The Division 2 Year 8 Season 1 (Y8S1) Rise Up Week 7 Manhunt missions are now available, marking just three more challenges before the season’s climax. This week, the spotlight shines on the Black Tusk faction as they escalate their operations near the White House. Here’s everything you need to know to complete Scout 7 and advance toward the season finale.

Week 7 Manhunt Missions: The Three Tasks

Each Manhunt mission provides three cryptic clues to decode. This week’s clues point to the following objectives:

  • Defeat 3 Warhounds
  • Complete 2 Black Tusk Bounties
  • Defend a territory during a Black Tusk Retaliation

Below is a detailed breakdown of each task and how to complete them efficiently.

1. Defeat 3 Warhounds

Warhounds are robotic dogs deployed by the Black Tusk during hostile encounters. While they can appear randomly in any conflict, their spawn rates are significantly higher during Warhound Convoy missions—where you’re guaranteed to encounter them. However, these events are random, so your ability to find Warhounds depends on luck.

To take them down:

  • Target their limbs and body for quick takedowns.
  • Use EMP grenades for an effective and efficient kill.

Once you’ve destroyed three Warhounds, the first task is complete.

2. Complete 2 Black Tusk Bounties

For this task, navigate to the bounties tab and select the Black Tusk faction. The location of the bounty doesn’t matter—you just need to complete two bounties to fulfill the requirement.

You can choose any difficulty level, but higher difficulties yield better rewards. Just ensure you’re selecting the correct faction when starting a bounty to avoid mistakes.

3. Defend a Territory During a Black Tusk Retaliation

To complete this task:

  1. Join a Black Tusk Retaliation event.
  2. Start your attack and capture a Control Point.
  3. Wait for the Black Tusk to retaliate by attempting to recapture the Control Point you took.
  4. Defend the territory by eliminating all enemies during the retaliation.
  5. Capture all Control Points in the district to fully complete the task.

Once finished, you’ll have completed the final Scout 7 mission for Week 7.

What’s Next After Scout 7?

With Scout 7 completed, only two more sets of challenges remain in the season. Notably, Week 9 will feature a mission to take down a High-Value Target (HVT), bringing the total HVT takedowns to three for the season.
