📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🔓 MANHUNT SCOUT 1: WEEK 1 SOLUTIONS GUIDE (Year 7 Season 3 — MUTINY)
Agents, a new season is underway, and Week 1 of the Mutiny Manhunt has begun! This guide provides a complete walkthrough for clearing all three Scout objectives quickly—including the critical step that most agents struggle with: triggering the Supply Drop event in East Mall.
🔶 OBJECTIVE 1: LIBERATE CONTROL POINTS
Task: Clear out the True Sons and liberate control points in East Mall.
Solution: Head to East Mall and liberate any two control points. Two control points were immediately available at login for most players, making this objective straightforward.
Completion Time: Approximately 15-20 minutes depending on your build and approach.
🔶 OBJECTIVE 2: COMPLETE A SUPPLY DROP (This is the critical one!)
Task: Complete a supply drop event to replenish SHD resources.
Requirement: Must be completed in East Mall.
✅ How to Force the Supply Drop to Spawn
This is where most agents get stuck. To trigger the event reliably, you will likely need to make the entire East Mall zone friendly:
Step 1: Capture All Four Control Points in East Mall The zone must show green (not invaded, not hostile). This is the most reliable method to trigger the supply drop event.
Step 2: Wait for the Supply Drop Event to Appear Once the zone is friendly, the supply drop should spawn. If it takes too long, try fast-travel resets to refresh the world state:
White House
Nearby safe houses
DZ checkpoints
These fast-travel resets can help trigger the drop by refreshing the game’s event spawning system.
⚠️ Critical Tip: You must collect every crate in the drop for it to count toward objective completion. Missing even one crate will prevent progress.
🔶 OBJECTIVE 3: PROVIDE RESOURCES TO CASTLE SETTLEMENT
Task: Provide resources to help reinforce Castle Settlement.
Solution: Sell 10 items at the Castle vendor. The easiest method is to mark items as junk and then sell all junk at once.
Vendor Location: On the east side of Castle Settlement, next to Wally, at the laptop vendor.
Completion Time: 1-2 minutes.
🔶 WEEK 1 COMMUNICATION LOG REWARD
Completing all objectives unlocks a new communication log that provides early narrative context for the Mutiny Manhunt.
Summary of the New Comm:
A General and Lieutenant discuss:
Heavy supply shipments headed to the training center and foundry
Delays caused by an unspecified “disruption”
Strict authorization requirements
The General insisting that “nothing moves without my authorization”
Pressure to “keep the troops in line” because “too much is at stake”
Narrative Analysis: Dark tension is already building for this Manhunt. The emphasis on strict authorization and keeping troops in line suggests internal conflict within the True Sons faction—directly tying into the “Mutiny” theme of Season 3.
🔶 IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THE SEASON
Week 1 Scout Auto-Activation: Week 1 Scout may auto-activate this season (unlike previous seasons where you had to manually activate it). If you want to save the XP for later progression, deactivate it manually from your objectives menu.
Progression Requirements: To unlock the final climax mission, you only need to complete the High Value Targets in:
Week 4
Week 7
Week 12
Weekly Scouts are optional for progression—they provide XP and lore but are not mandatory for unlocking the finale.
🔶 TROUBLESHOOTING: SUPPLY DROP WON’T SPAWN
If you’re having trouble getting the supply drop to appear:
Method 1: Clear All Four Control Points This is the most reliable trigger. Make sure East Mall shows green on your map.
Method 2: Fast-Travel Reset Fast-travel to:
White House
Nearby safe houses
DZ checkpoints
Then return to East Mall and check if the event has spawned.
Method 3: Wait and Patrol Sometimes the event simply needs time to spawn. Patrol the area and check your map periodically.
Method 4: Server Swap If all else fails, log out and log back in to potentially join a different server instance where the event may already be active.
🔶 COMPLETION CHECKLIST
✅ Liberate two control points in East Mall
✅ Trigger and complete supply drop (collect all crates!)
✅ Sell 10 items at Castle Settlement vendor
✅ Collect Week 1 communication log
✅ Deactivate Scout if saving XP for later
