📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW

🎯 MANHUNT WEEK 3 — SCOUT #3 LIVE 🎯

Manhunt Week 3 is now active as of April 14, 2026, sending Agents into Constitution Hall to track down a High Value Target known as The Drager. This week’s scout is clean and efficient — three objectives, a Hard difficulty bounty, and a BTSU Firmware reward of 525 waiting at the end. Beyond the mechanical objectives, Week 3 also delivers a significant lore drop in the final comms that sets the stage for what is coming next in Year 8 Season 1 Rise Up. Whether you are a returning veteran or working through your first Manhunt season, this guide covers every step from activation to elimination.

🔶 CRITICAL FIRST STEP — ACTIVATE YOUR SCOUT

Before deploying, navigate to your Manhunt menu and confirm Scout #3 is active. This is non-negotiable — if your scout is not activated, none of your completed activities will count toward manhunt progress. Activate first, then deploy.

🔶 OBJECTIVE 1 — CONSTITUTION HALL INTEL

Your first task is to locate Outcast intel on the target known as The Drager.

How to Complete:

• Complete the Haunted House Control Point in the Constitution Hall district

• Clearing the control point fully triggers the intel drop

• Straightforward for solo Agents — no specialised build required for this step

This objective is the fastest of the three and sets the narrative context for the hunt ahead.

🔶 OBJECTIVE 2 — HOSTAGE RESCUE

With the intel secured, your next objective is to rescue an informant from enemy hands in the Constitution Hall area.

How to Complete:

• Locate and complete a Hostage Rescue activity in Constitution Hall

• Hostage Rescue events can be rare spawns — if none are visible on your map, clear other control points or open-world activities in the area to force one to spawn

• Faction flexibility: Although the mission narrative involves the Outcasts, completing a Hostage Rescue against any faction — including Black Tusk — counts toward your progress

This is the most variable objective of the three in terms of spawn timing, so allow a few minutes if the event does not appear immediately.

🔶 OBJECTIVE 3 — ELIMINATE THE DRAGER

After the rescue, a Bounty will appear nearby. Hunt down and eliminate The Drager to complete this week’s scout.

How to Complete:

• Locate and activate The Drager Bounty — it appears in the Constitution Hall area following the rescue completion

• Difficulty: This bounty is locked to Hard difficulty and does not scale with your current global world difficulty setting

• Build recommendation: A standard Striker build handles this encounter comfortably — no need for a specialised loadout

• Fully soloable for the majority of Agents — group up only if you want to accelerate the run

🔶 REWARDS

Completing Scout #3 this week provides:

• 525 BTSU Firmware — use this at the Recombinant Vendor at the Base of Operations to expand your passive modifier collection

• Significant Season Pass XP payout

If you are actively building out your Recombinant Modifier setup, this week’s Firmware reward is a meaningful injection into your passive progression.

🔶 NARRATIVE NOTE — LORE DROP

After eliminating The Drager, pay close attention to the final comms. A report comes in of a Bulldozer moving up from the DC side — with something mysterious following close behind it. This lore beat is worth listening to in full as it directly sets the stage for the next chapter of the Year 8 Season 1 narrative. Agents following the seasonal story thread should not skip the closing transmission.

🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER

⏰ Proficiency Surge ends today April 14 with the daily project reset — complete your final runs before the window closes. Deadeye Overdrive begins Friday April 17. Activate Scout #3 now and clear it before the weekly reset to secure your 525 BTSU Firmware reward.
