In Customs, they spawn in Stronghold. In Woods, they spawn in the Northwest Scav Bunker. For Shoreline, they spawn exclusively in the Weather Station. In Lighthouse, there are two possible spawn locations: the north water treatment plant building and the chalet.

It can be confusing since these hooded men or cultists may look like the cultist Priest and his warriors. However, as long as you play on the maps listed above and go to the specific areas mentioned, you should encounter the Harbinger eventually.

If you want a more efficient or safe way to fight these cultists, you’re able to run Lighthouse and try to rush the chalet as fast as possible. There are two possible spawns for the Harbinger in Lighthouse, and you’ll have to hit two 50-50s to see them in the chalet. The reason why it is safer here is because there are a few spawns that are close to the location and a Red Rebel extraction near the chalet as well.

If they didn’t spawn, you may immediately extract them and repeat the process until they do spawn and you complete the task. You can alsofinish other Lighthouse quests like Easy Job Part 1or even the Lightkeeper quests if you are further in your progression.
