Location:
The Cultists are a rare spawn that appear only at night on Woods, Shoreline, and Customs. They typically spawn in specific, secluded areas (e.g., Woods: ritual site, Shoreline: swamp village, Customs: old gas station/construction).
Loadout:
Cultists are lightly armored but carry poisoned melee weapons (knives) and suppressed weapons (often MP5s or AKs). Their unique threat is their poison, which deals damage over time and blurs your vision. They are stealthy and will try to ambush you.
Strategy:
- Night Raids: They only spawn at night. Bring night vision or a powerful flashlight.
- Stealth Detection: Listen carefully for their unique whispers. They are very quiet.
- Headshots: Due to their light armor, headshots are highly effective.
- Antidote: Always bring an 'Augmented reality' (AR) stim or a 'Poxeram' antidote if you plan to hunt them. If poisoned, use it immediately.
- Loot: Cultists drop their unique knives (valuable for barters), suppressed weapons, and often valuable quest items or rare loot.
Cultists are a unique and terrifying encounter. Be prepared for a stealthy, high-stakes fight. Avoid melee combat at all costs.
