the Circle of Cultists (Cultist Circle) is a module in your Hideout (Hideout) in Escape from Tarkov. You can place up to 5 items there to sacrifice them in exchange for rewards. The higher the total value of the sacrificed items, the higher your chances of getting rare items. Some unique items even unlock special sacrifices with guaranteed results.

Comment fonctionne le Cercle des Cultistes ?
the Circle of Cultists It works like a sacrificial altar: you place items on it, and the cultists give you other items in exchange. You can place a maximum of 5 items per sacrifice, and each is valued in rubles (₽).
The total value of the items deposited determines the quality of the rewards. For example, if the base price of an item is 100,000 ₽, then 5 identical items are worth a total of 500,000 ₽. The outcome isn’t entirely random: the higher the amount, the better your chances of receiving rare items. The duration of the sacrifice also varies depending on the threshold reached.
| Valeur du sacrifice (₽) | Results | Time of Sacrifice |
|---|---|---|
| ≥ 350 001 | A chance to obtain rare and valuable items. | The sacrifice will take 14 hours. |
| ≥ 400 000 | 25 % chance to receive items needed for active quests and Hideout modules to build. | If this chance triggers, the sacrifice will take 6 hours. Otherwise, it will take 14 hours. |
Please note : The value of an item depends on the market at the time it is deposited. So always aim for a little more above the threshold to make sure you clear it. Prices fluctuate with each patch, so add one more item if you're just below the threshold.
You can also increase the value of the sacrificed items by 15 % by placing a Sacred Amulet (Sacred Amulet) in the designated slot. Each sacrifice uses up one charge of the amulet. This bonus can be further enhanced through the Stash Management skill: the higher your skill level, the greater the bonus.
Comment faire un sacrifice en utilisant le Cercle des Cultistes ?
Once in front of the Circle of Cultists In your Hideout, click «Sacrifice» to open the interface.

Next, move the items you want to sacrifice from your «Reserve» to the Circle. You can place up to 5 at a time. Once you’ve made your selection, click «Sacrifice» to begin the ritual.

The wait time depends on the the value of the sacrifice and the threshold reached (6 or 14 hours, as shown in the table above).
Once the time limit has expired, the items received as rewards will appear directly in the Circle.
