I jogged into East Mall with my headset crackling and a Control Point alarm still pinging on the map. I could see the patrol patterns shift and knew the clock was already eating my margin for error. You can feel the mission narrowing to three small decisions that decide whether you finish the week or fight the same grind tomorrow.
On busy nights the map feels smaller than it is. The Division 2 Y8S1 Scout 4 solutions are straightforward: three tasks, one climb toward the Manhunt finale, and a few easy ways to shave time off each step.
I’ll walk you through each objective, tell you where to push, and point out the little shortcuts that most players skip. The map opens like a crime scene logbook; the clues are obvious once you stop sprinting past them.
When you arrive, you’ll notice East Mall is a choke point for patrols and respawns. Capture 2 Control Points in East Mall and you remove enemy anchors that keep the zone hostile.
You don’t need perfect gear to take these points. Reduce the difficulty if you want a clean run, or call in allies for a quick clear. When you approach each Control Point you’ll face two phases: clear the occupying enemies, then hold against the counterattack until the capture completes.
Where are the Control Points in East Mall?
Open the in-game map and zoom into East Mall; Control Points are marked with the usual hex icons. If one is taken, fast-travel between nearby safehouses to spawn closer to the next target. Use the drone or a micro-tactical peek to spot the heavy enemies before you walk into them.
You’ll notice officers hovering by tents and noticeboards; they want resources. Donate 200 supplies to Control Points in East Mall across one or more captured locations.
After capture, approach the officer and hand over supplies; they list exactly what they want. You can stack donations across multiple Control Points, so capture one, drop supplies, move to the next. If the point isn’t under your control, take it first — that’s the easiest combo with the first task.
How do you donate supplies to Control Points?
Meet the officer within the Control Point boundary and trigger the donate prompt. Supplies are taken in bulk, and the UI confirms the amount accepted. If you’re low on supplies, raid nearby convoys or repeat a quick public control point run on a lowered difficulty to farm what you need.
The American History Museum sits like a crowned building on the map; it’s a mission you already know if you’ve played the campaign. Complete the American History Museum on any difficulty to finish Scout 4.
Run it solo on Story for a quick clear, or invite players on PC (Steam/Uplay), Xbox, or PlayStation to speed things up. If you’re streaming or scanning Reddit and YouTube for route tips, the community often posts eye-gloss runs that shave minutes off the same encounter. Your route becomes a tightrope between supply runs and skirmishes, so plan which Control Points you pair with this mission.
How do I complete Scout 4 quickly?
Pair the two East Mall captures with your donation stops, then drop into the Museum on a lowered difficulty and finish. Use a pulse or a tactical drone to avoid ambushes, call in friends through Ubisoft Connect or platform parties for one-shot clears, and check weapon perks that counter the enemy factions you’ll face.
This week’s Scout 4 is cleaner than last week’s: no HVT, lighter fights, and a clear path to the Manhunt build-up. I’ve run it solo with a modest gear score and with a two-man squad; both work if you play smart. Which route will you try first — fast solo clears, or grouped speedruns with friends?
