The Cultist Circle in your hideout inEscape from Tarkovbrings a lot of flavor to its base-building aspect. It is one of the most useful “utility” hideout features that offers players a way to trade with the cult. Players in PvE mode got to test it out immediately since their progress isn’t wiped, and here’s what you can expect from the Cultist Circle in your hideout in Escape from Tarkov.
Escape from Tarkov Hideout Cultist Circle, Explained
The Cultist Circle is a hideout area that works similarly to the Scav Case mechanic. you’re able to sacrifice up to five items (which basically just means you are trading with the Cultists), and you’ll get an item of “equal” value. The word equal is used a bit loosely here because there are hidden parameters with regard to the value’s threshold on sacrificed items and how the value is calculated.
Battlestate Games always tries to be mysterious and let the players discover things on their own rather than giving them all the features outright. However, it is confirmed that reaching the “secret threshold” will give you a 25% chance to get something you need for your hideout or a quest. There is doubt because this is easily exploitable by making sure you have a task and your hideout that needs a LedX. Again, there should be more to it.
The Cultist Circle generally aims to help players finish tasks and upgrade their hideouts. Once a player is done with those, it is meant to act like a “Scav Case” feature where players can gamble their valuable or unwanted loot. Maybe you may even get a Red Keycard from it?
