How to find Strongholds

For the duration of this update, Strongholds will appear on the map. These are buildings that house cultists and a lot of loot. Here is how you can find them:

• Step 1: Raise your Fire level to 3 or 4 to access deeper areas of the map.
• Step 2: Build a map, as it will display the location of the stronghold.
• Step 3: Use the map to reach the stronghold.

The stronghold is filled with cultists who will attack you if you are seen. Therefore, you should be prepared before challenging the stronghold. Here are some tips that will help:

• You should have a revolver with 35+ bullets. It is also advised to team up with one or two allies.
• In battles, try to divide the groups of cultists. Isolated members can be defeated using an axe.
• To defeat a cult member, you need to shoot it at least four times.
• Although the cultists drop some ammunition when defeated, the main rewards are on the top floor of their stronghold.
• The cultists you defeat will not respawn for a while, so you can take short breaks to regroup and heal the team.

Defeating the stronghold will lead you to a few rare chests, which will contain valuable resources like Diamonds, Strong Light, and Tactical Shotgun.
