The convicts were ridiculously easy to beat anyway regardless of respawning cuz they were stupid. They rammed into the tree leaving me to have a go at them with a chainsaw every single time. I agree that the cult was a toughie. Some of those green mask dudes would sneak up on me when I least expected it and then explode. >=( Adam the clown and Steve the manager are the best. I look forward to more eccentric psychopaths.
