📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW

🎯 MANHUNT WEEK 9 SOLUTION 🎯

Welcome to Manhunt Week 9 of 12 — Scout 9 is now active, bringing a straightforward but time-intensive set of objectives for agents this week. This week’s Manhunt focuses on tactical operations across Washington D.C., with enemy factions exploiting the chaos left by the True Sons’ raids on the Castle Settlement. Agents will need to complete a Propaganda Broadcast, clear all Control Points in the Southwest zone, and assault the Capitol Building to disrupt enemy operations. This guide provides a complete breakdown of all three objectives, efficient completion strategies, and tips for unlocking this week’s audio file. Whether running solo or in a group, agents can clear Scout 9 efficiently with proper planning and route optimization.

🔶 GETTING STARTED – CRITICAL STEP

Activate Scout 9 Before Deploying

Before starting any objectives, agents must ensure that Scout 9 is ACTIVATED in the Manhunt menu. If the scout is not active, none of your progress will count toward completion. This is a common mistake that costs agents time and frustration.

How to Activate:

Navigate to Manhunt Menu → Scout 9

Confirm Scout 9 is enabled before deploying

All objectives will now track progress correctly

🔶 OBJECTIVE 1: PROPAGANDA BROADCAST (EAST MALL OR SOUTHWEST)

Enemy Factions Spreading Propaganda

Enemy factions are tightening control around key zones by spreading propaganda. Agents must disrupt one of these broadcasts to weaken their influence.

How to Complete:

Action: Complete 1 Propaganda Broadcast

Location: East Mall OR Southwest

Pro Tip: If no broadcasts are active, clear a nearby activity or fast travel to refresh the map

Team Strategy: Very quick solo, even faster in a group

This is the easiest objective of the week and can be completed in just a few minutes. Propaganda Broadcasts are marked on the map with a megaphone icon and typically involve clearing a small group of enemies.

🔶 OBJECTIVE 2: CONTROL POINT SWEEP (SOUTHWEST)

Factions Control Southwest — Push Them Out

The factions have taken full control of the Southwest zone, and agents must recapture every Control Point to complete this objective. This is the most time-intensive task of the week.

How to Complete:

Action: Complete ALL Control Points in the Southwest zone

Location: Southwest D.C.

Pro Tip: Lower world difficulty to speed up captures

Difficulty Note: Can be completed on any difficulty

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This objective will not complete until every Southwest Control Point is captured. Agents should plan their route efficiently to minimize travel time between Control Points.

Recommended Strategy:

Start at the southernmost Control Point and work your way north

Use fast travel between points to save time

Run on Normal or Hard difficulty for faster clears

Group play speeds this up significantly

🔶 OBJECTIVE 3: CAPITOL BUILDING MISSION

Capitol Building Used as Forward Operating Base

The Capitol Building is being used as a Forward Operating Base to launch attacks on settlements. Agents must assault the building and neutralize the threat.

How to Complete:

Action: Complete the Capitol Building mission

💡 PRO TIP: Run it on Normal or Hard for a fast clear

Team Strategy: Scales well solo, but groups clear it faster

Matchmaking: Recommended for efficiency

The Capitol Building mission is straightforward and can be completed quickly with proper builds. Agents running solo should expect a 15-20 minute clear time, while groups can finish in under 10 minutes on Normal difficulty.

🔶 NARRATIVE NOTE

True Sons Raids Exploit Castle Settlement

Intel confirms enemy factions are exploiting the chaos left by the True Sons’ raids on the Castle Settlement, expanding control across the surrounding districts. This week’s objectives focus on disrupting their expanded operations and reclaiming lost territory.

🔶 AUDIO FILE UNLOCK

Weekly Manhunt Intel

Completing all objectives this week will unlock this week’s Manhunt audio file, adding new intel and advancing the season’s story. With only three weeks remaining until the season’s climax mission, every audio file brings agents closer to uncovering the full scope of the True Sons’ operations and Agent Kelso’s role in the unfolding narrative.

🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER

⏰ Activate Scout 9 in the Manhunt menu before starting. Complete all three objectives to unlock this week’s audio file. Control Points are the main time sink this week — plan your route efficiently and consider lowering world difficulty for faster clears.
