📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🎯 MANHUNT WEEK 1 — SCOUT #1 IS LIVE 🎯
Year 8 Season 1 is here and the Rise Up Manhunt has begun. Week 1 puts Agents in Federal Triangle with three objectives to complete — and it’s a clean, fast opener designed to get you into the seasonal loop quickly. Whether you’re a veteran agent or returning to the game fresh this season, this guide covers everything you need to finish Scout #1 efficiently and start banking that Season XP.
🔶 CRITICAL FIRST STEP — ACTIVATE YOUR SCOUT
Before deploying into Federal Triangle, open your Manhunt menu and activate Scout #1. This is the step that catches the most Agents off guard — if your scout is not active before you start completing objectives, none of your progress will count and you will have to repeat the work. Activate first, then deploy.
🔶 OBJECTIVE 1 — CAPTURE NAVY PLAZA
Head into Federal Triangle and capture the Navy Plaza Control Point. This is a straightforward open-world objective and perfectly doable solo. Dropping your world difficulty to Normal will speed up the process significantly with no downside to rewards. A group will clear it even faster, but solo Agents have nothing to worry about here.
Key Details:
Location: Federal Triangle
Action: Capture Navy Plaza Control Point
Recommended Difficulty: Normal for fastest clear
Group or Solo: Both work fine
🔶 OBJECTIVE 2 — COMPLETE 3 ACTIVITIES IN FEDERAL TRIANGLE
Complete any three open-world activities in Federal Triangle. Control Points, Public Executions, and similar objectives all count toward this total.
Efficiency Tip: Capturing and defending Navy Plaza in Objective 1 already counts as one activity — so you are already at 1 out of 3 before you even start hunting for more.
Fastest Method:
Reset your Control Points in the area
Re-capture Navy Plaza again
This gives you fast, repeatable activity completions without needing to search the map
Lower difficulty settings will speed up all activity clears with no penalty. Work smart, not hard.
🔶 OBJECTIVE 3 — COMPLETE JEFFERSON TRADE CENTER
Run the Jefferson Trade Center mission to close out the week. This is a standard mission located in Federal Triangle with no special conditions required.
Key Details:
Mission: Jefferson Trade Center
Location: Federal Triangle
Recommended: Normal difficulty for a fast, clean clear
Solo works perfectly fine — groups will finish it faster
🔶 NARRATIVE — THE UFO COLLECTIBLE
This week’s intel drop is one of the more unusual ones. Upon completing the Scout, Agents will unlock a collectible featuring an after-action report of a UFO sighting in Arlington — describing an unidentified object lifting a vehicle into the air. The report includes some dry Division humor, with agents internally questioning whether they are now dealing with “Project Blue Book” situations on top of everything else.
It is worth reading for the lore alone. Keep an eye on how this thread develops as the Manhunt progresses through the season — it may be building toward something.
🔶 REWARDS
Upon completing all three objectives:
Season XP
A new com (collectible) added to your intel set
Each weekly scout builds on the last, adding to a growing story that runs through the full season toward the finale. Finishing early keeps you ahead of the curve and stacking progression from day one.
🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER
⏰ Manhunt Week 1 is live now and resets weekly on Tuesdays. Get Scout #1 done early to maximise your Season XP gains and stay ahead of the seasonal journey progression.
