Dear all,
is there like a chronology of events and if some steps are not made then some are not appearing?
Your really at the mercy of RNG and whatever it feels like giving you. You'll have to wait for a cult forward mission to pop.
Cult missions typically go something like this:
Cults Missions:There are four main types of cult missions. Each mission category progresses (becomes more difficult) with time and each mission category contains more important members that need to be captured and interrogated.
Mission types:
Cult Apprehensions:These are the easiest. This is one cult member wandering around town looking to cause some good, honest mayhem. Capture him alive if possible. That will lead to valuable research after interrogation (research) is complete.
Cult Safehouses:These are a bit more difficult. Playing on “experienced”, there are usually 8 cult members per safehouse. There is also one more cult member type that needs to be captured. Still consider these missions fairly easy for semi experienced agents.
Cult Outposts:Level three of difficulty when it comes to cult missions. Playing on “experienced”, there are usually 12 cult members per Outpost. There is also one more cult member type that needs to be captured.
Cult Forward:These are the most difficult. Expect heavy fire, enemies throwing grenades, etc. Playing on “experienced”, there are usually 20 cult members per Outpost. In most cases your main objective is to capture a cult boss. This will open up research for “Cult HQ missions”.
