📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🔶 MANHUNT WEEK 4 — SCOUT #4 COMPLETE GUIDE
The Rise Up Manhunt continues into its fourth week, sending agents into the East Mall region for a focused set of objectives that chain together naturally and can be completed in a single clean deployment. Week 4 is one of the more efficient weeks in the season — three objectives, one region, and one mission clear wraps everything up without significant backtracking. Beyond the gameplay, this week’s narrative unlock adds a significant environmental threat to the broader Rise Up storyline that agents following the lore will not want to miss. This guide covers everything needed to complete Scout #4 quickly and efficiently, including the critical activation step that many agents overlook.
🔶 CRITICAL FIRST STEP — ACTIVATE YOUR SCOUT
Before deploying for any objective this week, agents must navigate to the Manhunt menu and confirm that Scout #4 is active. This is the single most important step in the entire guide.
Key details:
• If Scout #4 is not activated before you begin, none of your activities will register toward Manhunt progress
• Control Point captures, supply donations, and mission completions all require active Scout status to count
• Navigate to the Manhunt menu, locate Scout #4, and confirm it is active before leaving the Base of Operations
• This step cannot be retroactively applied — always activate first, deploy second
🔶 OBJECTIVE 1 — CAPTURE CONTROL POINTS IN EAST MALL
The first objective requires agents to capture two Control Points within the East Mall region. The area offers several options that sit close enough together to chain in a single run.
Important information:
• Recommended locations: Crash Site, Solar Farm, Sinkhole, Metro Ruins — any two qualify
• All difficulty settings count toward capture credit — lower difficulty for faster solo captures
• Groups can split between two Control Points simultaneously for a fast coordinated clear
• Captured Control Points turn green on the map and remain active for the donation objective that follows immediately after
🔶 OBJECTIVE 2 — DONATE SUPPLIES TO CONTROL POINTS
With Control Points secured, the second objective requires donating a total of 200 materials to the Control Point Officers in East Mall.
Key details:
• Fast travel to any green (captured) Control Point in East Mall and interact with the Officer to begin
• The 200-material total can be split across both captured points — no requirement to reach the full amount at a single location
• If short on materials after two points, capture additional Control Points such as Sinkhole or Metro Ruins and continue donating at each Officer
• Material shortfall is the most common reason agents stall on this objective — have surplus materials ready before starting
🔶 OBJECTIVE 3 — COMPLETE AMERICAN HISTORY MUSEUM
The final objective requires completing the American History Museum mission to close out the week.
Important information:
• Any difficulty setting counts toward objective completion — all levels register
• Both the standard version and the invaded version will count — run whichever is available
• Solo agents can close the week out efficiently on lower difficulties without grouping
• The American History Museum is located in East Mall, making it a natural chain after the Control Point objectives in the same deployment
• Cherry Blossom lantern locations overlap in this area — double up both objectives in the same run for maximum efficiency
🔶 NARRATIVE NOTE — THE HYDROLOGY REPORT
Completing this week’s objectives unlocks a new comm featuring a conversation between Mari and another survivor discussing a hydrology report from monitoring stations upriver.
Key details:
• Monitoring stations have detected a significant spike in phosphorus levels in the river system
• Current filtration infrastructure can manage drinking water safety for now but conditions are deteriorating
• Elevated phosphorus levels are building toward a potential algae bloom that could trigger ecosystem collapse and widespread fish die-offs
• Toxins produced by the bloom could damage the pumping systems that settlements across D.C. depend on for water supply
• This introduces a slow-burn environmental threat woven into the Rise Up narrative — the city’s infrastructure is becoming an active threat vector beyond faction conflict
🔶 AGENT TIP — CHAIN ALL THREE IN ONE RUN
Week 4 is designed to flow naturally in sequence. Capture two East Mall Control Points, donate materials at the Officers immediately after, then fast travel to the American History Museum for the final mission clear. The entire week can be completed in a single deployment without returning to the Base of Operations between objectives. Agents working on Cherry Blossom lanterns at the same time will find the East Mall and American History Museum areas overlap with several lantern locations — run both together for the most efficient session possible.
🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER
⏰ Activate Scout #4 in the Manhunt menu before deploying — this cannot be stressed enough. Cherry Blossom Event is also live until May 12 — the American History Museum deployment is a strong double-dip opportunity for agents hunting lanterns in the East Mall region.
