice will come up saying "a mythical creature has appeared in the area". Death will only randomly appear after taming the other three Horses of the Apocalypse prior.
New Austin (West to East)
- Just south of Gaptooth Breach.
- Directly south of Rathskeller Fork.

- Around Plainview.
- Around Mercer Station.
- West of Fort Mercer, South-East of Repentance Rock.
- Southeast of Fort Mercer.
- Between Two Crows and Armadillo.
- Directly east of Armadillo.
- On some occasions Death can be found around Coot's Chapel.
- On occasion, Death has been seen near MacFarlane's Ranch in the Hennigan's Stead area.
- Death can be found in Greenhollow directly across the river from El Presidio.
- South of Thieves' Landing and north of The Old Bacchus Place.
Nuevo Paraíso (West to East)

West Elizabeth (West to East)

- Northwest of Tall Trees and South of Nekoti Rock.

Upon completing the Undead Nightmare storyline, the player will receive Death.
Even though the horses spawn points seem random they are indeed not random at all. Since this is a 360 game there are only so many spawn points for the four horses. They spawn at specific locations at specific times. A great example of this is one of Death's spawn points just a little southwest of Las Hermanas in which he will likely not spawn until Sunday at six thirty three, if you just stand there and wait until six thirty on Sunday the circle can appear and he might have spawned there. Death can also spawn in the Great Plains around 6 am - 8am depending on the circumstances in which the player has found all three other horses (War, Famine and Pestilence) and how long the player has gone without finding Death.
Trivia[]
- Death's appearance in-game is different than the Biblical version; Death in-game has blue eyes, as well as a dark brown colored front and a lighter off white hindquarters and mane. The Biblical horse ridden by Death, however, was a completely white horse.
- Death's ability to explode heads does not apply to harmless animals.
- The player must get Death and kill the Chupacabra (Undead Hunter Challenge - Rank 5) in order to find the Unicorn and complete the Undead Hunter challenge.
- An easy way to get rank five of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse challenge is to charge into Jorge's Gap while riding Death. However, it has been noted that this may sometimes cause the game to become unstable while killing so many undead so fast.
- Upon receiving or breaking Death, you will receive his Blood Pact, which acts like a horse deed.
- It is possible to obtain two Death Blood Pacts. Simply complete the Four Horses of the Apocalypse challenge before you complete On a Pale Horse.
- There is a glitch that when you feed a horse with infinite stamina Horse Pills they will begin to lose stamina like a regular horse after a short time.
- Killing undead with Death will count towards pistol kills, meaning you can get the achievement In a Hail of Bullets with Death.
- It is recommended to not use Death for Undead Hunter Rank 4 because if you run into the animals, they will die and won't count as a Torch kill.
- If you are going slow enough while ramming into an undead with Death, you will only knock over the undead and not kill it.
- Death's head looks similar to the War Horse because of the black fur and similar mane.
- Death will sometimes randomly die even when not being physically harmed; players have dubbed this "heart attacks".
- Sometimes, Death's ghostly trail will disappear, leaving only a cloud of fog around him.
