Walkthrough[edit]

  • You now need to hold the area and keep all 4 bombs active for 4 minutes here.
  • To succeed here, all 4 bombs must be active when the timer expires.
  • Whenever a cultist reaches the bomb, it takes them about 40 seconds to disarm it, giving you a notification about it.
  • It only takes a second or two to rearm the bomb thankfully after they disable it.
  • Having Guns for Hire is crucial to this fight and the Leadership perk, enabling 2 Guns/Fangs for Hire, makes is a moderately challenging scene.


  • The Cultists will be coming as Soldiers and the occasional Sniper.
  • Things start slowly, letting you have a chance to get your bearings and get into a good position.
  • Run and climb onto the Northern rooftop and look to the Northwest.
  • You will see a truck driving up the slope to the mine.
  • Use a ranged explosive and destroy it or pick off the Cultists as best you can.
  • From the Northeast a Sniper will climb onto the shed to start attacking you.
  • Things very quickly get more chaotic.
  • Now, Cultists will be approaching from the Southern side, rushing toward the bombs in that area.
  • Not too long after that, a sizable ground will be coming from the West toward the crate nearby the mine entrance itself.
  • Rush over there and start fighting through them.
  • In the last 2 minutes, the cultists will be appearing from all sides at a moderate pace.
  • You will need to run around the whole area, quickly dispatching the Cultists as they run to reach the bombs and disarm them.
