The Division 2 Scout 3 Manhunt – All Objectives & Solutions
| Objective | Location | Best Solution & Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Collect Hidden Data Cache | Summit University Rooftop | Climb the yellow scaffolding on the east side. The cache is inside the broken AC unit on the roof. Use Scanner Pulse to highlight it. |
| Disable Black Tusk Relay | Abandoned Metro Tunnel (West) | Solve the light sequence puzzle: Blue → Red → Green. Stay behind cover as enemies spawn after hacking begins. |
| Eliminate the Scout Patrol | Waterfront Construction Site | Use stealth or lure enemies into the narrow alley. Avoid triggering the alarm drone on the crane. |
| Defeat Scout 3 Boss | Rooftop Helipad | Destroy the two support turrets first. Boss has heavy armor — focus weak points on the back and use EMP grenades. |
Recommended Route:
Start at Summit University → fast travel to the Metro Tunnel → clear the Waterfront patrol → finish at the Helipad boss. This route saves the most time and keeps your skills off cooldown for the final fight.
Pro Tips for 3 Stars:
- Equip the Scanner Pulse and Reviver Hive.
- Bring a build with good crowd control and armor damage.
- The boss becomes much easier if you destroy his turrets within the first 30 seconds.
Completing Scout 3 gives you exclusive seasonal gear, XP, and progress toward the Season 2 rewards track.
