Skier — briefing
Oi, come here, need to talk to you. Got a job for you, a dry one, if you ask me. My folks were looking for loot at night recently and ran into some hooded morons, and, well, shit went south. Naturally, my dudes managed to retreat in the end and even smoked some of those psychos, though we still lost around a dozen of ours. Eh, that's not the point. The guys found some kind of a dagger on one of those psychos, and apparently, some serious people are willing to pay a fortune for those. Anyway, I've got an order for those daggers. If you find any, bring'em here.

Tactical notes
WHEN TO GO: Cultists only come out AT NIGHT, roughly 23:00 to 06:00, and only after character level 20. They despawn by morning.
THE EASIEST SPOTS: by the power plant — climb the neighbouring hill and shoot down from over a hundred metres. On Customs the sarcophagus works well: good cover to play off.
WOODS IS A BAD CHOICE: open ground, bushes and trees make them very hard to shoot properly.
HOW THEY BEHAVE: they sit in bushes waiting for you to come close and open with the knife. Shoot first, or kill the Priest, and they start firing at once. Long range without thermals is pointless — with thermals their silhouettes show up clearly.
TWO REASONS THEY MAY BE ABSENT: another boss took their spawn, or it is simply the wrong night. If Cultists are in the raid there will be no Scavs at all — that is the sign you came on the right night.
On completion
Skier: Bloody hell... You got them all by yourself? You've got guts, that's for sure. Somethin' ain't right about those psychos, I'm tellin' you...
