I remember the alley light strobing as a Warhound sprinted past—metal paws clattering against brick. You stop, aim, and realize Week 7 is the kind of pressure test that separates quiet grinders from players who close a season. I’ll walk you through the three Scout 7 missions so you finish them fast and clean.

You’re three steps from the Season finale and the Black Tusk are turning up the pressure. I’ve run these missions solo and with squads—so listen: these tasks are straightforward if you know where to hunt, what to shoot, and when to hold ground. The Black Tusk are a loaded gun; approach with purpose.
Three clues, three tasks. Here’s the quick map:
- Defeat 3 Warhounds
- Complete 2 Black Tusk bounties
- Defend a territory during a Black Tusk retaliation
How do I find Warhounds and defeat them?
Warhounds spawn during many hostile events, but the fastest route is to chase a Warhound Convoy — those missions guarantee at least one. If you prefer farming, hit public activities and road ambushes; spawn is random, so patience pays.
How to kill them quickly: aim for limbs and the torso. EMP grenades and shock mods stagger their systems; a headshot won’t do much if their legs keep them moving. Bring a weapon with high single-target damage or an SMG with precise burst control. I usually clear one convoy and walk away with two or three down in under ten minutes when I position well.
Where are Black Tusk bounties, and which should I pick?
Open the Bounties tab and pick the Black Tusk filter — that’s the only thing that counts toward Scout 7. Location doesn’t matter; completing two bounties clears the second task. I’ll tell you what I look for:
- Pick a bounty that matches your loadout. If you run a sniper kit, choose assassination/takedown bounties. If you run a tank or big AOE, pick open-play bounties.
- Higher difficulty = better loot. If you want gear, raise the stakes and take a friend or two. Solo players can still clear Normal or Hard without long wipes.
- Check Reddit and Ubisoft forums for spawn reports — the community often points out faster bounty rotations. Steam guides and YouTube clips can show extraction tricks if you’re stuck.
How do I trigger and defend during a Black Tusk Retaliation?
Start a Black Tusk attack on a Control Point and capture it. The faction will counterattack to retake control — that’s when your defense counts. Capture all Control Points in the district and hold them through the wave to complete the third task.
Defensive tips I use regularly: hold a choke, control sightlines, and rotate with smart use of skills (turrets and shields are gold here). If you prefer to roam, treat each Control Point like a small fortress and deny flanking routes. When teammates drop, call their respawn quickly — momentum swings fast and the map is a chessboard; one misstep hands the enemy initiative.
Finish Scout 7 and you’ll have two final sets of challenges ahead, one of which in Week 9 includes an HVT target. If you want the cleanest runs, trial the routes on YouTube, read recent threads on Reddit, and monitor official Ubisoft posts for any hotfix changes.
I’ve shown you how to hunt Warhounds, which bounties to pick, and how to keep a Control Point from slipping — which approach will you bet on when Scout 7 comes at you?
