Shield Cultist

Shield cultists are basic enemies in CULTIC. They have a protective shield that makes ranged weapons ineffective. They come in two varieties, Hatchet Shield Cultists and Handgun Shield Cultists.
== Behavior ==
Shield cultists are much slower than their non-shielded brethren. While their shield is up, they cannot be damaged by ranged weapons from the front. They can still be damaged normally from the sides and behind. Well-placed headshots ignore their shields. Their shields have limited HP and can be destroyed, at which point shield cultists become identical to their non-shielded counterparts.
== Strategy ==
Shield cultists cannot defend against fire and explosives and die just as easily as any other cultist when hit by these things. Alternatively, one or two point blank shotgun blasts will do the job, tearing right through their shields.
