Cultist Sacrifice is a Tier 3 Weapon Item that can be purchased from the Shop for 3,200. Its component, Monster Rounds, makes up 800 of the cost.

Notes

The buff persists through death.
Most player-created NPCs (summons) can also be consumed for the bonus souls, see more below.
The active works by dealing a large amount of Spirit Damage. This means it can activate on-hit spirit damage procs such as Spirit Burn.

Souls

Using Cultist Sacrifice on an NPC gives the player the full soul bounty plus 180% (280% total).
The original bounty and the bonus are displayed as two separate values when activated.
The bonus souls from Cultist Sacrifice are secured souls.

Damage vs NPCs

The bonus damage works against Troopers, neutral entities like Neutrals and Mid-Boss, as well as lane structures and team objectives such as Guardians, Walkers, Shrines, and the Patron.
The +30% bonus is a simple damage multiplier bonus like from any other item or weapon investment and stacks with other bonuses through Weapon Damage formula.

Resist vs NPCs

The bonus Bullet Resist has no effect against Walkers, the Patron, and Graves', McGinnis' and Rem's summons, since they deal Spirit Damage.
