==Cultist Separatists==

Don't dismiss these fanatical [[Marauder]] separatists as insane lunatics. Cultists are very capable fighters, usually armed with [[Assault Rifle (RFA)|Assault Rifles]]. Although dedicated to their cause, don't expect them to charge at you in a suicidal rage. Instead, cultists prefer to attack from range, often using cover, and even retreating when facing heavy fire. In any case, always attack cultists aggressively to whittle away at their numbers - they always attack or defend in tightly organised squads. Weapons like the [[Assault Rifle (RFA)|Assault Rifle]], [[Nano Rifle (RFA)|Nano Rifle]], and the [[Rail Driver (RFA)|Rail Driver]] are all very effective against them. To score quick kills, always aim for the head. If you encounter cultists in close quarters, melee strikes or weapons like the [[Maul]] or [[Shotugn (RFA)|Shotgun]] are even more effective.

==Cultist Officers==

Cultists officers are deployed with some squads, usually at critical defensive locations. Unlike their subordinates, officers never back down from a fight. Even when facing certain death, officers hold their ground, and may even go on the counter attack. Armed with a mix of [[Rocket Launcher (RFA)|Rocket Launchers]] and Grenade Launchers, officers can also dish out some serious damage, so be ready to dive out of the way of their incoming projectiles. Although they carry around significantly more firepower than their men, officers aren't tougher to kill. Even so, consider using heavy weapons to take them down fast. Weapons like the [[Plasma Cannon]] and the [[Rocket Launcher (RFA)|Rocket Launcher]] are very effective, killing officers with a single hit. It may seem like overkill, but one shot from these weapons is a small price to pay to halt an officer's constant bombardment.
