Sorry for the Delay, I continue to have issues getting Cultists online AND offline raids (as evident by not being able to show an example on each map). Hope you guys find this guide helpful and a link to my Discord is below if you wanted to join our community! discord.com/invite/JZSdDX5ZqS
@@crispy9175 yeah man… pretty wild task line to be honest, I thought it was kinda cool to kill 3 cultists then read it was with a double barrel and I laughed out loud.
A few additions: 1. Cultists now spawn on Woods in a third area: the Attachment Cabin. 2. Customs has the best efficiency because it's the smallest, however, you will also get Goons at near 40% of every raid, which makes it much more difficult.
I've had cultists spawn on Factory Night at the same time as Tagilla and Scavs without an event happening. My pals and I killed Tagilla and a bunch of scavs and I spotted one weird "scav" just crouching by blue dumpsters by the silo and I was like "WTF is this freak ass scav looking at me for" and I dome-pieced it and continued about the raid. When I saw "sektant" in the end raid screen my pals and I flipped. I want to mention that Factory Night in PVP is my group's MAIN map, so we've fought cultists there enough times, but NEVER BEFORE with normal AI scavs and Tagilla spawning there WITH them.
yeah dope info. I thought I'd say they some times whisper at you when your close to them, like you say sometimes they just are passive. if you get close to them when they are passive they will whisper at you then eventually attack you if you just stand there
What’s crazy is the beginning of this wipe me and my buddy were doing the night time factory planting task and we spawned in the shit spawn between glass hallway and the other side. And one came from behind the boxes down glass hallway and stabbed me and I thought it was a pmc trying to roleplay as a cultist until my buddy pointed out it was found in raid haha. Only time I seen them this wipe and as a solo player I mainly ran night time raids to get tasks done
Outstanding video, as always. I watched your video of the first stream back from vacation and when you pushed the dude in fortress at customs who was talkin all that smack, I lost it laughing. He was so salty he came into the chat and tried taking personal shots. Made my morning. Appreciate all the solid videos.
@@Lukenukem67 yeah he was super mad lol. I mean get info and push in to challenge but yet I am the rat when I went to him lol. He is absolutely a mover but can’t handle dying at all. Then telling me I have no hair… lol no shit… I had just shaved it that morning lol
One thing I forgot to mention in your previous cultist video, the cultist fighter that rushed me can't be heard as you say but you'll hear his knife pull out as he come closer, also he wear lv4 CQB face mask that took 10 straight bt 5.45 and didn't die
not sure if it's just on pve or not, but cultist can spawn over near the new gas station, in the field area on customs. have fought them there a few times.
@@dannycorcoran3864 I used to wing the videos man but yes for these long videos I do up a script to make sure that I do not forget anything and so that the format makes sense for you guys!
Can you tell me more about how they behave now? Because I tried hunting them on a PVE server (shoreline), I found them 2 times next to swamp and they were really passive. They didn't push and were just sitting somewhere and shotting while I was peeking. It was impossible to kill them there - thermals are worse against them than NVGs or flashlights, and even with NVGs you just can't see them. I ask because I remember hunting them before (and killing them in events, etc.) - they were really aggressive and were pushing my position, flanking, etc. On open spot like this you just can't win if you will try to move first - otherwise they just destroy you.
@@infinityd8448 it’s hard to know how they will behave raid by raid. I have killed the priest and they aggro immediately but also have had them hit the deck and continue to lay prone afterwards and just laser me from bushes. It’s going to be a case by case basis. It really depends on your spawn and position when you run into them. As I mention the 2 best locations are customs (stronghold or mechanic repair shop) or the shoreline health resort. I agree the quad nods are by far the best option however in the Thermal comparison image I mention the Zeus thermal on the specific mode is actually viable and can help you to see them. But I agree if you move first or try to peak too long to locate them you will die which is really corny. I hate their AI and feel it needs a tweak honestly
@@consolecontempt9524 if you see them then if you kill one then they will aggro you, or even if you shoot one or get too close to them. But it’s hit and miss in terms of if they continue to be passive but are aggro’d or if they actually push you
I’ve ran into a cultist one time on night factory. I didn’t even know it was dark I had no gun light or anything. It’s my first wipe and I wasn’t even a month in. He stabbed me to death. I didn’t know what was going on
Lmaooooo my first time was doing ref task on customs first wipe also I just finished dropping the poster run outside head tap a scav hid to load ammo and I just hear footsteps lol turn around and he’s in my face sks pp smoked him in like 2-3 rounds took his knife and cqcm and dipped
cultists on PVE seem to not despawn after 7 i have met them about 7:30 on timer freak ass was shooting nsv from skeleton on customs priest was already dead on ruaf roadblock and 2 of them camping near crack house
@@manuel7738 like I mention at section about the sacred amulet once you shoot one cultist and the amulet breaks they all become aggro to you and basically lock on. They are unpredictable in that sometimes they will become aggressive and push or if you kill one they will usually prone out and lock onto you and shoot you from cover with pin point accuracy. So I would like to say “they always act this way” but they don’t… their AI is unpredictable
I have this weird issue in PvE, where I've gone night time probably around 30 raids now, where I have 0 cultist, but like 25 boss spawns. And most of the time it's the goons. I am really hoping for a cultist event very soon.
@@ukultur9237 it’s getting close to the time they typically start dropping constant boss and cultist 100% spawn rate events! And I have been hearing the goons are very frequent on customs on PVE
I keep seeing you fighting the cultists in the background on shoreline but your in-between power and cottages on the mountain is there a new spawn for them there or do they now roam around?
