I dropped into Downtown East with the radio chatter thin and my map pinging in one corner of the HUD. A Hyena sniper took the rooftop two streets over and the timer in my head started ticking. By the time I cleared the alley, the scout objective had already shifted from theory to pressure.
I’ve run these weekly manhunts enough to know what works and what wastes your time. I’ll walk you through the three Scout 2 tasks, point out a persistent bug and its fixes, and give you the quickest routes to finish the week without babysitting the grind. You’ll leave the session with the objectives done, and a plan you can repeat next week.

The scout slate for Week 2 is simple and unapologetic: hunt Hyenas until the tasks are stamped complete. Here’s what you must finish.
- Kill 25 Hyenas in Downtown East
- Eliminate 3 Hyena Snipers
- Complete 2 Hyena Bounties
Heads up: a recurring bug can stop the first objective from tracking. If the counter refuses to move, finish any ongoing Retaliation activity and the tracker usually wakes up. If that fails, switch to an alternate character and then bounce back to your main — that swap often forces the game to refresh your scout progress.
How do I find Hyenas in Downtown East?
Downtown East sits north of the Capitol and is littered with activities that spawn Hyenas. I treat it like a surgical route: land at a control point, sweep the nearby events, then rotate to the next activity. Downtown East becomes a pressure cooker during peak events, so time your runs when fewer players are on if you want uncontested kills.
Start a public activity or a control point and clear enemies. Most events will flood Hyenas into alleys and rooftops, giving you easy counts toward the 25-kill requirement. If you prefer tools, check community maps on Reddit or follow creators on YouTube and Twitch who mark high-density spawn windows — Ubisoft Connect and the in-game map screen will point you to active bounties too.
How do I eliminate Hyena snipers quickly?
Control Points often include sniper nests; think of them as beehives that sting when ignored. To hit the three required sniper kills fast, push Control Point activities or take bounties that call out ranged enemies. Aim for rooftops and long sightlines, bring a body shield or a pulse skill, and clear one nest at a time.
Play whatever difficulty you enjoy; Heroic and Challenging reward you better loot if you want more than the scout tick. If you’re running solo, bring a quiet approach—use suppressed weapons or distract groups before you hunt snipers down.
Why won’t my Hyena kills register?
If Hyena kills aren’t tracking, try two quick fixes I use when the tracker stalls: complete any in-progress Retaliation task, which often forces the progression system to refresh, or switch to an alternate character and then back to your main. Both methods have worked for players on forums and for me in-game when the counter flatlined.
For the final objective—two Hyena bounties—open the map and pull up the dedicated bounty tab. I found multiple active Hyena bounties around Downtown East during my run; most are straightforward waves until the boss spawns. Kill the target twice and the Scout 2 mission wraps.
If you want to speed-run the week, coordinate with a friend over Discord or catch a twitch streamer who runs map pins in real time; pairing the game’s in-built map with community tools is how I shave minutes off the farm.
