Scout 8 Manhunt Riddle Solutions

Every week, players can take on a Scout, which includes three different activities. These tasks change each week, and each one comes with a riddle. You’ll need to complete the activities in order. Once all three are done, you’ll earn the Scout Reward.
Riddle 1 Solution
“The defectors have given us intel about some civilian hostages. Save them.”
To complete this objective, you need to finish two hostage rescue missions. These are shown on the map with a green handcuffs icon and are called Rescue Operations.
Go to one of the locations and start clearing out the enemies. Keep fighting till one of them drops a key. Use this key to open the nearby locked door and free the hostages inside. Once you’ve done this, repeat the same steps at another Rescue Operation location. After rescuing hostages twice, the objective will be complete.
Riddle 2 Solution
“The defectors are trying to secure the Federal Triangle. Help them.”
To finish this task, you need to complete two activities against the Hyenas faction in the Federal Triangle area. These can be any open-world activities, as long as they are for the Hyenas and are located only within the Federal Triangle region. Complete two of them, and once you’re done, the second Scout 8 task will be marked as complete.
Riddle 3 Solution
“Hyenas are gathering in their Judiciary Square stronghold, clear them out so we can set up that FOB.”
To complete this objective, you need to finish the District Union Arena stronghold, and it can be done on any difficulty. You’ll find this mission on the east side of the Downtown East area. For the fastest and easiest clear, it’s best to run the mission solo and set the difficulty to the lowest option.
