Challenge 1: East Mall Control Points
Riddle: “The Ring safe house has requested help clearing the area of True Sons.”
Solution: Capture two of the four Control Points in East Mall district. The available locations are Metro Ruins, Sinkhole, Solar Farm, and Crash Site. While only two are required, liberating all four benefits your next objective and provides additional resources.
Pro tip: You can recruit companions after finishing the new companion tutorial mission to help with these captures.
Challenge 2: Supply Drop Activity
Riddle: “We’re sending in a supply drop to help replenish resources.”
Solution: Complete one Supply Drop activity in the East Mall region. These activities appear on your map as green icons showing a box with a parachute. Head to the marked location, defend the area from enemies, and secure the supply crate.
Challenge 3: Castle Vendor Transaction
Riddle: “The Castle settlement has requested additional resources.”
Solution: Travel to The Castle settlement and sell any 10 gear pieces or weapons to the vendor. This clears your inventory while contributing resources to the settlement’s defenses against future raids.

FAQs
Do I need to complete Scout objectives in order to unlock the Manhunt Climax Mission?
No, the system changed in Year 7. You only need to complete two HVT (High Value Target) Scouts to unlock the Climax Mission, not all sequential scouts. However, completing regular Scout objectives still rewards High-End equipment, SHD Calibration materials, Field Recon Data, Exotic Components, and audio collectibles for lore enthusiasts.
Can I reset Control Points if I’ve already captured them before Week 1 started?
Yes, you can reset your Control Points back to enemy control and recapture them to complete the objective. This mechanic allows players who previously cleared East Mall to still finish Challenge 1 without waiting for natural respawns, ensuring everyone can progress through Scout 1 regardless of their prior activities.
