📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW

🎯 MANHUNT WEEK 2 — SCOUT 2 OBJECTIVES GUIDE 🎯

Week 2 of the Year 8 Season 1 Rise Up Manhunt is live as of April 7, 2026, and Scout 2 brings three Hyena-focused objectives that can be completed efficiently once you know exactly where to go. This week’s objectives are straightforward compared to some previous Manhunt weeks, but there is an active progression bug affecting some Agents that needs to be addressed before you deploy. Whether you are pushing through the Manhunt for lore progression or chasing the seasonal rewards, this guide covers every objective with the fastest routes and pro tips to get it done clean.

🔶 CRITICAL — ACTIVATE YOUR SCOUT FIRST

Before anything else — open your Manhunt menu and confirm that Scout 2 is active. This is the single most important step every week without exception. If your scout is not activated before you begin, none of your kills or completions will count toward Manhunt progress. You will have wasted the run entirely.

Navigate to your Manhunt menu → Confirm Scout 2 is active → Then deploy.

🔶 KNOWN BUG — PROGRESSION NOT COUNTING

A progression bug is currently affecting a number of Agents where kills and completions are not registering on their main character. If you notice your progress is stuck at zero despite completing the required activities, the confirmed workaround is to log into a second character. This has been personally tested and confirmed to work. Stick with your second character for Scout 2 completions until an official fix is deployed.

🔶 OBJECTIVE 1: 25 HYENA KILLS — DOWNTOWN EAST

Your first objective requires 25 Hyena faction kills in Downtown East, and this is the fastest of the three to complete.

How to Complete:

 Location: Downtown East — Grand Washington Hotel or local Control Points

 Action: Eliminate 25 Hyena faction enemies

 Pro Tip: A single Control Point run in Downtown East is typically more than enough to hit the full 25 kills — no need to roam the open world

 Team Strategy: Works efficiently solo or in a group — Control Points scale to party size so either approach is viable

🔶 OBJECTIVE 2: 3 HYENA SNIPERS — DISTRICT UNION ARENA

Sniper kills require more patience than standard faction kills but the District Union Arena gives you a reliable and repeatable farm location.

How to Complete:

 Location: District Union Arena

 Action: Find and eliminate 3 Hyena Sniper enemies

 Where to Look: Check the first and third sections of the mission for sniper spawns — these are the most consistent spawn points

 Pro Tip: If no snipers are present on your run, reset the mission or switch the difficulty to force a fresh enemy spawn cycle

 Difficulty Note: Changing difficulty is the fastest method to cycle spawns — use it freely if the location feels dry on a given run

🔶 OBJECTIVE 3: 2 HYENA RING LEADERS — BOUNTIES

Ring Leaders are most efficiently hunted through the Bounty system rather than searching the open world for named enemy spawns.

How to Complete:

 Action: Open your map and navigate to the Bounties section

 Finding Targets: Locate and activate two Hyena bounty targets — these will contain the Ring Leader enemies you need

🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER

⏰ Scout 2 is live from April 7, 2026. Complete all three objectives before the weekly reset to maintain your Manhunt progression. Remember to check back next Tuesday for the Week 3 Scout guide — keep that momentum going and stay on target, Agents.
