In the vast world of Fallout 76, the enigmatic Cultists are known as the Followers of the Winged One Cult. These adversaries exhibit aggressive behavior and employ cunning combat tactics, often resorting to close combat and stealth assaults. For many players, confronting and defeating Cultists becomes essential when faced with a Weekly Challenge mandating their elimination. Moreover, engaging with these unique foes adds an extra layer of excitement to the Appalachian exploration. This guide sheds light on the optimal locations to encounter Cultists and highlights their spawning grounds in the latest game update.

Locating Cultists

Among the prime spots to find Cultists are Point Pleasant and Lucky Hole Mines. At Point Pleasant, scour the area near the Mothman Museum, while in Lucky Hole Mines, explore the subterranean passages. By clearing these sites, you can encounter and farm approximately ten to fifteen Cultists.

Reliable Cultist Spawning Sites

• Point Pleasant: The Mothman Church teems with numerous Cultists. The most effective method for encountering members of The Winged One Cult is to hop between servers and clear this area.
• Lucky Hole Mines: Cultists patrol both inside and around the mine. However, locating and engaging with all foes here might be time-consuming. The extensive underground area hosts scattered Cultists in various locations.
• Kanawha Church in the Kanawha Country Cemetery: A cluster of Cultists frequently roams this region. Sneak up on them easily as they are limited in number.
• Clancy Manor: Since the Wastelanders update, a Cultist Camp has been established here. The stronghold can house over twenty enemies.

Events Triggering Cultist Appearances

Participate in The Mothman Equinox event to face off against Cultists, the primary antagonists. During this seasonal quest, Point Pleasant is overrun by Cultists and their High Priests, challenging you to eliminate them all within ten minutes. Your mission involves vanquishing six Cultist Prophets and demolishing their totems to complete the task.

In addition, a Weekly Challenge in Fallout 76 demands the eradication of 30 Cultists. While this quest doesn't impact Cultist spawn rates, you must still track them down at their spawning locations.

Securing the Cultist Outfit

Acquire the revered Cultist Outfit and Helmet (Adept Robe and Adept Hood) by participating in the Mothman Equinox event. You can either unlock the blueprints for the outfits and craft them or scavenge individual pieces to assemble the attire.
