Kill Tarkov's Cultists Easily - Spawns, Looting & Killing Guide - Escape From Tarkov

Have you fought these sneaky boys before? Got a video idea you think I should make? Contact me: voxe.com.au

[@potato1499]

First and only time I "found one" was while I did the kill 3 scavs on woods quest without healing. Did it during the night and was sneaking to an extract. Suddenly got stabbed and it scared the fuck out of me and I started shooting around me. Never saw the guy and I died to the poison later. Sneaky asshole.

[@Ibrahimarm]

They attack player scavs and I ended up dying when I met them at checkpoint on Woods... Not sure why considering they don't attack regular scavs.

The spawn zones are a bit inaccurate/too small. They can spawn at scope shack on woods and also near the swamp church on shoreline.

[@giannivandenbosch7864]

i been farming em for tens of hours, reap IR (with headace colouring) is the easiest thermal to use and go to shoreline. use a dead silent weapon as fights can take up to 20 minutes and take A LOT OF M61 with you, i'd say 4 stacks and a 20 rounder in ur weapon and 1 extra mag in ur rig. Check at spine via the hill beneith west wing, you'll spot them if you use the dark=hot/white=cold setting on the reapr to check at sunken village sit on a rock cliff at 120 metres and check bushes. you'll see em if you know what to look for, and again the white=cold/black=hot. great position to reposition to is ontop of some of the houses, they wont shoot and allows you to look in spots you couldnt see before. After taking out atleast 4/5 push closer with nvg's on then just keep moving and stay out of open fields. If you die its no problem as insurance always gets returned so dont forget to insure and use lvl 6 armour as that will 100% safe you fighting cultist.

I tried out FLIR thermal and it actually worked decently well - they weren't red but they were still slightly whiter then surroundings, so it was much easier to spot them... so I wiped 5 + 1 cultists in north of swamp, I was shooting them from hill with power line tower. Some of them were hiding behind tree prone, and some sitting around rock with crates. Very fun activity :D

I run a lot of nighttime shoreline scav and I routinely passed their area in one of my most common routes, maybe ran into them once out of 100 times.

Well The real scary thing about them, Is having them whisper to you from the darkness. And the best way to survive a Surprise stabbing is to just let it happen, and not shot back. Since most of the time they get the stab in before you can really drop them. And the Prick Priest loves to try and suicided with a Grenade. And even if you don't shot any damage done to them while near them causes them to start firing.. Priest hurt himself with a grenade and caused them to mow me down. Flir is alot easier for me to see them then the reap-IR, and The Vudu scope even thou it has a bright reticle works really well with Night V.
